Mate this is huge, I actually feel surprisingly confident and not that stressed about the game. I think we’ve got something for them
We're in a great moment in terms of confidence, squad health, match sharpness, etc. It just seems like all the odds are in our favor to win this game. COYG
Odegaard has to start this match, that ability to keep the ball to ourselves will be key, Psg know how to press, we can't keep losing the ball , if by 65 minutes we are still in the game we can win Come on Arsenal ❤
Another masterclass from Harvey :) I am quietly confident about this match. I trust Arteta, and this team. Winning the title on MD37 means we've had time to rest and relax, and Arteta's had the chance to draw several different plans to overcome PSG.
“Give me 3 minutes” Harvey Arteta ❤️
Love the analysis COYG lets win the ucl
The result is the result & their front 3 are Insane xG overperformers BUT they are definitely about to get a hiding. You can telll the players WANTED this tie. And this Arteta team if nothing is vengeful. 🤣
3:1 PSG
Agree with your lineup, but I think Odegaard starting will give us a solid midfield 3, not letting us get dominated. He'll also help us a lot more in the press. Eze with Gyokores might be better coming on when players tire and spaces open up.
PSG are not averse to "ruining the game" using set-pieces to gain an advantage. How they used goal kicks to neutralise Olise was just called tactics.
Great vid. Love your analysis and personality. Have a sub
Thank you Harvey for being our football companion this season. Just one more game left! Let’s do this!
Best pre match analysis out there
Great vid Harvey, haven’t finished it yet but I’m very confident about the game, I know that we WILL win this game and just wanted to thank you for all the hard work and great analysis this season and i can’t wait for the next seasons to come.
Do you think Timber can go 90 minutes after being out for a while?
This is a ridiculous video — by far the best preview I’ve seen 👏
Really excited for this game. I know we’ll give them a game. Excited to see how Arteta attempts the puzzle now that we have fitter players and options off the bench. Let’s make it happen! COYG
Great analysis, but what you need to understand is psg change their tactics every time, and I’m sure they have a special tactics in place on Saturday.
As long as we are holding the trophy at the end, I don't care how we play tbh. Play boring, stifle PSG and grow into the game. We are already champions so this should give us extra energy. I can see Eze shining.
Ball retention and learning from the mistakes in the EFL cup final is the most important aspect, for me.
