Arsenal v Benfica, 17:55 GMT (25/02, BT Sport 1)

[Gooner23]

Quite a dangerous position for us now, they only need to nick another goal and we'd need two.

[Mac76]

Xhaka moving his head again was what let it through

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

[Gooner23]

So frustrating as Benfica have done fuck all over 2 legs but have somehow scored 2

[selassie]

We have regressed offensively since Odegaard has come into the team. I like him as a player but he slows us down, back to Tippy tappy slow build up with him in the side. Much prefer ESR in the number 10 role and Pepe on the wing. Drop Odegaard to the bench he’s not even our player FFS!

His first goal for Benfica?

FFS.

Been thinking for a couple of games now, he actually reminds me a bit of Ozil, albeit works a bit harder defensively

it's playing both him and ESR that's the problem

i don't think anyone thought Arteta would play them together, we thought they'd alternate

I'm not sure we're now seeing the best from ESR either, being shunted out to the left
