Yup. Really strange decision. Yeah, he was a sub down because Silva had an injury but he still had Iheanacho on the bench.
Can see Arsenal struggling even more next season...Chelsea look set for Champion's League so the Europa place from the FA cup will go to the runner up or winner (ie Arsenal).
Liverpool lost though, and suddenly Man Utd can overtake them in the league if both teams win all their games.
Aha I completely forgot about Iheanacho. He was so good as well, I get it that he's not quite the skillset Pep looks for (This is a guy who sold both Samuel Eto'o and Zlatan at the peak of their powers, after all) but that does seem a weird one - Arsenal are becoming known for having a soft middle anyway, so no need to shore up midfield.
I understand that if we finish outside the top four but win the Europa League, England gets an extra spot. But if we finish fourth, does a spot pass down to 5th? Can't find the information on it. Because if that were to happen, my ideal finale would be for us to get 4th and Europa League, and Liverpool to end up 6th and miss out completely.
