Agreed. Atletico will get a result in the second leg

They still have a chance of getting a draw tonight.They might even score the first goal.

Diego Costa needs to come on asap, then he will wipe that dirty arse-anal off Arsene Wenker.

I don't know. Salah is having a season for the ages and I could definitely see him scoring against Madrid's weak defense.

Bring him on to hold the ball up and batter those mugs

Hope if/when they play Liverpool he does more than he did yesterday. Was invisible the entire game.

No doubt. Liverpool's defense is nothing compared to Bayern's.

That was the most Arsenal moment I've ever seen. 😂😂😂

That defending made Cahill look like prime John Terry.

To think some believe he's amongst the best defenders in the whole. He's been on the decline for many years now

This Atletico side are so annoying to play against, aren't they? You can dominate them all game but they'll somehow fluke their way to a result, despite their tendency to defend solidly.

They've been doing it for a number of years now, so it's more of an art than anything. Having Oblak bail them out helps as well

I know but it's still annoying and we paid dearly for that in the Champions League group stage!

We remain only one of two teams to beat them at home this season, so our choke expert upfront cost us.

 

Story of our season for the most part

I know bashing Morata is the trend these days (which is kinda funny here because it was he who scored the crucial equalizer in that win in Madrid) but he wasn't the only one who missed chances on that night at the Bridge. We fucked up on that one corner and only scored via a deflection.

Not bashing him, just expect a £70m~ CF to score more 1v1s than he misses. Lets not forget the person that got the winner that night probably won't play for us again.

 

I know Christensen also missed a relatively easy chance, but he's a defender for a reason and my expectations are different. Football is all about taking chances when they arise and we haven't multiple times this season.

Courtois for Oblak straight swap, please. Tibo gets his wish of returning to Madrid, we get the superior keeper who won't blabber in the press constantly.

But that's not the point here, is it?

Pretty sure Hazard, Pedro, Willian all had chances too and none converted them.

Your point was irrelevant as it was in reference to a difference game, so I thought I'd make one as well.

Not to dismiss Oblak's quality but wonder how much of his excellence is down to having a solid defence in front of him. I mean, we saw the same thing when Courtois was with Atletico - had a solid defensive wall in front of him to protect him and was capable of making saves when called upon. But the minute you put him in front of a less solid defence, he suddenly looks incapable of making saves on a consistent basis.
