It’s because we know how fecking terrible our defence is. It’s hard to be confident when you’re almost certain our defence will concede goals. Also our away record is pitiful

But it’s not impossible. Just a big challenge. our attackers have to be on top form, because we will concede at least 1 goal

Arsenal fans are babies, but I get the frustration; they were down to 10 men for over 80mins, that's a gift in a semi final and you failed to capitalise. They'd have taken 1-1 away before kick off, never mind after a tenth minute red card.

That language is suitable for him, this is the type of person who brings up a tradgey from 106 years to make jokes, in extremely poor taste

Yes, halftime but you have some nerve to even contemplate that Wenger is capable of winning at Atletico and if we coast past them I reckon we will be humbled by Marseille since the current manager couldn’t win in Europe in the pats 22 years with all the Vieiras and Henry and Bergkamp of this world so what makes you think Welbeck and Wilshere is the straw that broke some Atletico back? Keep hoping I really admire your bravery for us, we live in real world.

Oh shut up

Let’s all quit quarrelling then, I’m fine with that, he said something mean to poor GT and I said Ace has probably never his village in life, too scared of dragons and that seemingly really upset him, so then he lashed out, when is it going to end Raptor? when??

Keep calm Choice

Raptor I wasn’t seriously suggesting he is scared of dragons, I hope in time he will understand that, but the reaction was unacceptable imo, he said horrific things in reply tbh, it’s got to stop.

I agree with Choice.

How in the heck did Griezmann managed to score that goal!!

It's Only Half Time!
------------------------------------------

Mathematically true but realistically a hope and a dream.

Look at what took place today:
- Arsenal could not beat a 10 man team at home.
- Arsenal could not protect against the "evil" away goal rule.
- Arsenal scored first but could not put Atletico away when their heads were down. This team has no killer instinct! Instead they played their usual stroll down the field with 10-15 short cross-field passes to gain 10 yards. Meanwhile the opposition defense is already back and set.

Hopefully the new Arsenal manager will play an exciting brand of football, with fast breakaways, with passes through the middle to forwards with speed. This whole slow waltz football style is obsolete!

Possible longer term solution

Imagine we play half a game at home, but we fail to use an advantage and we play to a draw against ten men. Now imagine the second day half of the game takes place away, against a full strength team.

It's not as simple as 'it's only half time'.
