Win UEL Group Stage: FC Zurich 1 - 2 Arsenal | Thursday 8th, September | KO: 17:45 BST | BT Sport

We need an emphatic win to soothe the pain of losing to those ****ers in manchester.

Likes of Tierney, Vieira, ESR, Tomiyasu should come in and put these farmers to the sword.

Prediction
FC Zurich 0-3 Arsenal

 

[Entropics]

2-1 is fair, we have better quality and it showed but still played fairly poorly

Only Vieira and Xhaka looked like PL material today, even with Arteta bringing the big guns for no good reason. Tierney and Nketiah were protagonists, although hardly stellar.

Nice match from Marquinhos and Turner pretty much untested, can't blame him for failing at saving a pen. At no point did Martinelli look a level above Zurich

 

[BergMan]

Xhaka should’ve had 3 assists, set balls on the plate. my man of the match.

 

[Oxeki]

I don't like the fact that we dominate games and make it seem close ffs.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Didn’t even watch this but only winning 2-1 to Zurich una

Heard 5s and 6s pre match.

 

[Rasmi]

Stupid manager we have.

 

[avenellroad]

Would have been nice to have seen Sousa on today … hopefully gets a chance in the next one

 

[Mickey Rooney]

PSV and Bodø draw. Good news for us in terms of potentially wrapping up the group sooner.

 

[Aevi]

Marquinhos and Vieira are the biggest wins of the match, they look ready to contribute. Like what I'm seeing from those two.

 

[TriniGunner]

Arteta isn't happy.

He's right. We won but he would be concerned by our inability to be clinical and decisive in final 3rd. It's gonna cost us.

 

[NieThePiet]

We just don't want to kill games. Marquinhos looks promising, Vieira was solid in the first half.

Xhaka MOTM.

 

[Sanchez11]

Marq is upto starting imo

 

[SA Gunner]

I dont like these first team substitutions on. Arteta must stop being a coward and let the kids figure it out themselves.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

We went away and conquered foreign land, what Lizzy would have wanted

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Marquinhos and Vieira played well its important for us. Marquinhos look very good thankfully we didn't him on loan too after Pepe.

The squad is short 23 players are good number but not when you have to play every 3 days. We'll all be under stress until January.

This is it. We got the win which was important, but we got a bit of reassurance squad wise as well. They both look capable of contributing.

 

[steppenwolf]

Top of the group. Say we're top of the group...

 

[Taneruit]

We just don't want to kill games. Marquinhos looks promising, Vieira was solid in the first half.

Xhaka MOTM.

Xhaka should have really had an assist somewhere in there. Then again, we should have been much higher up in general.

Really need to be more deadly as you said.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Anything outside our best or almost our best XI seems to be a monumental downgrade, similar to last season. Once lots of changes are made we're nowhere near as good

Didn't really get that impression at all, if anything the first team tactics worked better with the second team than I expected. Issue was the same as against United, finishing our chances.

 

[BergMan]

Psv 1-1 Bodo

Good result for us
