    We need to look for a minimum of 3-0+ imo.

    Our season rests on this game, as others have said we need to put this tie to bed tonight.

    I am nowhere near as confident with this game or even the Final, I was a few weeks back before the collapse but not now...

    It has to be remembered that we went on a great run before a similar 'collapse' over Xmas, then put together another strong run before this recent poor run of form.

    This will hopefully be the game that allows us to finish the season on a strong note.

    Yes, i think so too, in particular a clean sheet is vital

    Neither are Arsenal.

    They are either really good or bloody terrible.

    They need to win comfortably tonight although they did beat Napoli away as well.

    Which Arsenal will turn up ?

    I think we will turn up tonight as the players seem all out focused on the EL.

    I'd like us to be ruthless and not sit back once we score though.

    I don’t think they are purely focussed on the EL.

    Our team - like those around us - are prone to periods of consistency followed by periods where we are crap.

    The further you go down the league, the more up and down the form becomes.

    Yes. In Adams' biography he talks about the time in the early 90s when we won a few cups but were nowhere in the league. In the "thoroughly enjoyable" 92/93 season in which we scored fewer league goals than we played league games we actually flirted with relegation although we were never in that much danger looking back. What Adams says though is they were good enough to raise it for the odd big cup game but they weren't good enough to do it week in, week out consistently. That's kinda where we are now. The difference is we do also now expect to be challenging for the top 4, that expectation is a legacy of Wenger's early time with us.

    We are in comparison to the best teams, but Valencia are hardly pulling out any trees either and we're at home, quality wise there's a distinct lack of it other than the likes Aubameyang, Lacazette, Torreira and Leno, Guendouzi and Ozil when he performs. Aside from those guys I'd be quite happy to get rid of all the rest as they're not good enough.
