Looks like Kane is out for the season, that should work in our favour

Did their form not collapse when he came back from injury?

Meh, what would work best in our favour would be us not acting like a**holes every time we have to get a bus anywhere.

Son as main goal threat actually worries me more!!

I can't be the only one surprised you didn't go with Mustafied here surely.

Careful there.

I’ve seen the exact same word used twice, aimed at a referee, in the last pages of the old thread.
Anyway it’s done now however and I don’t want anyone else being victimized.

Watching the Juve match, one of the things I miss most about Scz is his distribution. Not only is it quick, but I'd say at least 90% of the time it goes to a Juve player, regardless of the situation

I have a real feeling that this match could suit Torreira, if he's on form he could really make a difference here. Auba is fully fit again, apparently been on antibiotics for a while is why he's been benched.

I think this is on Virgin Media 2 this evening.

I'm actually dead nervous. I just want to win something in Europe, it's been ages.

Yep it is

Nuno Espirito Santo

Prediction for tonight

Cech

Sokratis Koscielny Monreal
AMN

Xhaka Ramsey

Kolasinac

Ozil

Auba Laca

Wouldn't surprise me to see Torreria come in but I also can't see Xhaka and Ramsey not playing assuming they're fit. Wouldn't shock me to see any combination of Auba, Laca, Ozil, Iwobi and Mhki as the front 3 either. Maybe he'll use Ramsey in the front 3 again? Although I really think it's him and Xhaka being the CM's that make the 3 at the back work. Maybe he'll revert to 4 at the back?

Disappointed with the starting line out last Sunday. It really showed how poor the squad is. Hoping tonight that Emery plays our best players available because last Sun I knew we’d lose before a ball was kicked. Hoping for better tonight.

KaiserGunner · 11-04-2019 6:11pm

Mikel Arteta

I’m really nervous, yet excited for tonight’s match at the same time. Would gladly take a 1 nil victory and a clean sheet tonight. Although any win would do to be fair. It’s hard to know what type of lead we will need going into the second leg, due to the poor performances away from home.

This club badly needs champions league football for next season, another season in the Europa league could be very damaging long term.

Apparently Xhaka isn’t in the squad tonight. That’s a big blow, I’m assuming it will be Torreira and Ramsey starting in the centre now.

Cech, Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal, Kolasinac, Torreira, Ramsey, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

According to Arseblog this is the starting lineup. I like that a lot. Maitland-Niles and Kolasinac will provide the width, Torreira to shield the defense to allow that attacking quartet to hopefully do their jobs. Optimistic after seeing that now.

The selected team should win a home leg.
It’s all about attitude and effort now.

Yeah. I don’t see the point of rotating for Cup games especially at this stage. Foolish imo.

Yeah there's a time and place to give Cech minutes and I don't think a Europa league QF against a good Napoli side is that time. I hope I'm wrong.

Leno's obviously better, but we wouldn't be talking about any match tonight if not for Cech in this competition.

darego · 11-04-2019 7:36pm

Mikel Arteta

that's probably our strongest lineup at the minute bar cech obv. really looking forward to the game now not having to watch mustafi and get pissed off every time i see him. we need a few goal lead going over there and no away goals for them would be nice

Bobby Baccala · 11-04-2019 8:11pm

Mikel Arteta

Torreiras up for this one. Come on Arsenal!!

keano_afc · 11-04-2019 8:18pm

He's leaving for nothing, that lad.

Arghus · 11-04-2019 8:28pm

Brendan Rodgers

Keep the pressure on them now. Arsenal need to have a big goal cushion for next week, because you know they'll need it.

tayto lover · 11-04-2019 8:30pm

Mikel Arteta

Great energy tonight and I’m not quaking when they go forward with Mustafi not on. We could seal the tie tonight.

Necro · 11-04-2019 8:32pm

Amazes me the difference between us at home and away.

Psychological, surely. We look like world beaters at home and relegation fodder away

Arghus · 11-04-2019 8:36pm

Johnathan Pearce on commentary duty, solo. Fck he's terrible.

emmetlego · 11-04-2019 8:51pm

Mikel Arteta

They analyse every Arsenal goal, looking for fouls in the build up and handballs etc. It's painful listening. Think I'd rather switch the sound down or watch it on Bein!!!

Some great moves tonight, but we need to keep the clean sheet and we will need another couple of goals to be absolutely sure. We all know the away form is diabolical!
