UEL SF 1st Leg: Arsenal v Atletico Madrid | April 26, 2018 20:05 BST | BT Sport

Can't give up now. The players will give a good account of themselves in the next leg. Have to believe or what's the point?

Tie is looking good , only reason people don't think so is they've psyched themselves out .

 

[Brown Gooner]

We missed so many chances.

In that regard, this game was like a repeat of Bayern against Real last night. Somehow the Spanish **** always prevail!!

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

We might score a goal in Madrid, but getting back with a clean sheet? Against Costa and Griezmann up front?
I've seen too many of our away games this season to be optimistic, at all.

Sorry but I think that's it with the EL.

 

[TheLawOfDiQ]

1-0 was still a bad result, makes little difference in Madrid. We needed and should of taken at least a 3-0 there with 10 ****ing men.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Yeah I have a hard time blaming the defense for everything when they only gave up one goal. We should be scoring a lot more given the chances we created. Atletico are hard to break down but we managed to do so and should have capitalized more.

 

[Hunta]

We can score over there but we’ll concede at least a couple.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

The players gave absolutely everything. Must be so disappointed

 

[TakeChillPill]

Should've won 3-0 if it weren't for Oblaks heroics, world class keeper!

But much rather have 1-1 then 1-0 as Jury says we don't have a hope in hell in defending a 1-0 lead.

We play best when we're underdogs. Don't have my hopes up but there is always a chance.

Kos and Mustafi are like the chuckle brothers, disgusting defenders.

Two new cbs and a keeper next season pls.

 

[krengon]

Monreal and Mustafi both class A spastics here. None of them are alive to the run, both of them are miles away from Kos and both aren't alive to drop. As useful as being in row X and ****ing Y

There's literally only one Atletico player in our half, forget the offside, why were the gaps between them so large.. None of that would have mattered if Koscielny had dealt with an easy situation though.

 

[rich 1990]

We have to learn to kill the game in these kind of ties.

Yes and I need to learn to kill our cbs.

 

[Malky]

not to forget, that next week they'll also have Costa involved. Fanfuckingtastic!

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Wow. What a game !

The result hurts as **** but I'm really proud of each player that represented the shirt today as this was one of our best games we ever played at the emirates.
There's not one player who didn't play his heart out and actually, I cant help but to say that everyone played amazing.

Koscielny was so so unlucky before the goal, then mustafi as well, even almost blocking the shot. I mean come on, we deserved this.

 

[KrissKringle]

People saying we're still in it, have you watched Atletico at home this season? You don't score against them, and we'll need to score 2 or 3 because we're not capable of keeping clean sheets.

We can score if we play fast and direct football. What we need to worry about more is not conceding more easy goals.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I don't understand why kosh tried to clear the ball where he was off balance just keep on with him

 

[Ashybashy86]

Spot on.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Pathetic. Good luck, Enrique.

 

[Rex Stone]

So ****ing frustrating

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Tie is looking good , only reason people don't think so is they've psyched themselves out .

It's true, its all still there to play for. Feels worse because with the 10 men and the chances we created it could be better. But end of the day it's half way through and it's tied (yes away goals are worth more but we haven't had a chance to get one of our own yet).

 

[Goonerozil33]

Yeah but I mean that was just a general Welbeck **** up, I do think the ball traveled way to far after they regained possession for us to lay the blame at his feet.

We were leading and he did not need to do that. It was not like some opening he had to drive into. And then monreal screwed up. Koscielny did well playing offside trap and then was unlucky with that in the enr

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Atleti are an outstanding defensive unit. 10 men suited them more if anything. Even free scoring Liverpool would’ve struggled tonight.

Laca has given their defence something to think about. They will have sleepless nights. Even if they score our game plan doesn’t change. It’s still up for grabs boyos.
