Europa League

[Wymsey]

So, Athletico Madrid have only conceded 4 goals at home in La Liga this season whilst Arsenal have failed to pick up a single point away in the PL this year.

 

The return leg could well be a bashing for the latter?..

I think Arsenal can go away and score, but I think Atleti will have the quality to win on the night.

 

It was an opportunity missed by Arsenal tonight without doubt.

Only time I want arsenal to win is against spurs and in Europe and they just love ****ing me over 

Why the hate for Griezman?

 

I absolutely love his celebrations, proper wind up merchant!

Fair enough, but not something I would personally hate him for.

some of that atleti defending was very similar to some game this time last year when they came to england an got a 1-1 draw despite having about one half chance and on another day they would’ve conceded 8. that can’t be a coincidence. reckon 95% of their training just involves how to get in the way of a shot heading towards the top corner.

I hate Arsenal but I hate Diego Simeone more

[Leicester_Loyal]

Welbeck is genuinely awful. The amount of times he got into great crossing positions, all it needed was a driven ball across the box for a chance to score, but no, every single time he just turned back and passed to Monreal. Absolutely shocking player, why Wenger persists with him is beyond me as he is one of the players who doesn't deserve to be there.

 

As for Mustafi and Kos, what were they doing for that second goal?? Ozil, also nowhere to be seen.

There's a few reasons really. Last year being a prime example. 

 

I also don't think he's as good as he's made out to be.

Watching the highlights from last night and I'm so glad the ref sent off that twat Simeone. 

 

Can't believe he got away with what he did when we were at their place and instead of sending him off the joke of the ref sent off our sports scientist for handing out gels!

Quite fitting really that they've bottled it massively through horrendous defending. Last night symbolised everything they've become under Wenger towards the end of his tenure.

Diego Costa waltzing through that parody of an Arsenal back four.

 

EDIT: And that's Koscielny probably out for the World Cup.

Absolute disaster that for Arsenal 

 

[foxes21]

Danny Simpson is better at crossing than Bellerin 

[Unabomber]

Do away goals count 

[Tuna]

Terrible time to concede.

[MC Prussian]

Arsenal bottling it for Arsène.

 

Been the better team in an entertaining match, but it's Atlético who just are more clinical.

 

1-0 Diego Costa, and that just before half-time.

That Arsenal defense.

wouldn't class it 'bottling' considering Atletico's record at home. Only conceded 4 in the league there and haven't conceded since January at home.

 

If anything, they 'bottled' it in the first leg with the amount of chances they had.

The game today's been much more open so far, Arsenal have had more space in the Atlético half and probably a few more chances up front. Just don't possess that one striker to put them away.

[MC Prussian]

Oh, dear.

 

Marseille have given away a 2-0 lead. Salzburg 2-0 up now in the return fixture.

[the fox]

Costa is just great. 

[StanSP]

Rafa Nadal there? Thought he was a Real Madrid fan  

[Tuna]

Looks like Arsenal are going to lose to Atletico with the same aggregate score as we did.

[purpleronnie]

I wonder what the record is between la liga and Premiership teams over the past 10 years, it feels like the Spanish would dominate.

[AjcW]

Might be unpopular opinion but I ****ing love watching Atletico play.

 

Load of bollocks that Simeone is too defensive, he’d be an asset to the Premier League, can’t believe no one has got him yet. Arsenal should be breaking the ****ing bank!
