I thought Wenger got it right with the group stages last year tbh

Some of you displaying West Ham/Astra fackin’ Goo Goo levels of arrogance here, hope we don’t come unstuck. I think we’ll top the group safely enough but won’t be with 18 or even 16 points

It’s the Europa League group stages, it’s only appropriate to approach it with total confidence.

Drew 0-0 at home with Red Star last season, who to some are probably a bunch of peasant farmers

So?

I don’t know what more I can say about what is a straightforward and fairly self-evident point

I don’t really see why a 0-0 draw to Red Star means we shouldn’t be approaching today’s game (or the group stage in general) against the third best team in Ukraine with anything other than total confidence.

We didn’t get 16 or 18 points in the group stage last year, that doesn’t mean we weren’t always in total control and qualifying was never in doubt. I think most of us just expect it to be equally comfortable this time round and don’t really care if we take 18 out of 18.

While I agree that Wenger got the group stages spot on last year - about the only thing he did right tbh, I feel Emery needs as much game time as possible. Honestly our pre-season looked promising but ultimately meant fuck all as the minute we stepped on the pitch for the first game the team looked like a bunch of players who had never played together before.

Use these groups stages to iron out our technical problems and approach them with a little more freedom and versatility, hopefully through this Emery will cement his formation, decided on his favourites players and finally narrow down who he’s going to cut the fuck loose in January/summer apart from Mustafi.

This is a piss easy game for us. We aren’t farkin West Ham :grin:

After we won the first three games, easy.

No fucking messing here. 3-0 at half time, 5-0 full time.

We might actually see Torreira start, finally!

Really hope so.

Think there’s any chance at all of Smith-Rowe being involved?

Yes. Arsenal Twitter mentioned him if we want to see him tonight, I think they’d only tweet it if he actually is in the squad.
