UEL Round of 16 1st Leg: Olympiakos v Arsenal | Thursday, March 11 | KO: 20:00 UTC | BT Sport

[CaseUteinberger]

El neny, Party should be our starting eleven. They compliment each other well. Both aren't potato brains like xhaka a d ceballos

I actually wouldn't mind seeing them together. Both are 10 times the athletes of Xhaka and Ceballos. At least both Elneny and Partey can turn and run with the ball. Xhaka cannot turn and run, Ceballos can turn but cannot run...

Ah man, this is hilarious.

You actually think having a go at a username on an anonymous forum means you're somehow winning

Even my 5 year old would have something better up her sleeve

Winning what?
Who said I want to do better?
Do you think I care about any of this DUFFMAN?

 

[panathinaikos_athens]

i m glad i had predicted the score, 1-2 or 1-3, thnk you Arsenal!

 

[GDeep™]

I'm hoping not, he looked, pre injury, like a player who would have a great career with us. Maybe it's changed now. Maybe Arteta doesn't fancy him, like Nelson.

Arteta is only playing guys he can trust to perform. He’s not developing anyone in the team atm.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

I do support the team, I just can't help how I feel. I'm glad we won, just enjoyed none of that.

I think you need a break.

Should I plan some glazier hiking and puffing hunting trip for you here in Iceland?

You will feel so refreshed after being with me for 16 hours on Vatnajökull, hiking and climbing in the ice, looking into ice caves, and then to top it end the day in hot-tub with me with ice-cold beers and smoked puffin on a stick!

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Will Martinelli ever wear an Arsenal jersey again?

I was told arteta is just managing him though. What do I know!

 

[GDeep™]

We won away from home.

1-3.

Just for the lads here who think we lost.

Enjoy the win mate.

 

[Mo Britain]

This win is dedicated to all moaners in this site, also to the Panathinaikos fans, thank you Arsenal, thank you Arsenal players, Arteta did also well tonight

Good to see the Greeks and the Romans agreeing on something but we did all we could to get Olympiakos something from this game. Only just failed.

 

[Shamrockian_gooner]

When we play at pace we look dangerous. If we can look dangerous when we slow it down, we'll win a lot more games. Got to stop making stupid defensive mistakes.

Better stop that before Chief Inspector @say yes gets his dislike button out!

He does need a break, been doing non stop hours at the circus. His little knees must be knackered.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Arteta will be blamed for this result again but how does a player make such a decision? This is not playing out of danger. It is pure

It is called good decision making under pressure. These simple issue has cost the team a lot this season. It’s not down to only how the manager wants you to play. You have to make the decisions that don’t endanger the team. This is a succinct display of efficient decision making.

My badly made point is that not every player can do that. If you have a suspect technique, limited awareness, fold when pressed and have no idea what to do when the ball reaches you then you will fail. Such a player can't make a good decision. They can only panic and shouldn't be helped into that position. Bypass them.

serious ammo for @Trilly

 

[kash2]

just because they scored only one goal doeent mean we only giftwrapped one opportunity for them.. its not a very convincing team setup, organisation and tactics

 

[say yes]

Would’ve avoided a few goals if we just smashed it row Z.

These plumbers have offered nothing else ffs.

The thing with playing out from the back is that you notice the mistakes much more because they're so damaging.

But you actually concede more goals in the long-run (and score fewer) kicking it long, because the opponent wins the ball a good % of the time and you're not in a great poisition whoever wins the header.

 

[DUFFMAN]

You seem heavily invested and aggrieved by my username???

I want to discuss the game so can you move on or do you want to discuss DUFFMAN?

EDIT- winning in having a go at a posters username.

I know, I know it sounds ridiculous but...

 

[Gooner416]

Still an inherent issue.

Yes but this opponent isn't that good. We would have got the ball back. We have to learn to read situations.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Ahhhh you love to see it.

Anyone who watched the game could see that but you might want to relax with the posting of factual statistics before DCI @say yes comes over with his dislike baton.
