FA Cup Final: Arsenal vs Chelsea Saturday 1st August | KO: 17:30 BST | BBC 1

[A_G]

I died inside. Thought it was another banter fc result, that Cazorla free kick is something I will never ever forget.

I was in a state of shock Didn't even react to Davies making it 2-0

Once Santi scored tho I knew that was a W

 

[FinnGooner]

Taylor been good so far. I'm sure VAR will override him in the end

 

[El Duderino]

That's Mount and Kovacic on yellows, need to make something out of that as well.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Why is Laca so tired already?

that beard is not aerodynamic.

 

[junglist57]

Dani Ceballos knows how to dive. Arsenal players, take note!

 

[Makingtrax]

Apart from the first 5 minutes the lads have played really well. Better pressing and quicker to the ball.

Arteta > Lampard

 

[kraphtous]

Disappointed not to have scored again with all this pressure, let’s hope we can keep up.

 

[GDeep™]

I feel we should be ahead

 

[A_G]

Caballero is excellent on penalties, not even worth thinking about them

He missed against Liverpool in the CC this season

Worth noting that Emi got nowhere near any of Liverpool's

 

[krengon]

We can win this!!

Been the better team last 20 min

 

[Hunta]

I’m sat in a puddle of my own filth.

Hate finals.

 

[GDeep™]

Pepe usually grows into games tbf. Skinny guys can’t do it from the start, why I stay away from them

 

[Jasard]

Relieved we got in to the game.

 

[bojed]

Bring on Saka for Bellerin. I trust a soggy lentil more than that vegan chip.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Good recovery well in control now. Hopefully Halftime doesn't shift momentum.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

We’re playing so much better now! Come on guysssssss 2nd half we can do this!
My rosé is smackingggg

 

[NieThePiet]

good half, especially after the poor start.

don't know what's your problem with holding. of course he isn't elite, but he won some important duels so far and doing a solid work.

 

[Wiltord's left boot]

Why does the ball keep falling to Holding on the edge of the box ffs

 

[Sniper Mik]

Laca should have buried that freekick. The way we are pressing we look like we'll gas out after 60 minutes

 

[KrissKringle]

He gets pushed off the ball way too easily. Which is strange to me, since he has a similar body type to Mahrez and the latter doesn't have that problem.

I guess it has to do with stability. If you don't have a naturally sound stability, you can train to get better, but it's still not going to be 100% effective.

I remember reading Roy's comments on Zaha diving and he said that he runs with the ball at such a great speed that he's easily taken down and when you see the stuff he's doing against players, it's easy to see how that comes to be.

What disappoints me is that in all the time he's been here he hasn't done anything to improve his upper body. Same goes for Ceballos. He looks like a somali pirate from the waist up.
