Make or Break February

[Brown Gooner]

Finish 4th and you might draw some tricky 3rd placed french or 4th placed german team like monaco or leipzig to try and qualify for the CL.

Agree with your post but this is not true anymore. The Top four teams in the top four associations will all directly qualify for the group stage from next season. So as it stands, Barcelona, Atletico, Valencia and Real Madrid will all directly qualify for next year’s CL group stages.

So now the reward for finishing fourth and winning the EL is essentially the same but it is about the prestige of lifting a European trophy (only the second one in this club’s history) that counts.

Unbeaten in all 5, including winning the cup.

That would be a dream Feb!

Concede goals too easily to be confident, despite the new signings.

I brought this up in the tactics thread. The amount of times Arsenal concede goals immediately after scoring is worrying. We look miserable for the ten minutes after scoring. If I was Wenger I would park the bus every time Arsenal scored for at least five minutes so that the opponent doesn’t get immediately back into the game.

Feb is not make or break. That was ages ago.

Yup we broke this summer by keeping the old git and not doing the needed overhaul

^ Winning trophies (League Cup and EL) and having CL football for next season could still mean attracting Quality players and maybe Simeone.

What is in the past is done. A good February can still help in getting out of the mess Arsenal find themselves in.

Don't want to seem like a downer but I predict a difficult Feb. Our first game in March is City at home as well. I think things are going to get worse before they get better. I pray I'm wrong...

Beating City seems unimaginable, but to do so and win a trophy, don't care how big or small it is, would be amazing. A CL spot I think is long gone now. With Everton, Sp**s and City being our next games I think we'll be miles behind the other come the second week of March.

Personally think we need to go all out in Europa. A chance at getting back into the Champions League, and a trophy. But no Aubameyang is going to hurt us, alot. Such a shame he can't play because Dortmund dropped into the Europa. Some tough teams to beat in this competition, would be nice to get a nice run like Man U did.

Simeone is dedicated to Atleti and if he leaves it will be to Inter. I'm not sure I'd want him anyway tbh. Agree with the rest. We have to treat every game like a final and develop a hunger and winning mentality that improves us.

We broke ages ago, and a ****ty glue has kept us together but we have no stability, no unity
