Fuck me in the goat ass. That was dire.
Rangers would beat us if we played like this. Probably better than Benfica right now.
Drink this in fellas, we got a 2nd leg of this.
Iâm 99% sure weâre getting through, even if the second leg is that lethargic thereâs no way we donât score a couple against this team. We shouldâve had 4 and werenât that great.
Karma for your loooool about us conceding 2-2 you fucker
I thought 6/10 performances against a well organised Benfica defence.
Shame Auba fluffed his chances. Tie looks close to 50:50 to me. Need a great performance in Athens to progress now.
Iâd eat my hat if we win this cup this time around. Just not all that good at the moment.
Cedric will take over when Kieran is fully fit. Cedric aint no worldbeater but Bellend is Championship level sadly.
Big opportunity missed tonight .
We should be out of sight at least 2-3 goals clear .
This team would be unbeatable if they stopped this stupid and unnecessary passing back and sideways . As soon as we look to get forward quickly the other team goes in to panic . Teams canât handle pace
Have we lost ability to shoot ? The times we get to the away box and all it wants is someone to shoot but oh no , letâs pass it back and sideways and back again , then attacking momentum has gone . Itâs the same evening game .
1-1 is a pretty meh result but a 1-0 loss would have been absolute disaster.
All comes down to next Thursday night now as our season depends on it, really hope we donât bottle it.
Shouldâve scored a couple as the chances were there.
Making the 2nd leg more nervy than it should be, but we should have enough to score more than them in the next match and win it outright.
We still should have enough to progress given we got the score draw, if we go out to Benfica itâll look horrible for Arteta.
Very poor result, absolutely no advantage in the second leg either with the game being played in Greece.
Really shows the level weâre at at the moment
He arguably should be sacked right then and there if we do. I know that sounds harsh but if youâve been knocked out of the round of 32 two years in a row in what is the most important competition for this club at the moment, you donât have much of a leg to stand on. And particularly when the two guys before you got the club to the semifinals and final respectively. Thankfully I donât think thatâll happen.
Looking at the metrics aside from the penalty Benfica created fuck all, we really should be able to win the 2nd leg and progress.
Was it a clear pen? The replay didnt show it in super slow so at times it looked like it hit ESRs head.
He didnt complain at all tho so i guess he knew it hit his hand.
What a dodgy flukey way to concede a pen tho.
Itâs not like we all didnât expect it given the way the team was playing. Everyone knew if we didnât score they would get a fluke goal from a random set piece.
Lets be honest Benfica created fack all. There only dangerous moments came from our mistakes.
Had Auba not decided to be smoked as f everyone would call this cruise controle.
Disappointing performance.
Thought Ădegaard was sensational loved the peice BT done on him in the full time analysis.
Saka also was top notch. Great goal from him
Hope we perform better next week
Just seen the highlights, I do feel if we create those same opportunities next week weâre likely to score a couple. On a different day Auba has a brace.
