Europa League 2017/18

Arsenal conceded 3 to CSKA over two legs, imagine what Greizmann could do to their defence.

Atletico don't concede goals like that, they've let in 15 goals all season in La Liga and have the best defensive record, they're stingy and they have experience in how to negotiate Europe, Arsenal always struggle against defensively organised teams as well so I don't know where the goals will come from.

On paper it seems like that but this Arsenal team is so off the cuff and unpredictable.

Wenger doesn't do tactics but sometimes that can be to their advantage. When in full flow their fluidity of movement is difficult for any team to stop at the Emirates.

Because of how Wenger wants his teams to play, with freedom and improvisation, a confident Arsenal is a different animal. The problem with them is that they're so streaky during the season because there's no consistent tactical structure so when the confidence is low they're really lost.

This is why they tend to do well when the pressure is off too, because it allows their players to play with more freedom. To be fair to them they're actually a good team to watch for a neutral because any time they play the score could be anything.

Nah, can't see it but opinions and all that.

I don't understand the 'they play well when the pressure is off' phrase either, a semi final against a tough opponent is the very definition of being under pressure.

I think it's more in the sense that everyone is expecting them to get hammered. I think Atletico will find it tough at the Emirates and the game will be won or lost in Spain.

He was very wasteful last night. Chances and possession

 

[riggi]

Arsenal won't get past Atletico over 2 legs, 1 off final maybe but not 2

Which means they will.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Arse have won 7 on the spin.

Against CSKA x2, Soton, Stoke, AC Milan x2 and Watford. Some tough games there - not.

They have lost 8 times in 2018.
Brighton, Man City X 2, Ostersunds, Tottenham, Swansea, Bournemouth and Forest.

They didn’t win last night

 

[TheChosenOne]

They didn’t win last night

Thanks BC, pleased to be corrected.

 

[Monkey boy]

Expecting Wilshere to be all over Koke tonight

 

[haxman]

For fuck sake, Atletico.

 

[Shadydan]

LMAO are you kidding me

 

[ardiles]

Harsh on the sending off so early in the game.

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

Referee sorting out his retirement tonight, game is corrupt.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Official trying to make Michael Oliver feel better about his decision.

 

[dagraham]

Oh what a surprise. These ***** could fall into a bucket of shit and come up smelling of roses.

How anyone can hate other teams more than them is beyond me.

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

LOLZ

 

[gushayes11]

Ref losing it.

 

[jonathanhotspur]

Simeone sent off for his daft hairdo.

 

[ardiles]

Now Simeone is sent off. Looks like the ref has something against AM

 

[SpursD22]

This ref is ruining the game. How can he send off Simeone for that?! And Vrsaljko second yellow was harsh
