I think Arsenal should have started at least Timber, if not Calafiori. I was fine with the midfield and attackers. But, that back line was the most defensive one possible.

If we didn't know how many minutes Timber could do, Mikel should have had him on at the start. That way if he ran out of steam, he could be replaced by Mosquera, who at that point would be dealing with a much less energetic (and probably knowing Timber) bruised (Copy-Paste) Kvaratskhelia.

As for Eze, I've always hated the stutter-step penalties. Even when they work they seem like cheating. When they don't work you look like an idiot.

Ultimately we held French Oil FC to a draw for 120 minutes

Arsenal were the only team to score an open play goal. That's better than just holding them to a draw. Sure, the 3rd choice right back fouled possibly the best winger in the world and gave away a penalty. But, it's not like they had a massive XG and Arsenal got lucky. They were up against a monster defence.

So this has been a good season.

Hmm, you think so?
