Some people worry too much, as far as i can see, probably affected by last season's game, or by some team mistakes, especially in defence. I shall confess i'm a bit worried too but my humble opinion is that we must not compare to last season. This tie and of course Thursday's game is different. Arteta knows that this is crucial to his career, unlike last year that he underestimated them (they were also better team than now..).
I think he wants it more than last year (he proved it in the 1st leg, he also said we must be careful in the 2nd game, he has taken it seriously this time), he learned from last year's disaster. Also the opponents are more weaker than 2020, they have more injuries now (Hasan and Valbuena are off) and their manager admitted yesterday that Olympiakos is exhausted (therefore too many injuries). They don't resemble last year's team at all, except God takes a magic stick and transforms them into super players...
Conclusion: For Arsenal to go out this tie AGAIN for 2nd time in a row, shall be a scandal. Players psychology will be destroyed for the rest of the season, Arteta of course shall be eliminated not only from British but also from European football. It will be a disgrace thar similarly i can't find in the wold's football history.
In Greece we use to say: "το δις εξαμαρτείν ουκ ανδρός σοφού"-> "the wise man does not make the same mistake twice"
I wish Arsenal to go to top-6 at the premier league table and why not higher if you can, from the bottom of my heart. This team must be at the TOP, every year, not like recent years.
For Thursday's game, i dont want to believe that there is another result than going through to next round.
Sorry for long post, wish the best for all of you..
