Spoiler: And look who we play next, ffs...

Spoiler: Only kidding, good guy is our Hector...

People underestimate the Holding tax. He’s a championship player that can’t defend or pass, and we can’t play out basic game with him in the side.

Palace is a 50/50 is he plays.

I was writing that stuff 2-3 years ago when he paired with Luiz, we couldn't control the ball as they were just giving it away with long passes

 

[Jasinho]

The thought of Holding starting for us in the PL if Saliba is injured honestly gives me goosebumps, and not the good kind.

 

[GLITCH]

Still think Nelson deserved to stay on. Oh well, night.

 

[lamby22]

Do people think fatigue was really the issue? The players just looked like they cba, when they actually played with intensity they forced some saves from the keeper.

No, they’re finely tuned athletes not some fat middle aged 5 aside team.

If you're really sitting here wanking off a tournament that Unai Emery has walked multiple times when it hinders our ability to win the hardest league title in the sport then I don't know what to tell you. The Emirates was built to win the CL and the League, not a Thursday night competition with fodder and underachievers.

Not wanking off anything. Disappointed that the team I love lost the chance of winning silverware.

Which is what football is about.

Maybe the Europa League is below you. Maybe the FA Cup too. But it isn't below Arsenal.

 

[jones]

Hardly anyone remembers Europa League wins unless you're Sevilla. Jose won it with United, nobody even mentions it.

Nonsense

 

[Sniper Mik]

People saw the performances of Vieira, Holding, Jorginho, Tomi's 7 minutes in heaven and still think we have the squad to do Thursday, Sunday smh

 

[14Henry]

Hardly anyone remembers Europa League wins unless you're Sevilla. Jose won it with United, nobody even mentions it.

So that means it's OK to lose to an inferior side?

Chelsea, United, Atletico Madrid have all won it in recent years.

And as for Jose winning it and no one mentioning it. You are mentioning it.....

 

[GoonerBoy19]

I was impressed with sporting, they easily by passed our press. Arteta has still lot to learn.

Horrendous player. He gets praise for that cup final when he stood up to Costa but in reality got roasted all game lmao

2nd and a EL final/win = Great season.

2nd = Meh.

I get what you are saying, but its not a given that 1 game a week changes much. If we show up, we'll win, if we don't, we won't.

Having only 1 game a week and being better able to play the first choice XI every weekend is a big help against a team like City with more depth. We've already lost a Europa league final and there was nothing great about that season. The only function this tournament has is to get you back into the CL if you bottle top 4. That won't be an issue this season so it's useless. People talk about a lack of European pedigree, what club our size do you see bragging about winning the f*cking Europa League?

 

[Maybe]

Guys just have a good smoke or drink and forget about today. Not worth the hassle...
We have bigger things to focus on!

This!

Think the way we play against decent European teams, we would get knocked out sooner or later, so it's better to end it and focus on the PL.

I was expecting more and though we have a side that can compete in Europe, but I was wrong again so fck it

Look at Mikel's lineups for these matches and reconsider.

 

[Dokaka]

The mighty Arsenal a bigger pull than your own club.

Different knock

Bruh the Conference league is so poor that we look like juggernauts

We just played a team that are sitting 2nd in the Cypriot league ffs

 

[Morning_woody]

Sevilla FC won this tournament 3 years in a row and no one can't remember that sh*t. That's how ridiculous this competition is.
Seriously, how many of you remember which club won Europa League 10 years ago without using Google?
I could care less about Europa League, i only regret that we spent 120 + minutes on this crap.
In my terms, this is like when you get turned down by a 150 kg 1/10 unit who thinks you are in to her just because you are polite and greet her with "good morning" every day. **** off. We move, let's focus on that 10/10 Tinder girl and smash Palace on Sunday.

If it helps us win our first league title in 19 years, then you're damn right it is.

Ramsdale will cost us again. The Saliba x Gabriel partnership at the back has been papering over the cracks.

The Fulham game and other blunders over our past games have been there for all to see.

 

[14Henry]

Look at Mikel's lineups for these matches and reconsider.

So that team he put out wasn't good enough to win? Dead on.

Did they? Thought the winner plays the CL next year

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Calm down Brexit on the Tracks, Saliba will be fine after the international break

Funny...... I thought we had a game on Sunday before the break.

Can't believe how much you love the EL btw. It's like you salivating over a 3/10. Would expect it from Gdeep ( if she were a whale also) but not you.

You need to raise your standards.
