Well someone had to.
A few goals, back to winning ways ahead of the weekend, no injuries, Alexis scoring again and Ramsey back in the fold.

Will any kind of win at olympiakos suffice, or does it have to be by two clear goals? (Or more goals than they scored at the Emirates, meaning we could go through by beating them 3-4 in Greece?)
What happens if the scoreline is a 3-2 away win, matching the score when they played here?

Has to be by two goals at least, meaning we have to better their victory over us which was by one goal.
I'm pretty sure that if we score 3 goals and win then we're guaranteed to qualify because we have better goal difference. So the two goals clear only means that 2-1 and 1-0 are no good. Any other victory score means we qualify.
I always figure that as long its in our hands (which it is) then we will do it.
If we play like we did tonight, with the same attitude, pace and energy, we'll piss all over Olympiacos. But if we slack off just a bit we are out and suffer the double whammy of the Europa League. We could have won by 5 tonight. I think we'll win by a decent margin over in Greece. They'll play it super defensively so we'll have to be focused and ruthless in front of goal. Plus we may have a few players back, if more don't get injured.
Ozil was superb tonight. He's starting to deliver the kind of other worldly performances we all hoped for when he signed. The guy glides on the ball and seems capable of turning in two directions at once. And he's never flustered when opponents are pressing. Alexis' energy was spectacular, Santi grew into the came and put in a good performance overall and Campbell was very lively. More of the same needed in Greece.
Für eure Sicherheit
We will do it but I'm not too fussed if we do finish third
Heroic 0-1 win coming up.
We played well tonight, really good solid energetic performance. As NQ said Ozil was superb, has been all season.
