We couldn't beat them when they were down to 10 men for 80mins at our place :oops: They were desperate to get away with a 1-0 and we still fucked it up :|
They will tear us a new arsehole over there..no doubt our pair of Sharon's at centre back will get fingerfucked(DB10 :D )and flung all over the place :|

Whilst I don't expect us to go through there is a glimmer of hope. Madrid being a defensive outfit may play for a nil nil. We have to score and if we do Madrid could be in trouble depending on how late a goal we get. They will have to open up and risk us getting a second on the counter. Even if Madrid do get a goal it does not change our need to get one regardless.

Lacazette is not a lone striker and will be horrendously isolated.

Wenger has had over 20 years to succeed in Europe. And he has had every year to get more and more acclimatised to it...to get better at it. And he had years where he attempted it with arguably one of the best teams assembled at AFC. Now, he is going away, with arguably one of the worst teams assembled at AFC (certainly the worst defence) against a very good manager, with a well set up side and a good record in the CL league and .......well, need I say more. Big ask!!

The team need to play out of their skins but tbh there are a lot of players in the team who cannot lift their game to the next level because what we have seen this entire season is their level. Does anybody think Mustafi, Iwobi, Xhaka can lift their game.....I don't. Can you imagine the aforementioned three in the CL :shock: :shock: :shock:

Along with the disappearance of #2025 cliche that the midget mod kept using, this place already has a different feel about it :wink: :barscarf:

And that is a poor record in comparison to Maorinho Ferguson Pep Benitez and even Roberto Di Matteo...
