How do you think this one will go? We need a goal and so have to try and go forward. But that could leave us vulnerable at the back which is what Atletico want. I don't think they'll pour forward in numbers at home. It's going to be a tight and tactical game. We have to try and score early to stand any chance and we have to be precisely 1 million times for clinical than we were in the last game. Can't see it myself but I have been surprised before, so who knows.
The only ingredient we will need is the good ol ounce of luck! If we don't get that, we aint going through!
You mean like in the first game and that we still didn't take advantage of? I reckon we should be steaming forward from minute 1. If they score it doesn't "matter". We need to score.
Interestingly Wenger has confirmed Mavraponos will be included in the squad. Its funny because Wenger clearly had nothing to do with this kid signing yet he has forced his way into the squad at such a young age. Makes you think Minislat could be integral to our success over the next few years. We need to hire manager who is willing to integrate young players into the team. Its our best chance of competing with the 'money' Clubs - particularly as it seems FFP is just a load of hot air.
A bit quiet here looking forward to the game. We outplayed them in the first leg and have a great chance of winning.
Currently at Gatwick awaiting a flight in the morning to Vancouver. Come on you Gunners. We can do this
I mentioned it after the first leg. We’re rubbish at trying to defend a 1-0 lead and as we saw with the Moscow game, going into a game with a lead sets a air of complacency. We need to go there and score. And even if they score one, we still just need to score. If we score 2 though, then it gives us a massive chance because even tonight 2-2 would take us through
Got lucky. Costa overpowered Koscielny and Monreal there. Exactly why we need proper full sized defenders. Kos is injured now too.
