    Sorry if it has been previously answered but what do we need to go through tonight :confused:
    3-2 or win by 2 enough?

    The only winning scorelines that wouldn't put us through tonight are 1 - 0 and 2 -1. Any other win will do !

    Yep, we're 3-2 down and have to overturn that away from home.

    Not really. We just have to equal it.

    It's the exact same as being 3-2 in a 2 legged match, no?

    No. If we win 3-2 we go through, due to having a better scoring record in the league phase. Technically we'd we level on aggregate, so it goes to most goals scored then, which we are ahead on.

    Oh yeah...I was thinking extra time and pens, even though I know that's not possible in the group phase! :P

    If we come out the traps the same we kicked Utd's arse, we'll be grand. Need a goal in the first twenty minutes though.

    What channel is it on tonight?

    To save anyone the bother of watching the analysis on RTE i have given a breakdown of it

    Win = Arsenal are crap
    Draw = Arsenal are crap
    Loss = Arsenal are really crap

    Reckon we'll be getting our "not quite enough" moment in a stage early this year, probably win the match but will fall short of what's needed. Won't be too distraught, damage was done in the first two games, just going to enjoy the match.

    I will miss the first 15-20 mins coming come from work. I fully expect us to have scored 2 goals by the time I get in the door.

    Plus something about Ozil not showing up.

    If Arsenal lose he'll have looked disinterested.

    I actually have a good feeling about tonight's game.
    The Greeks might not be used to the mindset of " a draw or 2-1 loss will do".
    An early Arsenal goal will knock the stuffing out of them and make them very edgy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,752 ✭✭✭Mr Blobby


    All the pressure is on them to keeps us out. It'll be interesting to see if they'll risk trying to go forward.

    I see us winning but not going through.

    This is one of those years where we scrape through the groups and then go on a great run to the final.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 55,778 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    If we're to win we must also prevent them from scoring and our defence needs to stop the crappy football they've been playing with their own goals and silly defensive errors.
    Right into them from the off tonight and scare the s**t out of them.
    I want a fighting display win or lose.

    This is the camp I am in, if we go through great but if we don't have a beer and enjoy 90 minutes of football.

    Screw the defence. We just have to go all out for goals. We only need one more than them if it becomes a goal-fest.

    That sort of mentality Is what will cost us tonight If It's the one the players adopt.

    United's defence was their undoing last night though.
