UEFA Champions League R16 1st Leg (Feb 13/14 & 20/21)

I would too, but Arteta's our manager and the "killers" don't quite work. Eddie isn't the most fantastic striker in the world (as much as I'm a fan of him) but if we were set-up for a killer, he'd fare a good sight better than he currently does.

I don't know man, I don't rate Eddie as a baller at all, he's not a killer or a facilitator. Don't think the system is the problem for him, he's just a bad footballer.

When I say “It’s Porto” I don’t wanna hear complaints.

Porto is much better than Copenhagen and are match fit. This isn’t the Copenhagen that played United and Bayern. Scandinavian teams has huge disadvantage playing in February

I'm sure you don't, lots of people don't. I just don't think we're set up to carry a killer upfront. We've played much better with players who are decidedly not killers upfront. Trossard is a good finisher but you wouldn't call him a killer CF. Havertz is not a killer yet we've had our 2 best performances this calendar year with him upfront.

 

[Rasmi]

First proper look at him I've got, and I think he definitely works as an Arsenal CF in this team.

He also is young enough to alternate with Jesus and get better. Just 20.

@Synical that was a very sarcastic post

Oh sorry

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Foden with a goal and assist in the knockouts but doesn’t count because hes white or something.

Will probably work a treat for us when we appeal goals scored by other clubs we might come across...aside from Madrid or Napoli that is

 

[Mitch]

Madrid and Barcelona are no where near the quality the used to be. Would a single player in the current Madrid line up get into their starting
11 in 2014, 2010, 2006, 1997 line ups? Unlikely.

I hope we Barcelona, Madrid or the Italian teams. We would run crickets scores against these hacks.


I not even comparing the current Italian teams to those of the past as it's just cruel.

@OnlyOne are you watching zubimendi tonight?

Make my nephew an egg

Prime time Giroud would have done very well for us.

Lazio and Sociedad in the CL quarter finals, not for me. Weak and boring era.

Seriously think Sociedad could upset PSG here imo. My boy Kubo will be up for this.

Tbf Deportivo and Monaco in the semi finals one year back in the day was great to see.

Boring when it’s just the same teams again and again.
