Walcott bang

Giroud bang

Walcott bang

Alexis bang

That's how you do it

How many clubs have gone to Monaco needing to score 3 goals?

Overthinking, I know 🙂, but seriously how do we set-up and approach a game where we need to score three against a team that seldom concedes at home whilst at the same manage to time avoid conceding ourselves?

If there was a way to do that...we'd already be doing it. All we can do is hope for the back 6 to have a really good day, make no individual errors, and let the front 5 do their thing.

They've actually gotten more injuries, but Toulalan is back. That means Giroud will get a much harder task than last match, he's by far their best CB.

Kondogbia is out I think which should help us control the midfield.

QuincyAbeyie

He's a doubt, at least. Their manager said that he hopes he'll be ready.

Don't overthink the bugger

Totally agree. We're much better than they are, if we really turn up we are more than capable of thumping them.

JazzG

Some on twitter are saying that L'Equipe are reporting Kondogbia, Toulalan and Carrasco might all be out for the game.

They had a ton of injuries for the first leg and they spanked us.. and we were at home.. i wouldnt read too much into injuries

goon

Only after we bent over, pulled our shorts down and handed them to paddle to enable the spanking.

Ricky is right, in terms of ability alone there's no reason why it can't be done. We just need to be on it.

I don't know, I think there are plenty of reasons why it can't been done, not sure ignoring them is the answer to overcoming them.
Monaco are super tough to break down at home, we're at our most vulnerable when we're chasing results.
Our defence will have to be flawless tomorrow, our attacking players will have to be clinical to a degree that we haven't seen much this season.

He's played a lot as a CB this season, been a revelation.

It's the same thing when you're playing for Monaco.

Sure, there's a load of other factors to consider. But a key member of their defence is a soon to be 37 Carvalho who was an over the hill liability when he left Chelsea 5 years ago and I don't even know who his partner is. I just struggle to believe that it's not within the capability of the likes of Ozil, Sanchez, Aaron and an in from Giroud to get the better of bloody Carvalho, however simplistic that point of view may be.

Lol you and I aren't capable of overthinking it Otf.

Hmm...

Yes please.

Arshavin for fuck's sake. What a game it was. Don't think we have a chance of winning this shit or beating Monaco 3:0 but even a really convincing performance out there would create such a momentum until the rest of the season I would be quite happy.

Fuck that anyway, a FA cup title and 2nd place ahead of both wankers from Manchester is not a bad return at all. Just win the game to show them all.
