Europa League Round of 16 Draw

[hydrofluoric acid]

That's a great idea. I'd pay €5 to see that. Who would you back?

Wenger, of course. Can't stand Gattuso. Reminds me of chihuahua. Little angry man.

When Walcott was a dangerous winger. Good times.

He had that unbelievable run vs. Liverpool too, that was Theo's Cl campaign, such a shame we got robbed.

If you cant see the difference between Walcott before ACL injury and Walcott after ACL injury then we have nothing really to discuss here.

Lacazette was average when he joined us and he was average until some minor injury that happened to him two weeks ago.

Walcott was average before the injury and continued to be average after the injury. He's always been substandard and his pace was his sole quality.

Anyway the part of your post that actually got me smiling is the mention for the unfair "hatred" in the Walcott thread (a guy people have witnessed for 10 years), while being the #1 poster in the Lacazette hatred thread who has only been here for 7 months.

Anyway back to the Milan draw. Exciting match up, probably the best draw out of the top teams. I expect Franck Kessie to rip our midfield apart though.

Never really kicked on from that moment. He was best with miles of space in front of him where he could just lunge the ball forward and launch himself past defenders. His effectiveness was completely nullified when facing teams that sit back.

Should be an entertaining match, glad we avoided Atletico. Milan won't be easy and Gattuso knows how to fire them up so it'll be a tough two legs but I believe we can and will grind it out!

Not easy draw tbh.Italian sides can play good defence and Milan look well in recent months.We could get a lot easier opponents.

Yeah, Arsène does look like he could discipline Gattuso with his fists.

Gattuso has always been big ******.Like most Italian players.

This looks a decent draw. If only we had Laca fit. March 8th and 15th too soon for him.

The club have 2 weeks to sharpen up Welbeck.

Milan are one of the biggest clubs in Europe, no matter their current form. We shouldn't underestimate them one bit.

I guess that for an outsider's point of view this would be an even contest.

 

[dashsnow17]

What I like about this draw is that both sets of fans are thinking the same thing; we've been sh*t this season but we can beat them, but we're wary.

Milan are probably the closest to being our doppelganger right now, used to be great but have been mediocre for a while. There's something of a kindred spirits feel to it.

 

[Dokaka]

Hope you go through. I really want to see Wenger vs. Simeone.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

You either get to the final in this competition or you have to admit we are Everton level now.

 

[Vibra]

I feel like Welbeck will be fine as long as the rest of the team is performing

 

[Dammit]

Two former top clubs fallen from grace facing each other. My best mate is a Milan fan, we always make fun of each other's favorite clubs during coffee break. This is gonna be fun.

 

[<<reed>>]

We need Lacazette for this game. There are 2 ways to get him fit:
1) call Pep and ask for the address of the doping clinic in Barcelona
2) use Nasri's drip doctors

see thats the thing, we've changed to a situation tactically where we actively encourage and allow teams to sit back the last few years. Was never going to work with Theo so best he moved on and sure he will do well at Everton, in fact hes showed signs already, good on him as well and good luck....
The monotonous sideways passing is in charge at Arsenal now and launching a ball in front of anyone just doesnt really come into the equation in so far as I can see.

 

[MkhiMagic]

I'd be this confident too knowing my opponent's striker is Danny Welbeck. Hope we smash the c***s, freaking mid table italian club acting like they're still relevant.

It'll be a lovely trip for the away fans. Fans going should book their room at the Hotel Manzoni.

I hope his hotel is better than his art.

Let's give this thing a go. At least we are playing a big team and a big team we can beat. No catfooting with minnows.
