UEL Group Stage: Arsenal v FC Vorskla Poltava | September 20, 2018 20:00 BST | BT Sport

[rich 1990]

Its not a given we'll reach the final, it'll depend on when we meet Chelsea and how seriously they take the competition. And we don't know who'll parachute into this tournament from the CL. By the look of things one of PSG or Napoli might drop in. The only thing worse than being in the EL is being eliminated by the first strong team we meet in the EL.

Don't forget Sp**s as well.

 

[Garrincha]

Hope to see Lucas, Lichtsteiner & Martinez get a start tonight.

Not convinced I will give it a watch though.

Do we have a player called Martinez? You cant seriously be talking about our 3rd choice keeper when we are all waiting to see our £20m summer signing GK in an Arsenal shirt!

 

[celestis]

Mate genuinely it’s a great little tournament.

Yes it’s not the CL but it’s great when you’re in a European final regardless, boosts the profile of the club and helps instill a winning culture.

Going to be even more interesting when City end up in EL after failing to qualify from the group stages .

The very same.

 

[tap-in]

The very same.

Why don't you want to see Leno play? Just interesting that most have been waiting to see him play, do you not rate him?

Nothing against Leno although the neutral views / opinions are a little concerning.

Just now the team looks like a multiple year FM simulation hope some of the players that have come through the system can win places. We gave him a contract till 2022 & from the small glimpses looks to be featuring in training more than the standard 3rd keeper. Carabao Cup more likley right now I imagine.

Yeah Carabao would be good for him, I agree its good to give all players a chance, particularly those who've been with us for a while. I'm just desperate to see Leno as I think he's going to be a great keeper for us, very athletic!

Maybe they'll finish 4th and not play in either competition.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Stronger than expected. I was really expecting Smith-Rowe start here

 

[Tosker]

Anyone else wishing Santi was turning out for us rather than Villarreal?

 

[krengon]

Boring team, but I guess he's giving game time to those who'll be counted on in the pl season.. No reason to start Auba, Monreal, Sokratis though..

Agree about Auba. But monreal and Sokratis we got no choice because marvs and kola niles injured

 

[JimmyTheMac]

Hopefully Auba can bag a few tonight and get some momentum going.

 

[OnlyOne]

I like the team a lot.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

El Captain Nacho.

 

[tap-in]

I can understand Emery playing Auba, he's been way below par and needs to improve. The only down side is Nketiah has to be on the bench. Great to see Torreira finally getting a start, even if he only does 45 mins again its still a step closer to a PL start.

 

[Rex Stone]

Can’t wait to see our new number 4 in action.

 

[krengon]

All the more reason not to risk them imo..

 

[samshere]

This team is almost as strong as our first team. Guess we'll get to see Smith Rowe only after out qualification is sealed
