Win the final 2 and its a wrap.
Palace should be playing a "B" team/youth side, ahead of their European final. Put as many past Burnley as you can. As a just in case scenario for goal differential.
Bournemouth is the real threat to take points off City if there was to be any additional help.
Haaland on the bench vs. Palace. Looks like Pep is doing a it of rotation.

Doku, O'Reilly, and Cherki also out.
After having watched this video I am concerned. Not once did they notice or mention the jersey tug on Raya. That might be even more impactful on him than the arm across. Prevents him from being able to jump.
Bournemouth is the best bet for additional help, but 3 matches in a week will lead to some tired legs regardless. Chelsea are in terrible form, but have to go all out since they have slid out of European contention. Not like that matters for the title race, but they could give them a hotly contested match.
Kane, then Yamal are the odds on favorites. For now
Disappointing let down. I honestly shouldn't be surprised since they have been doing this all season. But I honestly thought they had found something recently.
I remember being so hype for the CL Final, and then the early Lehmann red card :wah:

Barca was my 2nd favorite club at the time :violin:
I'd like them to continue with the attacking mindset tomorrow. West Ham need a win, so I don't think they can afford to sit 10 behind the ball and hope for a lucky goal. So be aggressive and hit them in the space behind. City scoring 3 today also means you need to reestablish the goal differential as a contingency.
If I had to watch a Bayern style backline I'd have a rage fit. Reminds me of Sideshow Bob days.
Gyokeres was a beast!

Think he starts against WH?
Gyok still terrorizing them, I say leave him on. Zubi for MLS if you want to see out the match. Martinelli for Trossard if you are still going for it. Wildcard is if White can last the full 90.
White, Trossard, Gyok. Who gets subbed? Only have 2 left
Controled the 1st half, this one is much more even, with Atleti around the Arsenal box a lot more.

Guys are making some great runs, but some of the midfielders just wont play the advancing ball.

Incredible pass by Hincapie, but Gyok just couldn't keep it down. So close to ending it.
Guessing he's sticking to a strict minutes restriction for everyone, even in an elimination match.

Gyokeres is still hustling his arse off and causing problems, so I don't really want to see Jesus come on for him.
A bit worried now that the game is up and down, Madueke needs to help defend. He might have space to run in behind or dribble past a defender, but definitely needs to get back and help White, which is something he hasn't been great at.
Rice needs to play that earlier if he's not going to shoot it himself. Waited too long and Gyok got closed down.
Those through balls and runs in behind were what shredded Fulham. Need more of that. Granted it will be tougher with Atleti so hunkered down.
Whew. Finally

Atleti haven't given the guys much space. Arsenal aren't playing bad as far as poor passing or terrible give aways, just not much room, and no moments of brilliance so far.

Glad someone finally shot, fortunate deflection and Saka johnny on the spot.
Eze not involved enough this half for my liking, Trossard even less involved.
No rhythm right now. Bunch of back passing around the backline and to Raya. Stuck in their own box much of this half.
Rice playing deeper than the Centerbacks right now, and White drifting up/away from right back often.

Not sure if its a gameplan or just teh way the match has gone thus far.
