Yeah, it does seem in these conditions that anything that requires you to maybe run a bit less is probably worth thinking about.

But just before we leave Neymar behind here, there's a couple of issues there.

I mean, I wondered if Ancelotti was sort of pandering a little bit, purely because I saw so many videos of Brazilians reacting with joy to the inclusion of Neymar, who they love, even though he's a shadow of the...

player that he was and it's clear that this was obviously a really popular decision people just want Neymar to be there because Neymar you know let's in my opinion is the best Brazilian player of the last 25 years you know since Ronaldinho I think he's the best player that's come out of Brazil he's been so unlucky in the World Cup I remember his goal against Croatia in the last one which was one of the goals of the tournament and then moments later Croatia ended up scoring equalizing with a deflection and winning on penalties and he's out again and

He's had a lot of heartbreak, but when you see the reaction of people to the news that he's in, it underlines his enormous status, which is still far above that of any other player I can see in this squad.

And if you're going to bring him along, obviously he's not going to be playing 90 minutes of every game.

Is he a guy who's, do you think he would be happy to be a 30 minute guy?

You know, I'm looking at my options on the bench.

Nay, you're up.

Like, is he happy to accept that type of a limited role?

Category number one.

What?

You expected us to go out there and lose 5-0?

That was, you know, so that's basically the, you know, oh, for your end, you think it would be better if we run out there and lose five now.

In a Champions League final.

Yeah, in a Champions League final.

I would say my response is false dichotomy.

There's a false dichotomy there.

What this is basically saying is Arsenal have to time waste so sickeningly that the referee doesn't even allow them to take one of the four corners they're awarded in the 120 minutes or lose 5-0.

They've got no choice but to do that.
