Arsenal - Porto, Tuesday @ 20:00 UK Time.

Don Pacifico

IBL to be fair, he was pretty crud up until the goal. Comes to life in and around the penalty area but not great further up the pitch.

Clrnc

Don't want to hear anyone saying Ozil has a higher ceiling again.

Odegaard is unreal.

Don Pacifico

Clrnc playing with Jorg in midfield gives him more freedom. Playing with Havertz in midfield means he focuses on trying to control possession in the middle of the parm rather than influence the final third, where we really need him.

IBL

Anyone got a link to a replay of the goal? I didn't get to enjoy it fully due to distractions

Leo and Saka were awful honestly. Very very poor. Ode was all huff and puff for a large chunk too. That pass was exquisite

Big Willie

naz Leo and Saka were awful honestly

Whole team was tbh. Can't think of a single person who was composed on the ball bar maybe Jorginho.

IBL

naz perfect, thanks

Panda

Was just cursing Trossard and then he came up with that! 😄 We can win this. 2nd half shooting towards North Bank hoping for at least 1 🙏🏼

Clrnc

Seems like Partey is coming on soon

Don Pacifico

Clrnc really? Hope not as probably means Rice or Jorg are injured. Don't need Partey's brain farts at the back given how finely poised this tie is.

IBL

Wondering if Porto can keep up the intensity they showed in the first 45mins, expecting a lot of time wasting shenanigans from them to run down the clock second half

Just whatever you do, don't concede.

Big Willie

I'm nervy about bringing on Partey or Zinchenko now. Any rusty dodginess we can't afford. Aside from Jesus, I'd keep the same team on for the entire game.

Gurgen

Quite a pathetic performance but somehow we’re ahead. Really have to improve in the second half.

Sicario2 - Tier 1 cheers!

.....

I'm able to reply to this now as my mate's ticket appears to have been scammed and as a result I'm on my way home having missed the first half. 🤣

I know this sounds unlikely, but I am surprisingly philosophical about the whole thing. Here is a man who has watched a lot of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Don Pacifico

RocktheCasbah ah shit, sorry mate. For what it's worth, you didn't miss anything in the first 40 minutes!

RocktheCasbah

Don Pacifico yes I've heard something a bit good happened in the minute after... 😁

Tactics

We are struggling with pressing them because they are building up with their CBs moving to full back positions and are like a million miles from each other, so it takes ages for either Ode or Havertz to get to them. Normally when teams are building up the players are relatively in close proximity to each other (which makes it easier for the pressing team), I don't know where Porto got this tactics from as no other team uses it

naz

We gotta create more. Our generation so far is toothless
