but doozi played 90 then and 0 now.Ramsey played in the second half at Everton. Look at the first minute of each game and it tells you how they were going to pan out. Even when players weren't directly involved last night they were closing down spaces, players and moving with intent. Sunday they were ambling about, standing off and waiting to see what the opposition did.
and the referee..unlike that ****ass turd referee in the Everton gameYou have to give their keeper some credit.
I do not subscribe to the notion that he is a liability and clearly neither does Emery.but doozi played 90 then and 0 now.
Yes that is fair but both our strikers missed sitters and took too many touches on about 4 occasions each. Not good enough.You have to give their keeper some credit.
Both of them fluffed easy chances. I was fuming. They looked like the last ten years of bad Danny Welbeck misses rolled into a compilation tape. Feck me it was atrocious! Laca missing with his left. PEA's weird little pansy chip shot. Poor touches. Horrible positioning. PEA not going in for a header and being pushed over by a fart like wind. Pathetic. I was not impressed. We had like 17 or 18 clear cut chances that we did not finish. We could have been wrapped up at 4-0 within the first 30 minutes.You mean 10-0? But yeah, what was that Auba chip shot near post for example? I mean that one you should strike up hard so it goes through the keeper no matter what he tries.

Maybe they know something about the referee that we don't? Man for man we are clearly superior. There might be 3 of their players who could get into our team?I find it interesting how Napoli are confident of turning things around. They genuinely believe they are superior.
I thought Ramsey was our best player regardless. Several other times he made runs which nobody saw. Worked his socks off for the goal and put in several worthy tackles.Thought Özil had a good game. Can see he’s getting frustrated though. Several times he gave the ball to Kolasinac and then ran into an open space to get the ball back and Kola either didn’t look or turned away with the ball. Once Özil raised his hands in frustration.
When Iwobi came on for him he’s all energy but no finesse around the box, just like Kola.
Özil and Ramsey together with their one twos looked class in a class, such a shame Ramsey missed that one shot, otherwise he’d have been our best player, although Torreira also shone through with an excellent game.
Yes, that is it. If we concede 3 away from home I'll be bleak and we have every chance of conceding 3 away without scoringThis win felt like one of those when you're frustrated after a win. We missed so many clear goalscoring chances, that I really hope we don't get to rue them when a energetic home crowd pushes Napoli forward in second leg.
And if our misses weren’t bizarre enough, they missed some ridiculous chances as well. It was a strange match when you see professionals miss so many easy chances. These guys are paid a fortune for their ability.This win felt like one of those when you're frustrated after a win.

They are quite strong at thier ground they outplayed Liverpool when in CL. But seeing we got very good advantage a goal there should be enoughI find it interesting how Napoli are confident of turning things around. They genuinely believe they are superior.

I'm confident we'll score away, 2-0 should be enough to go there with but you never know with Arsenal, especially away.
Despite the good result, I'm not entirely happy with this game.
I thought we looked vulnerable to through balls into space, despite playing a back three. Honestly, I get that it is our current best formation, but I sincerely hope we get a solid LB and CB and go back to a 4-3-3 variant next season.
I thought our technical ability was relatively poor. Looking at the Ajax game the day before I see a squad that is much more comfortable to pass to players under pressure. Saw so many sloppy first touches or passes, which I'm not used to as an Arsenal fan. At the same time we did provide some moments of technical brilliance and beautiful passing movements, so they are capable of it, it's just highly inconsistent.
And our attacking play is mediocre. It has been in a lot of games this season, so I'm actually quite surprised how many goals we have scored given that we have looked rather toothless in many games. Kolasinac, Auba, and Laca really should have done a lot better.
Anyways, we have a good position for the return match, should be able to get to the next round quite comfortably.
