ffs the doom and gloom is fucking ridiculous here sometimes.
Chelsea are nothing special. Frankfurt had speedy forwards that would of given our defence nightmares.
Agree with all the above. I only saw extra-time (obvs), but Frankfurt looked a really decent side. Confident, fast paced attacking football, and I could easily see them beating us in the final.
Only concern is, as others have mentioned, is that we don't seem to beat English teams in Europe. Chelsea (2004), Liverpool (2008) and Man Utd (2009) instantly spring to mind.
That said, it's nice to finally get one over on Valencia. Those CL eliminations in 2001 and 2003 left a really bad taste. It may have taken 16 years, but we finally got our own back.
Also, this is Emery's fourth Europa final in six years, so I think he has to be a factor in the final. It's not by luck, and he seems to know what he's doing in the comp. I'm keeping the faith
Also, love how Wenger got us to 2 European finals in 22 years, and Emery has got us to 1 European final in 1 year
