UEL QF 2nd Leg: SSC Napoli (0) v. Arsenal (2) | April 18, 2019 20:00 BST | BT Sport

[Tourbillion]

Both qualify for the CL.

So five teams in the CL next season?

 

[PoleInGoal]

Agree with the away goal, but isn't 2-0 for Napoli only way to get extra time?

Yep, my bad. In that case they will need 4 and I can't see that happening

Yeah, just like City/Chelsea/Sp**s/United/Pool were in it last season.

I hope Ramsey - Xhaka - Torreira all start in our midfield

Also need Özil to provide passes on spaces left from Napoli as they look for their goals.

Leno (Cech)
AMN - Sokratis - Koscielny - Monreal
Torreira - Xhaka
Ramsey
Özil - Laca - Auba​

Let's hope we don't concede in first 20 minutes, if we do, then it will be a real struggle to maintain cohesion.

Hopefully non of our fans travelling at Naples get robbed the city is full of robbers need to be careful.

I heard there will be a big police escort to stadium but I gather you mean when they are just out and about in the city.

Yes at stadium they'll be safe but outside need to know where they'll going

 

[ThlRama]

Slightly conservative 3-5-2 for me, with the two inside midfielders covering the wide space for the wingbacks to attack, and Laca dropping back to mix things up around the midfield, COYG!

Surprised so many people are unaware about the rules regarding CL qualification. When Yanited won the EL we had five English teams in the CL.

Qwik maffs.

 

[Wryer]

Make the first few counter attacks count. We may not score, but once you get it going the opponents tend to tighten up and not press us that high. And that plays into our lead.

What if top 4 finisher wins EL? 5 teams in UCL from England?

No mate- a top four finish grants you a CL place anyway. So the fifth placed team (provided they don’t win the EL) will be in the EL next season.

Should a team finish fifth and win the Europa league, they would then join the other teams who finished in the top four and be in the Champions League next season.

Maybe this **** is a little confusing.

 

[Notorious Big]

What if top 4 finisher wins EL? 5 teams in UCL from England?

No,if we finish 4-th and win EL,than 4 teams go to CL.

3 teams will go to EL.

Watching Napoli against us last week, Juve against Ajax twice, have to say we should easily go through. These teams have 75% farmers in their line-up with 100% physique and 0% brain that are not used to getting pressed and getting attacked a lot. I want to see Emery’s three at the back, with Kolasinac and Ainsley pushed up high, Ramsey in midfield and Laca in attack. Leave Auba on the bench. Don’t let them have time on the ball, they don’t have the quality to build from the back, they will crumble and we will laugh.

 

[drippin]

Okay thanks for answers. Sounds good to me. Would surely take some fun out of Europa League trophy.

Weird that you want us to press and then have Lacazette who is not mobile and also slower than Mertesacker over Aubameyang that just scored the most pressing goal there is! :confused:

Yeah, there's a lot of weird people on here, my friend.

Laca is better at keeping the ball than Auba, and can press too, come on Hydro you can figure this out. Auba constantly losing the ball can kill you in a tight game.
