UEL QF 2nd Leg: CSKA Moscow (1) v Arsenal (4) | April 12, 2018 20:05 BST | BT Sport

[Jury]

I am sick of this constant battering of Mo.... Its border line racist. We get it you guys have made up your mind. But this is boring and verybiased.

 

[krengon]

wtf does Koscielny mean with no pressure? Anything less than winning the Europa would be a failure of a season.

 

[Dammit]

When's the draw?

Tomorrow 11:00 BST.

Spot on. Especially if you consider the bias. If Sevilla or Ajax or whoever do great in the Europa League, everyone creams themselves over them. If Arsenal do it, it's just meh. I know there's different levels of expectations involved going by where fans expect Arsenal to be, but it's an international competition with decent teams involved. Getting to the finals or even winning it would be huge platform to push on next season - if through off field business Arsenal actually try to push on.

Why are you comparing us to Sevilla and Ajax

 

[Mo Britain]

I'm very chilled. I don't get angry over football mate.

And no it is not because of drugs.

I don't know what your obsession with drugs is. Maybe I'm missing something here.

It's good you're chilled because that's the best way to be when your team wins a game or gets through a tie. At the end of the day thats all that matters.

Small time Kos. Smh.

 

[BBF]

Is this the El Neny thread or what?

We were shocking, and he had a good game, fair play to him. Why would there need to be anything more said about it.

Love you too bro!

Surely there were 3 stand out players in that game. Ramsey and Welbeck to make two clinical finishes and Elneny to supply them both with precision passes. The rest was meh.

Agree with this. Elneny was poor in the first half though. His second half performance was much better. Thought Welbeck showed some nice touches before he got his goal and was much better than Lacazette. The rest were awful with Wilshere being the worst of the lot.

 

[TakeChillPill]

Elneny had a 7/10 game at very best fwiw, but this was a night when you needed someone to stand up in that split second and make the difference, and he did. That's all it was about.

Additionally it didn't help having jack as a passenger for virtually the whole game.

The Captain feels no pressure, the manager feels no pressure, it runs right through our team because win or lose they keep their jobs and play the next game.

Arsenal are the richest team in the competition, the semifinals should be the bare minimum for us tbh.

What about Atletico...on a serious note, I don't know how rich/poor they are.

I do agree on what you wrote, but haven't Arsenal just gone through to the semi finals? It was a limp game and there's a lot wrong with the team, probably mentality as the most glaring one. But still...super Atletico went through on a shallow 2:1. Marseille did show up, but Leipzig are dodgy at least. The only big wtf is Salzburg. I'm wary of a lot that happened during tonight's game, but in context the 5-3 going into the bare minimum semi finals has been done.

Pretty poor performance all around, nothing to be concerned about though. Rightly or wrongly, its very hard for the players to get up for these 2nd leg ties against poverty teams. As soon as we turned it on a bit they couldn't handle us.

Jack has been a passenger for the last 3 or 4 games yet our experienced manager keeps on starting him. We made it difficult for ourselves tonight by our approach to the game and the team selection. It happens time and time again!

 

[Mo Britain]

Atletico are serial bottlers in Europe. We just gotta make sure they bottle one more time.

 

[HBL]

Despite being a calamity on the ball in the first half, I thought Kosc had a very good game defensively. Read the game very well and made some good interceptions, Chambers also looks a lot more composed than Mustafi, should certainly be our second choice cb.

It's funny because we're no different

I agree, and I am not complaining, but again, Arsenal and Atleti are levels above other teams in the competition (at least on paper), and I would have been shocked if we hadn't made at least the semi finals. Both United & Pool reached the finals as well. I could be happy with just the semi finals another time, but our season has been really **** and only the win in the EL can save us
