Arteta is such a bellend isnt he

[Nalis]

The Arsenal players and style of play are actually quite likeable. 

 

Pity their fans and manager are so unbearable

[Super_horns]

Not been a penalty shoot out in the Champions league since 2016!

Will that change tonight ?

Arsenal look fairly pedestrian this evening 

liverpool and Man City loads more intensity on Sunday

 

considering that they don’t have many injuries their bench is uninspiring

How does Arteta get away with being out of his technical area every single game.

I'm not quite sure about the players. You can't change the DNA and mentality of a team so easily. Their club is still toxic from top to bottom imo and this eventually runs into the players. Havertz pushing without a reason Porto's manager isn't just a random incident.

Because the rules don't apply to certain people. He's treated like a politician.

Good penalties by Arsenal .

Held their nerve .

[Langston]

Fair play to Porto, had a go and made it a decent contest. Can’t stand Arteta but Arsenal play some lovely stuff, Odegaard is on a different planet.

Nice to see an English side get one over a team from a joke league 

[Dan LCFC]

Sickening for Porto. Genuinely think they edged that tie.

I see it the other way around, its refreshing to see a team from a 'joke league' evenly match a team from one of the richest in Europe.

After they lost to Sporting last season in the Europa league on penalties.

BVB looking amazing atm. Really entertaining.

Sancho looks like a completely different player to at United, like his first Dortmund spell. It’s almost like there’s something in that isn’t there

Comfortable at a club when he is liked and respected ?

More than that isn't it. Dortmund commit a lot of bodies forward, he gets a marauding full back to link up with, an attacking midfielder, a forward, the centre mids pushing on. There's always bodies around to play off and they all absolutely graft and run all day. 

 

United signed him and then expected him to basically play on his own. 

 

They play such shit football with such a lazy squad of prima donnas.
