Real Madrid v Arsenal | UCL QF 2nd Leg | Weds 16 April 8pm UK time | TNT Sports

Qwiss

Pepsi ad there with Vinicius and Grealish. Does Pepsi affect your balance?

Pepe LeFrits

Qwiss Rice has been brilliant. Ode terrible. Martinelli and Merino a bit underwhelming. Defensive end doing well

I think Merino has done ok, won a few headers and has given us a bit of a platform. Saka has been great (apart from the obvious...), Rice very good too, and the back four have done their job. Martinelli needs to be a bit braver and Odegaard and Party need to wake up.

Made it to half time 0-0. To be fair although they've had all the ball they haven't threatened the goal and we've had the chances.

Don Pacifico

USArsenal he's really not. Look at his record versus other first choice takers.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Don Pacifico he's shit at them I was fuming.

USArsenal

Don Pacifico he's really not. Look at his record versus other first choice takers.

He;s missed 2 penalties (both saved) in his career and scored 14. Might want to rethink that. Those are very solid numbers.

Kane, for example, has missed 11 and scored 88... and we think Kane is a pretty good pen taker.. Exact same ratio.

Man this is stressy

Don't know if he has it in him to stand out in games like these, unfortunately. His performance against Bayern last year was similar.

USArsenal

daredevil

I agree with this. It was a bad decision all around. Put your foot through it.

Don Pacifico

USArsenal if you execute it well, it's fine. Trouble is, it's difficult to execute, which is why you get Saka hitting it to the side. Again, a more confident penalty taker scores that.

flobaba

daredevil so he can't make 5 yard passes because he is "injured"?

swider

flobaba
He can run just fine, as if he was in duracell commercial actually, but he cannot execute a 5 yards pass if there is an opponent anywhere near the ball, and it's been like that since the beginning of the season.

daredevil

flobaba

It's the fact that he's struggling so badly at doing the things he excelled at which gives me pause for thought.

Mirth

daredevil If you're going to chip one of the best goalkeepers in the world, this is the level your penalty needs to be at:

flobaba

Mirth Its not even that hard. I do it every time I play FIFA. Easy peasy

flobaba

daredevil think he got caught in two minds and decided on the chip late.

USArsenal

Don Pacifico

To be honest, i hate chipped pens anyway. Like i said, put your foot through it.

Gurgen

Isn’t it great to have a proper VAR? We’d be winning the league with this guy in England

MistaT

Tactics -- he misplaced more than one.

He sold Saka short on a pass earlier in the box too.

Don Pacifico

USArsenal if you include the Euros final it's 3. So his miss rate is 20%. Kane's is 10%

Tactics

Burnwinter He has been meh on the ball, just like almost every other Arsenal player. The spotlight is on him because of that single pass IMO

CPM

Saka is just getting back from a major injury, he should not be the one taking penalties in this match.

daredevil

Tactics

Have to agree that he's been no worse than anyone else, but we look to Odegaard to keep the ball and calm us down while helping us create. He's the brain of the team and if he's sloppy, then it doesn't help the rest of the team.

Fwiw, I suspect he's carrying an injury.

flobaba

Mirth it's a good use of var though (albeit a bit too lengthy). This is where epl old boys association fails the game. You can use replay the right way. You can change your mind. So annoying what they do.
