Xhaka's quickest way of moving from point A to B is to slide tackle.

Xhaka has had so many atrocious passes this game. He barely looks like a footballer next to Ceballos

Gazza M

job done i guess. we were a bit rubbish today though. benfica were poor and there for the taking.

Claudius

What a waste of my evening.

Qwiss

We should win the second leg, we wasted a lot of chances tonight

We gonna get walloped at the weekend aren't we?

They're tired.

A score draw is acceptable given that we are away from home. Benfica is always pretty strong at home.

Yeah seems like it.

What a disappointing second half. Shame, we played some good stuff in the first.

City are winning 3-0 at least on Sunday.

Do we have the away goal after tonight?

Certainly handicapped. Should have rotated. Saka and Smith Rowe have been on fumes. Did you have a look at ESR when he was coming off? Like he'd fallen asleep in a hot spring for two hours.

Asterix

So that was a little bit pedestrian. We should have wrapped it up though. Auba was a bit off his game.

I'm a little surprised at the team selection tonight, and a bit worried for us on Sunday against Man City. If Arteta thinks this is his best XI and puts it out again we look tired. With City, Benfica and Leicester in the next 10 days there are going to be some very tired legs out there.

We have an away goal.

I think we are saving ourselves for City. We will run much harder in that game

Acceptable result. We are unbeatable at sweet home Athens

Genuinely one of his worst performances. When he wasn’t misplacing passes he was passing it back after walking, no strolling with the ball. Seemed like he was trying to kill the pace of the game.

We controlled the game and could have won 2 or 3. Not sure what’s up with these guys tonight, almost everyone bar Dani and Odegaard looked like they’d smoked a joint in the hotel pre game.

banduan

had 2 clear chances. We were way too casual otherwise.

Cmon lads you can't need to get screamed into gear every single time.

Claudius

I would rest ESR against City. And play Tierney.

Rohit

Watching Luiz, Gabriel, Xhaka and Leno pass the ball amongst themselves after pretending to do something positive with it everytime might just be the most infuriating Arsenal thing I can think of in a long long time.

Jed

Love how Arteta still managed to sneak Willian on at the end there. He just can’t help himself. 😆
