UEL Round of 32 2nd Leg: Arsenal (1) v Benfica (1) | Thursday February 25 | KO: 17:55 UTC | BT Sport

[avenellroad]

Aubameyang has lost the ball again and again tonight

 

[DanDare]

Need King Pepe to save us. ESR on the left is ineffective and Ødegaard has been rubbish.

Pepe for Ødegaard

 

[krengon]

Seriously this is ridiculous. We could’ve put them away by 2 or 3 if we’d actually gone for them.

As soon as we score we go to lead protection.

Now if they score again it’s game over. No chance we’ll be getting two then.

Yeah this is our own doing, going protection mode so early always leaves you vulnerable to fluke goals, doing it against a vastly inferior opposition is just pathetic..

 

[GDeep™]

Back to 0-0

No, more worse because if Benfica score again then we need 2 more.

 

[DUFFMAN]

Penalty and a free kick.

Why really are charity fc

 

[El Duderino]

If they score another it’s pretty much game over, as we’ll be forced to score be ahead of them or get knocked out.

Only at Arsenal... sigh...

 

[Scottish_Gooner.]

****in ****e again. We are terrible

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Even if we get through here its so hard to see us actually winning this thing

Sad but true. We’ll have to face a lot better opposition and I’m not sure we’re up to it. Massive improvement needed.

 

[Maybe]

push ode back to cm
bring pepe or marti for dani please and go for 2 goals
and then get mo on to protect

That's the plan, probably gonna happen in the 85th min though

 

[bergholt]

We don't score many wonder goals; we do concede quite a few

 

[Jasard]

Best part of this half was when I switched stream and skipped forward a minute. 1 minute less to watch

 

[NieThePiet]

they will 100% score another one.

This Benfica teams look shocking and we are struggling so much. we are not even close to win the EL anyway.

 

[MaraDon]

I still we’ll win but I’m disappointed at how difficult we’ve made this for ourselves. Benfica shouldn’t have a say in this tie. I suppose it’s two set pieces though.

Come on guys. Don’t **** this.

After the goal we needed to go for it and instead we wait for them in our field.

 

[bingobob]

I smell away goals.

 

[OnlyOne]

Wouldn’t mind seeing this go 1-2 here, see what this team and manager is made of.

 

[AberGooner]

If they were even half decent we'd be ****ed

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Because you're a wise woman who learns from past experiences.

Not normal to expect a red card this much

 

[Papa Wonga]

Pointless playing Aubameyang at the weekend, he'll dissapear as per usual. Play martinelli upfront.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We put ourselves in much trouble again we really need to push for another goal because if they scored its probably game we won't score 2.

 

[Oxeki]

Under Wenger, we won't have even broken a sweat with this benfica team.
