The Arsenal Thread XXII

I understand the support you carry and the belief in your team, but you need to score at least 3 goals against a side that royally spanked you on your own turf.

Just think about that for a second.

And to those thinking its just goals.. The Brazil NT should get all their strikers and attackers and make them watch these videos and say this is what real Brazilian football and skill looks like.

Yeah but we played like utter ****e and Giroud missed enough chances that night to have 3 himself. Anyway we've got previous like the 3-0 vs Milan and the 2-0 vs Bayern.

We've dug ourselves a real hole but this is not a top European side, just a competent one that were up against and we can definitely score 3 if we turn up. We've got the firepower tbh

I'm still frightened going into the game. Monaco at home play very defensively, drew 0-0 with PSG aswell being at home and that says alot. I actually do rate them as a defensive-counter attacking team, I remember the last 90mins match when they lost to Nice in September last year,they were injury plagued and lacking in attack. Still brings me memories of our Emirates Cup failure (where alot of fans say it was only the Emirates Cup, but technically was much more than that and alot of people failed to establish how decent of a side they actually are, possibly one of the big underdogs in the Champions League).

If they play 4-3-3 (with Toure, Wallace, Toulalan and Kurzawa in defence) then I would easily say we can give up any hopes of qualifying.

Seeing Kondogbia and Moutinho tear our midfield and defence up like putty should send ringing bells to Wenger. I'm hoping we still play a 4-4-2 and give them little possession. It's hard imagining we actually qualify however we're the Arsenal and if we turn up in Monaco playing best football, essentially anything is possible.

Lol, look at Blind's look throughout, you can tell he is a snide little ****. Would love to leave the studs in if I was an opposing player. Pair of Dutch space cadets there.

What a **** too. Didn't even look like he cared that Welbeck was leaving (not that he should) but most managers pay a bit of respect, especially to a servant like Danny.

I'm pretty sure Brazilian footballers have seen Ronaldo play before.

Some moronic predictions here. We ****ed up our chances of qualification in tbe first leg. Monaco is a team that barely ever conceedes a goal, that we are playing away from home and who don't have to score to win the tie. Not that we've managed to keep many clean sheets this season anyway.
