IBL

Feck sake, what a joke

Pepe LeFrits

Play in 2nd gear all game and it can happen. Porto did a good job of spoiling. Let's see if they can do it at the Emirates

mdgoonah41

a team with this level of talent having 0 shots on target in 94 minutes is unacceptable. full stop

Tactics

Raya and Martinelli fuck up!!

awooga83

Arteta and the team still have it all to prove in Europe and knockout. We haven't looked great for the boat part and had a very favourable group to start with as well.

Clrnc

Raya too short for that goal but certainly can't blame him. Just poor game management overall from us.

Just a very Arteta European setup again. Poor overall and they have the 2 best chances while we have none. Can't say we deserved anything more.

Qwiss

Clrnc Just a very Arteta European setup again.

Worried even if we win the 2nd leg this will happen against stronger sides.

IBL

Now we have to score more than 1 goal which is never a given, especially with teams like this who like to waste a lot of time

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

naz I smell West Ham at home V2.

naz

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert I hope but remember this is CL. They can shut up shop and hit on counter all game

Big Willie

Typical Arsenal European knockout performance under Arteta. Just too conservative and jittery.

lorddulaarsenal

Ah be a different story at home. I’m chillaxed

goon

We should go through but these shits have the potential to be annoying defending a 1-0 lead.

I sincerely hope I’ve not spent £90 to watch us get knocked out.

Big Willie

goon I sincerely hope I’ve not spent £90 to watch us get knocked out.

Well you've got what you wanted. We didn't kill the game off in the first leg like I'd requested.

Pepe LeFrits

goon at least we have to go for it now. Arteta can't send us out with a cautious mindset. His record in knockout competitions doesn't bode well though

Clrnc

goon they didn't give us a single space whole match. Went man for man and was more physical and faster than us

Not going to be easy at all. They setup very similar to Sporting last year.

Qwiss

Martinellis pass was bad but we spent the last 5 minutes making similar passes, his was just the one we didn't defend. Bit of a bottling at the end I think.

goon

Qwiss

It was like that all night. Poor touches, loose passes, balls flying over defenders, silly fouls, poor positioning.

It’s not one player either, it was pretty much everyone at it.

lorddulaarsenal

Think Jesus is needed in the next match

Don Pacifico

lorddulaarsenal divine intervention seems a bit OTT.

daredevil

lorddulaarsenal

Missed his level raising CL performance. All of our attackers shat the bed today.

goon

Pepe LeFrits

Not necessarily. They’re going to have it in the back of their minds that if we concede 1st we will need to score 2. I think unless we score earlyish it will be a cagey match.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Pepe LeFrits

This is it. Arsenal never do it the easy way and at least now we know what to do. The problem is them being stubborn defensive cunts and countering us.

The major thing we have in our favour is that away goals don’t count anymore so this is a big plus going into this game.

Anyway, if we were going to lose any game in this little run it would be the 1st leg as it’s not fatal.

We need to be on it from min 1 though.

DiabyKungFu

Thought our build-up looked really clunky in the first half against Burnley. I think we saw the limitations of White inverting and Gabriel as central CB in the build-up today more clearly. Should still win the tie, I think.

Qwiss

goon think a lot of players who've never been in a CL knockout before were a bit nervy.
