UEL SF 2nd Leg: Valencia (1) v Arsenal (3) | May 9, 2019 20:00 BST | BT Sport

We score the 1st goal, make it 4-1 it will probably be virtually impossible for them to go through & then no matter what the end up result is we should be able to get through on aggregate. The 1st goal is vital though.

It’s us remember. We have the skillset to go 2-0 up and still not get through.

My thinking too. We need to hit early and then keep them at bay.

My guess is that the players are going to be very disappointed with themselves. They've known for a while now they need a result.

 

[tap-in]

one word. Hazard. If hazard plays, hard to see them lose

He's a great player but he cant do it alone. I do think they'll get to the final though and tbh I don't care, as long as we are there too!

 

[Aussie_gunner123]

if we score early, between 10-20 minutes in, I'd be more then happy for us just to sit back & just attack on the counter. That would no doubt put pressure on Valencia to just go all out & attack so we'd probably have to do a lot of defending then. I'd say we will start on the attack though & fast paced to put them under pressure try & score early.

If we were to win the EL, we'd be seeded in pot 1 in the CL.

 

[HollandGooner]

I just hope Chelsea will turn off against Frankfurt, and we need to play a patient game this is our last hope no reason to not show up.

At least we won't get Bayern in the knock-out rounds again... cause we'll be out.

 

[turkish gooner]

if we lose this one and eliminated,

team must come back to London via highway

its around 1.827 km and takes 18 hours..

deal with it u bottlers?

Source on that ?

I think Pot 1 is from the champions of each league and the last CL winner (if they didn't win the league in last season)




Edit: you're correct
https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-league-draw-clubs-pots-format-when-happening

Pot one consists of the holders (Real Madrid), the Europa League winners (Atlético Madrid) and the champions of the six highest-ranked nations. Pots two to four are determined by the club coefficient rankings.

...and Giroud burying a winning header deep into injury time, breaking AM down.

No no no. It's even in the 88th minute...then Giroud rips off his Chelski shirt to reveal his Arsenal shirt...Rambo, watching in the stands, rips off his suit to reveal his #8 shirt, runs onto the pitch, heads a Giroud cross for the winner just like in the FA Cup.

We can dream.

I hope our players were watching the Liverpool/Barcelona game tonight and see what can happen. they need to show up from the first second and play like the game is on a knife edge, and totally forget the 3-1 lead. Need to attack, and not defend the lead.

Quite frankly, they could watch a replay of the game in the changing room just prior to kick off and still repeat the same mistakes a few minutes later.

Somewhere inside my head this scenario has been played several times. Goal came from Mustafi's blunder ofc

 

[VancouverCanuck]

Maybe it’s a false sense of security . But I feel confident about this.

 

[Mohamed7]

Valencia was rubbish at the Emirates and if they play anything close to that I can only see score going up.

We will be save. Either 1-1 or 1-2 for us.

 

[ptrcopp]

Not at all? I love that. Here in Holland media uses it to stir up trouble, bring out the yer da crew, everything for the clicks. +1 for England!

I remember a couple of seasons it was spoke about at the beginning of one season. I think it may have been 2014 World Cup as, IIRC, many players delayed it until after the World Cup which meant it crept into the beginning of the PL season. I may be wrong.

But I don’t remember it being seen as negative they were even doing it, just reporting on the fact of what some do and don’t do.

I’m more worried about getting through and then having Chelsea ruin our Champions League hopes. That followed by a Sp**s vs Liverpool Champions League final three days later could be the worst week in recent memory.
