UEL Round of 16 1st Leg: Olympiakos v Arsenal | Thursday, March 11 | KO: 20:00 UTC | BT Sport

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Hope we don't show them any respect like Mikel usually does in these kind of fixtures. Let's go for the jugular and make sure we end the tie in the first leg. Don't want any hypertension-inducing second leg

Amen brother. I just want to enjoy a match.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

This one is where our goals are away goals, but in these two-leg formats often the first leg is played cagily and conservatively. That’s what I hope we don’t do and we go there to score two or three goals. I am wondering though about Mikel’s conservativeness, and whether he will go Willian again for more ball retention or put some trust in Pepe to run at the Olympiakos defence.

Thought it was the home game first.

 

[Hunta]

Stewards letting us in early due to gang violence outside the ground.

Brilliant.

No, Spuds didn’t have to travel for today while we did.

Why the f**k did he bench pepe against Burnley then make no sense. He again forcing it with Willian.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Also bellerin ahead of Cedric. Damn mikel you can't help yourself my guy

So it’s not the same team then is it, Charles?

You ****ing ****.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Get in, well earned start for Willian!

Hector must have been wearing a skirt in training this week.

 

[say yes]

Yeah that's dissapointing. It really looks like Arteta doesn't like Pepe & Saka in the same side, which is a bit of a bummer as they're our two most exciting players.​

Yes mikel seem have his favorites unfortunately and not playing people who on form

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

The team should be enough to put few past Olympiakos my frustration is if you put pepe on bench against Burnley you start him here. I don't get mikel

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Smith-Rowe is on bench good to see him back quickly

 

[Diesel]

If this squad cant get job done then we have even bigger concerns. If this was emery having more combined losses and draws then wins everyone would be blowing their top. Arteta cant have the team go out to these guys.

 

[OnlyOne]

Mod Edit: please don’t

I get what you’re saying. I’m happy with a win. Many others would rather see us lose because that somehow catalyzes us into being better...

 

[Iceman10]

Preferring Willian over Pepe. Preferring Bellerin over Cedric. If the result is fine most will not be bothered so much for the time being, but I don’t agree with these choices.
