    Match Reaction v Napoli (home)

    Dominated the first half and should've scored a lot more, as twas ever thus.

    A lot more shaky and really were punished between Monreal and Kolasinac but got through it.

    Emery.

    Call me a negative Nancy, but I'm not convinced that'll be enough. Our away form really is so bad that I can legit see Napoli getting the 2 goals they need within the first 10-20 minutes and it being a long, long night after that.
    You used to be everything to me
    Now you're tired of fighting

    "I can legit see"? You're not that young, you'll be saying "bruv" or "fam" next and then I'll have to get my ban-hammer out
    It's given us a pretty good chance of going through and honestly I can't really fault tonight's performance but there are a few "what ifs" and while Napoli had one really good chance we had a bunch of them and really should have buried them tonight. Clean sheet was really important, that gives me confidence we can progress but it's not a gimme.

    Start with the same team away from home and get that away goal first.. that'll kill the tie.
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    We’ll score at their place. And if Frankfurt can beat them there, so can we.

    Great result!
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    yes, definitely the right thing to do

    great first-half performance - after the second went in i was thinking it could be 4-0 or so but we missed some chances and it was a little nervy near the end, if they'd scored i'd have said we were out, but as long as we get that away goal and defend sensibly (i.e. with Mustafi not on the pitch) we should have enough to do it

    i am sure its not coincidence that we keep clean sheets when mustafi doesn't play.

    good performance. Arsenal v Chavs final.

    Perfect platform to push on. Looks like Valencia in the semi going by their result tonight.

    Onto Watford now - should be good prep for next Thursday.

    Really good performance in general and a good result.

    Can't help but feel disappointed we didn't score more, given our away form 2-0 cannot be seen as unassailable.

    Still a big task ahead of us.
