I was expecting something like a 1-1 draw and then a 2-1 win or 2-1 loss away.
I don’t care about all this haven’t let a goal in at home since whenever bollocks, they haven’t had a European semi final at home since whenever either. We’re not going to turn up there like Levante on a random Saturday.
Can we have Monreal and Mertesacker for the return leg? I feel safer with a left back and a retiring but experienced lumbering giant than these two. Kolasinac should take LB.
ohh well… had to stop watching when we were up 1-0 against 10 men and thought we would do enough to put pressure on the return leg, but wtf… now completely in their favor and they have to feel jubilant after playing with 10 men for EIGHTY F*ING MINUTES and drawing with an away goal…
Couldn’t have scripted it better for us and we still contrived to concede… arggggg.
Have to admit his antics were pretty pathetic… I have wanted him at Arsenal, but his awful complaining and screaming were kind of ridiculous… the Spanish acting culture and card-waving is the worst.
Fuck this shit. This has been arsenal for the last 5 years now.
The problem is clear: with all due respect (and there are very few people like him around), and all his qualities notwithstanding, the 68 yo Wenger has become too soft, too attached to these players. There’s very little warrior spirit in them, and Wenger doesn’t have the testosterone anymore to light some fire under these pussies.
No desire, no urgency no nothing. For fucks sake.
That being said, Wenger would have been irreplaceable 20-10 years ago. You couldn’t possibly find a guy so dedicated, so long-term oriented to build this club. Unfortunately, the club has been on a negative trend for the last 5-7 years.
I want to see warriors on the pitch, fighting like they haven’t won the title in 15 years, fighting like their life depended on it. All we’re seeing is a bunch of headless chicken. Fucking hell. Grow some balls.
People like to piss on Sanchez nowadays. But in his first two seasons here, you could see that he cared, he was a fighter. He wanted to win. No wonder he didn’t gel well with the rest of the squad.
