would Mik take a draw right now do we think?
Who are the dangerous players for Porto? Nobody stands out. Taremi is decent.
Literally speaking.Pepe.
So you're saying Porto is gonna tonk us?Hmmm,
6-0
5-0
4-0 makes sense!
Disgraceful is what it is.14 years since we won a knock out tie in the CL, unbelievably poor in europe. If the PL and you tube fan culture wasn't so big, we wouldn't have any fans under 25.
Has he drawn blood? Yeah that’s a double minor. 4:00 in the box.
I have to respect Pepe tbf. The lad is 40 years old and he’s still playing at the top level however he’s a ticking time bomb. This was two months ago vs Sporting:
Fortunately we’ll have the second leg at home, a big advantage in this kind of tie, but we should be winning and certainly not losing this one.I hope we stand up to the physical test. Lens outran and outfought us in the group stage game even though we were a far better team than them.
That awareness is something else lolCould be curtains for our kindergarten class here with Pepe on full thuggery mode.
I’d take a clean sheet and no injuries - thanks.
If they make it through the tie without any humiliation, I'll be satisfied.
It's sad, but it's probably what goes through the minds of most Porto fans.
SC will strengthen the midfield, as always.
I bet on Grujic, Varela, Nico and Pepê with Eva and Galeno up front.
Hope we don't get humiliated in the tie.
It's going to be a disaster, even though we always play better in the Champions League. Arsenal have a great team and our holes are huge. No high hopes sincerely. May it be better next year, if we don't even make it to the Champions League.
I will be extremely surprised by anything that is not a defeat.
Only if the football gods want to make a joke do we get something more than a more or less expressive natural defeat. But as Arsenal should come to try something more than defending, it may be that the footballing gods remember to give an avenue for Galeno or Francisco to explore.
Obviously, I don't expect anything more than a defeat. That it is not expressive, that is all I ask. The current moment and bewilderment of our team cannot realistically dream of more. And anyone who says otherwise will be lying to appear to be "more Porto" than the others.
It's praying to the gods of football.
It really isn't. The league doesn't have Real Madrid, Atletico, PSG, Milan Clubs, etc. It has utter dross like West Ham and Burnley.Prob more chance of winning UCL than the league IMO.
In UCL can get away with a mistake or two as its over two legs.
In the league, there is zero room for error now.
You absolutely can have an off-day. And turn it around in the second leg. This has happened more times than I can remember!It really isn't. The league doesn't have Real Madrid, Atletico, PSG, Milan Clubs, etc. It has utter dross like West Ham and Burnley.
These are great teams. Not to be underestimated at all. There's a reason we've never won the champions league. It's very competitive. It's not a competition you rotate for. It's not a competition you can have an offday.
Not for Arsenal.You absolutely can have an off-day. And turn it around in the second leg. This has happened more times than I can remember!
