UEL Round of 32 1st Leg: Benfica vs Arsenal | Thursday 18th February |20:00 | BT Sport

[Rimaal]

Throwing everything at the wall now.

 

[avenellroad]

Tierney man....missed you

 

[zilfy]

Laca left off in favour if a 19 year old, he'll be bitter as hell

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Pepe with an amazing skill that leaves the ball out of play!

 

[Vibra]

We were 4-0 up at half time, why couldn't he have taken Saka off against Leeds? Moronic decision by Arteta

 

[The_Playmaker]

Haha Martinelli isn't going to get the ball at all.

 

[Get These Hands]

Must be half the population of Brazil in these 2 squads.

 

[OnlyOne]

Why do we always look like the worse team when chasing a goal?

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Laca left off in favour if a 19 year old, he'll be bitter as hell

Yeah, but he is that rich that even 5 guys are closed he can order many meals for himself!

 

[freeglennhelder2]

So now we know what that long preamble from Arteta to Pepe was as he was coming on.

'Kick the ball out of touch as soon as you are in a good position in the box'

Bloody Arteta!!!!!!!!

 

[Macho]

Nice link up from Pepe and Tierney but the touch let him down. Ten mins to make an impact is disgraceful though.

Is this the part where everyone is confused about why Pepe is all over the place after not playing for weeks?

I bet Arteta did that thing when he is barking the most instructions and chatting bare sh*t in Pepe's ear for a 10 minute run out as well, so sh*t man.

What the reason always pass is backwards under no pressure i never understand it

Adelfta.

 

[Artemis]

Pepe is an Enigma.

He's worth £72m for the mystery alone.

couldn't stop laughing when I read this

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

ESR might have had a bad game, but look at the total loss of cohesion now he's off. We can't get the ball and the movement up front has stopped.

 

[Legend14]

We only have 1 in the box when we attack? How is that supposed to work?

What the reason always pass is backwards under no pressure i never understand it

CMs doing nothing.

 

[DanDare]

Every time ESR goes off we lose our shape

 

[The_Playmaker]

Must be Pepe and Martinellis fault, sub em off.

 

[Legend14]

This is an away goal, correct?

 

[Makingtrax]

Loose passes from Ceballos.
