Pepe should be playing up top here so he can try to get a goal under his belt and there’s no way in hell that Aubameyang should be on that pitch unless it’s the final 10 minutes and we need a goal.
Hell, we could even start Tyreece John-Jules here. I really don’t care about this result, we’ll get through the group stages anyway and we need to be saving Auba for the league.
Even if we lose, we just have to win 3 of our home games and get a result in the other 2 away games to top the group. And who even cares if we don’t top the group?
Don’t give a shit about the EL and Spursday nights.
In any event I’d rather go out and get blind drunk than watch the shite that Arsenal football team have become and be quaking in my boots every time we win a goal kick.
We should try and keep players fresh so if Aubameyang starts I won’t be happy, even if we lose this game we still should progress. We learnt the hard way putting lots of eggs in the Europa League basket, still fell short and it cost us games like Palace at home.
Still like this, or any, European competition and our club is at this level now so people denigrating it just sound whingy to me, sorry.
Eintracht have been asset stripped somewhat and won’t repeat their semi final showing of last season, even so this looks to be the group decider already
No plenty of big teams end up in it. It’s where we are up to.
Let’s be honest apart from a couple seasons in the CL let’s not make out we were an elite competitor.
Being honest if we would have sneaked in we wouldn’t be anywhere near ready.
90% of teams in the CL aren’t competitors, that’s no justification not to be in it. We just need a manager who knows what they are doing. Everything else is in place.
We don’t have the history to be playing this entitlement card. We haven’t been good enough for the last couple of seasons. Last seven times before that we bombed out at round 16.
Might not like the Europa but that’s our level.
True. Judging by the last couple seasons, Europa is our level and there’s no other way than to climb the Europa League ladder if we are to be worthy participants of the Champions League in the near future.
