If Ceballos was English he would be so pro-Brexit it would be unreal. Proper falangista!Choosing this quote is wrong on so many levels, I can write a 2000 word piece about it.

Starting to feel nerves ahead of this game. At the end of the day getting back into EL at minimum next season is about transfer spend because I don’t see Kroenkes stepping in to make up for any shortfall, so it is about the club and not falling further behind.
The good news in part with fitness news it seems that starting lineup decisions are being made for Mikel. The bad news perhaps is the strength of our bench is affected and that of course has potential to bite hard if this match goes into extra time. Let’s hope for an energetic start to the match, not another of those cases where the players start off tight and slow. There does need to be aggressive pressing from our attacking line right from the opening whistle.

Can't imagine we'll score in the first half, and also if we don't score in the first half we won't go through. Fingers crossed though.

We need to play more direct. That’s something we have really missed. To do that affectively we need movement and that means need runners in behind and that means Pepe needs to start. I’d like Saka left back to give some width and attack down the left. I think we’d be okay with Auba LW with Saka staying wide left but Auba needs to be instructed to run behind too - he needs to involved in build up play.
At one point Auba was clearly playing as an inside forward with the LB really high and I’d like to see that again.
I’d like to see Partey given a similar amount of freedom he was given at the weekend alongside either Emile or MO10 if fit.
handbrake needs to be off here. Let’s score some goals.

Nothing Wrong With Me
We have to go at them right from the off. 3 -0 by half time, if we add a couple more in the 2nd half we could then consider bringing on Auba to replace a tired Laca.

I agree. If we get through that will be the biggest game too. This competition is make or break.

"Disciplined"
Sounds like Xhaka is playing LB. We should have enough either way but it's a very risky decision. I imagine Slavia will sit back most of the game so we have to be really careful of any pace they might put on the right side on the counter. Xhaka got caught out by Cengiz Under's pace over the top in the Leicester game earlier in the season when he was playing LCB which cost us. Baffles me why Sheff Utd didn't think to put any pace on that side at the weekend.

Not nervous about this at all, easy win tonight.
Very nervous for the next game against Emery's Villarreal, will be a titanic tussle...have a good feeling that Unai will get the reaction he deserves from the Arsenal fans in attendance when he plays us at The Emirates though.

Something tells me Auba isn't starting today

Have to admit that it's a bit shameful to have all these talks about a "big game" for a game against Slavia Prague in Europa League when most of us didn't even know a single player from their team.
They really looked trash during the first leg, especially their attackers. It looked like they were playing wearing timberland shoes.
This game should only have a downside which is if we manage to not win it somehow.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, I am resorting to wearing my lucky Arsenal shirt all day. Last season's away yellow strip. (We never lose when I wear it - well almost!).
Matchday!

It's a big game in the sense that if we get knocked out, the ramifications will be huge. We need to get to the final and win it.

An early goal to settle the pervs and then we can try to rip them apart, early goal is very important though.
Don't want to progress just to lose to Villareal/Man Utd.
