UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [4th - 6th May 2021]

Such a poor game. The number of times Arsenal have had a great break opportunity only to get into the final third and turn around and let Villarreal get back.

 

[Grumps82]

We lack movement. Every single bloody game people are static, where are the runs in behind, the movement to create triangles. Everyone just walks aroung

 

[CliffyG]

Yep throw more attackers on with no structure. That'll work...

 

[omnomnom]

Arsenal have created nothing, not even sure Aubameyang has touched the ball more than about twice, half the Arsenal team look like they can't even run anymore and yet with just 20 min to go Arteta has made just one change, try something else, it is not working!

13 times. Not slots coming from the midfield tho

 

[explicit4u]

Baffling how far we've fallen since the start of the season, we were good at pressing and fast on the break but both have disappeared. If we get knocked out here it's hard to see how Arteta survives.

 

[Grumps82]

I mean to be honest we dont deserve Champions League football in the slightest, we dont deserve to be playing Europes elite whatsoever. Mid table mediocrity and thats exactly what we are. If we do manage a result tonight and we do manage a result in the final we are the jammiest bunch ever.

 

[Grumps82]

Willian is on. fml

 

[fez]

This genuinely could have gone wrong tonight.

Below mid table if Villa and Leeds have a good finish.

Roma goal looked off to me

Spent all their offside checking time on the Cavani one.

 

[Shamikebab]

Telles has been dire tonight

This genuinely could have gone wrong tonight.

Yep - DeGea has made like 6/7 saves of good quality. Really poor tie management from United.

 

[uber soldat]

Maguire and Bailly have both been poor tonight, we don't need 1 centre back in the summer we need 2.

 

[Grumps82]

Gotta love Martinelli's will and desire, him along with Tierney are top draw.

 

[mid_gen]

Telles has been dire tonight

Unusually dire tbf, he's normally pretty solid.

 

[omnomnom]

I dont think Arteta survives here if they dont score.

Arteta should have gone before now. Not sure if losing this would hasten his departure much. Reckon they will reassess at the end of the season either way.

 

[CliffyG]

Nope this just shows how inept he is at picking a proper starting 11 in a sensible formation.

 

[Grumps82]

I know we knew it before. But god the lack of crowd noises really makes thes guys out to be proper fannies like they are.
