    Match Reaction v Benfica ("away").

    Bit shit, although in fairness there was some good passing at times.

    Auba missed a sitter in the Europa League again.

    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Maybe I'm being petty. But I really dislike everyone off our Central Midfielders not named Partey.

    Cellabos and Xhaka are so tired to watch. Please by the Grace off all thats right in this world. Let them play their football somewhere else starting next season

    that side should have done better, i still think Arteta's overplaying one or two of them, he could do a better job of rotating players.

    the Citeh game could be a drubbing at this rate.

    We’ll cruise to a 0-2 defeat.

    Progress

    Missed the game. 1-1 is always an acceptable result “away” in Europe though.

    On we go.

    How the fuck did Auba miss that chance? Didn’t even hit the target. Pathetic.

    We really should be getting past Benfica, they are dreadful. Hopefully we play with a bit more zip in the 2nd leg, everything was just too slow last night.

    The ineptitude of players at this level really does baffle me. How the hell do you miss the target from there? They don't even have the excuse of bad pitches and bobbles these days, the surface is always immaculate.

    Then their was Tierney in the second half who after a good move just smashed an awful cross out of play.

    I rate both these players but am continuously bemused at how poor players at this level are at basic skills.

    All that said, I only saw the second half (I turned it on just as Benfica got the pel ). I thought we played alright. We dominated, seemed to move the ball foeward well - a lot better than we were early season. The "away" goal was important although a bit meaningless when both legs are away. Overall I'm pretty confident we will progress.
