Playing a Uefa Cup second round first leg tie in an empty ground in Rome against a Portuguese team is absolutely everything that epitomises Wanker's Arsenal legacy.

Benfica looking for the nil nil and then fuck us over on away goals in Athens.

It will be criminal if we don’t win this by a couple of goals :banghead:

Not sure what's up with Auba and Saka on the off-sides :?

Are we still supposed to be careful what we wish for? I'm not sure how the media are telling us to feel these days.

You are too kind - they are absolute dogshite and we, tonight, are no better :oops: :oops:

Too many touches from leno and the back 4 is allowing their defence to push up and catch our numpties offside again and again.

One absolutely sublime pass aside, odegaard isnt in the game enough and even from that pass the ball was pulled back to him on edge of area and instead of shooting he went sidewards, and next thing we were back in midfield again :roll:

Two centre midfielders are shit - move odegaard into the 8, move smith-rowe to the 10, move auba onto the wing, and bring laca on
