Arsenal in CL Final....?

Post by MK Gould »

A lot of negativity on here today....but the game has finished now and we did only lose 0-1. Can we come back from that score? I think we can, but do you...?

There are already threads with comments - and they'll be the usual match thread - so lets keep this one for a gut feel vote!

Hmmm... an early goal (stating the obvious I know) is key. If we get one then I believe we can go on and win 3-1.

But, I've got this gut feeling of getting a goal in the 2nd half, then playing extra time and then winning on penalties.

COME ON ARSENAL...........

I just don't know anymore!!! Before the game, I thought we'd nick (sic) an away goal last night.

Now we are in a precarious position; The Filth will score at the Grove - the weakness of our defence dictates that... It's the timing that is vital. If the Filth score early on I'd say we are fucked - I don't think we have 3 goals in us at the moment without Arshavin (who is our only "on-fire" player at the mo).

I think if we score 2 early goals then we can certainly nick (again sic) a late winner after the Filth's inevitable away goal...

Gut feeling = not sure
Heart = YES!
Head = no... :(

Pretty much sums it up for me.

But even if we don't do it, I want to see some fight. If Wallcot and Adeybayour put in identicle (non) performances to yesterday, I will be furious.

Have we ever had a competetive penalty shoot-out at the new stadium?

Might be worth a tenner with Joe Ladbroke.....

not sure tbh,

we know we are good enough to score a couple of goals and as most on here have already said the chances are we will also concede :cry:

so im been optimistic for a change and going for a 3-1 arsenal victory :shock:

but it will be down to wenger and what tactics he will use and no more playing cesc as a support striker please as he doesnt have the speed and is wasted up there

4 4 2 please mr wenger and if you ever need any advice here it is , please sell that useless lazy *word censored* of a forward who is forever finding himself offside :banghead:

After the performance last night I find it hard to see where we can score three goals. Our midfeild was over run by anderson, carrick and fletcher if we play better then I can only see us scoring 2 at the most and I think our defence is too week to not concede.

im shocked that so many people want tickets for the 2nd leg, according to everyone on here the job is done for the munichs. This is one game when the crowd need to be the twelth man, contest every decision, would love a red card penalty!!!

we might have a high percentage of realists on this site but the one thing we all want is a successful arsenal, so we have a moan but we will still be behind the team 100%

Got a horrible feeling... can see us leading 2 - 0, cruising with Man U not even touching the ball, then them scoring in the last minute.

We will have to score 3 because Utd will score that away goal.And the players missing in action will have to turn up.
We have nothing to lose so it should be attack attack attack.If we lose so be it.But lets not go out with a whimper
