CL Quarter Final Draw: Arsenal v Bayern

Who do we want? I’m praying @Rex Stone boys Atleti preoccupy themselves with Man City. We don’t want any business with them but I’ll be honest XL Bully Mik vs XL Bully Diego would definitely be a tasty affair

They are European heavyweights and we are not. We have chance. But I don’t see us as favourites. We also need everyone fit

Bolded part is crucial.

 

[Gooner Zig]

All we have to is get to Wembley.

That's what should be in the back of the lad's minds.

This is what Gabriel and Saliba must look like to opposition fowards

Will be interesting. Think we are slight underdogs, but have good chance. They have legit striker and we don’t

But do they have a legit defence? Not entirely convinced with Upamecano and Dier in there. Even their midfield with Laimer and Goretzka is a bit meh.

It's a very nice bonus that Bayern can't get their fans to the Emirates. Kinda edges Bayern over Barcelona as an opponent because of it.

The great thing about these tougher opponents is like some have said, that it makes boys to men for the future. But also if Arsenal drops out, it's not a shock that will linger on the players minds until next season, like dropping out to Porto would have. So it's all good, very nice games coming.

AGAIN?

 

[El Duderino]

Please, by all that is holy in this universe, please, PLEASE let us go through to make sure Harry Kane goes a season without a title right after he leaves Sp**s to win titles.

It would be so ****ing funny.

 

[Tom Mix]

Lumping your life savings on Kane penalty anytime seems like the surest bet of all time.

Saved by Raya even surer.

 

[Gooner_girl14]

Too bad we're on the tougher side of the draw. Bayern aren't great this season, quite inconsistent but Kane always scores against us. I dont think we'll be suffering through 5-1 maulings though. Can't wait.

 

[Rasmi]

But do they have a legit defence? Not entirely convinced with Upamecano and Dier in there. Even their midfield with Laimer and Goretzka is a bit meh.

Dier won’t play as Kim is back. They have weakness in rb and we have weakness in lb. Rest of their defence is Kim, upamecano and Davies. That’s very strong

Also we don’t exactly have top striker, they have elite striker

 

[El Duderino]

@A_G can we sticky a picture with all of the draws?

I'd do it, but I don't know how and I'm lazy.

Definitely. Their killing intent is probably projected as such.

On the other hand, you've got Gabriel Jesus upfront with a killing aura about as threatening as wind-up Santa here.

Tets gets one moment of glory yelling "You shall not pass!!" before he's bathed in infernal light & Sir Albert of Stuivenberg rises to the occasion.

 

[El Duderino]

Threadmarking this so it makes it easier on me.

 

[Menard]

Bayern have lots of good players and are still well capable of putting us to the sword if we're not at it, but just looking at the actual performances of the two sides this season, not even the results but just eye test, I don't see how it could be argued that we aren't a better more functional team.

 

[Mohamed7]

Tuchel is counter-attack merchant. Facing Arsenal is perfect for him. Nullify them in the first leg and take our chances. Aim is to go with at least 2 goals win in the home fixture.

Then, beat him in his own game by countering at the Alliance Arena.

 

[RunTheTrap]

Where are the people who claimed the Champions League had fallen off? There are some serious heavy hitters around. Time quarter-finals look like a tasty affair.

 

[Mohamed7]

2nd leg home

No. Semis also first game home IF we get there
