Arsenal One Step Closer

It's missed passes, set pieces.

It's the only thing that gives you drama when you're Arsenal.

There was certainly a shout for a penalty kick on Joao Pedro at the back post, where Salih was grabbing him to the ground.

ESPN FC

That wasn't given.

That may have changed the dynamics of the game or the personality of the game.

Middle third, nonsense fouls, stoppages, complaining to the referee, booing from the crowd.

ESPN FC

Nothing of quality to actually see on the field, and not that they're here to entertain us, because Arsenal, all they wanna do is get through to the next round, but Chelsea never really pushed.

ESPN FC

Look, I think sometimes as a center forward, you get frustrated by the lack of service and then that frustration amounts to you stop making the runs.

ESPN FC
Arsenal One Step Closer

And that's the worst thing that you can do as a player, because you cannot lose sight of the fact that you can be useful to the team in other ways.

ESPN FC
Arsenal One Step Closer

And while I advocate for center forwards to be patient, to allow the game to come to them, to not force it, not force the touches.

ESPN FC

If you have touched the ball once in the first 30 minutes, I'm going to the center back and give me a ball, give me a touch.
