One of my favourite forummers. His battles with chocolate were old kinds of everything.

He was the master chocalatier.

Mustafi should go before Lacazette does. Not that both go, but I'm not confident in the current Mustafi form. I think all it should be seen as is to make it easier to sell him in the summer and not have to beg or give him away. I'm not buying he has some how been coached into a solid defender.

Lacazette and Aubameyang are good friends and Lacazette going will make Aubameyang more willing to leave. Still, I agree we can afford to get rid of Lacazette. That said, I wonder if things change if we get into the Cl next season?

I get the sense that there won't be any major 'outs'. Things are definitely looking up.

My (realistic) wish list for the rest of the season.

1. Liverpool loses a league match.
2. We win the FA cup / Europa double.
3. If we get knocked out of the FA cup before the final, then Liverpool wins it on the way to a treble.
4 Sheffield United gets into either the CL or Europa. I like seeing things shaken up a bit.
5. Leicester finish 2nd.
6. We can some whow catch Tottenham or Man Utd....preferably the former.
7. We don't lose another league match this season .
8. Bernie Sanders wins the nomination.

Surely your number 2 should be number 1.
Why would you want Liverpool to do the treble? I always cheer on every minnow in the fa cup and every Non English team in the champions league.
If we won the fa cup and europa league double I wouldn’t be that bothered what we did in the league!

Slow start to the game, I'd like to see us up the intensity and get after them.

Rich · **#467365**

How on earth is that not a red card!??

Pépé is on the edge of the box, past the last defenders and his next action would be a free strike at a GK 1v1 from about the penalty spot. How does the ref decide that is not a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Just awful from the ref, clearly doesn't want to make such a big decision so early in the game, utterly pathetic

Lincoln gooner · **#467366**

Half an hour in and the Greeks will be the happier so far, still well in the tie. Our passing has been sloppy, especially in the final third.

Lincoln gooner · **#467367**

Poor first half- too slow, no urgency. Carry on like that and the Greeks will get more and more encouragement.

long time gooner · **#467368**

One shot by us in the half - and that was off target. We seemed to get slower and slower as the half went on.

Hopefully the end will justify the means.

socrates · **#467369**

A lack of any real quality. The build-up is too slow.

gooner7 · **#467370**

Not our best form tonight

long time gooner · **#467371**

Yeah well. That’s been coming hasn’t it?

Perhaps that will wake us up.

It was rather asking for trouble playing on the basis that we don’t give a goal away. Also simply asking the opposition to come at us.

gooner7 · **#467372**

Defence sleeping again

We've been sleepwalking into that as you suggest. Very poor performance so far.

We needed to keep them occupied. And we simply haven’t. It’s looked like a pre-match kick around.

long time gooner · **#467375**

A shot. Scuffed and off target but it does double our haul for the evening.

Lincoln gooner · **#467376**

Bellerin being skinned alive by that little bloke wide left. Looks off the pace.

Lincoln gooner · **#467377**

Get Lacazette or Pépé off and bring on wonder boy Martinelli.

long time gooner · **#467378**

Nobody up front is making any runs. There is no obvious attacking pass available.

Jeez. 70 mins and not a single shot on target.

AmericanGooner · **#467379**

Don't worry Arsenal. You have all the time in the world. Your chances of scoring are greatly improved by making the same exact passes to the same exact players in the same exact areas and the forward players in the same exact area.

long time gooner · **#467380**

Great skill Pépé, but totally ineffective. Perhaps try a shot next time eh.

AmericanGooner · **#467381**

Pépé has to learn when to stop the tricks, step overs and fakes and just pass or shoot the damn thing.

AmericanGooner · **#467382**

Pépé gets a bit more of a footballing brain he will be dangerous.

long time gooner · **#467383**

Lacazette - barn door - banjo - this evening

long time gooner · **#467384**

Yay. Torreira. Our second shot on target.

long time gooner · **#467385**

Ha ha. Torreira marking Ba at the corner. Nuts.

And now there’s 30 more minutes of this entertainment. Yawn.

socrates · **#467386**

I'm never convinced by Arteta's substitutions. Why Willock and not Martinelli?

gooner7 · **#467387**

How ridiculous putting Torreira to mark Ba in the corner. Ba wouldn't need to do much if the ball comes his way.

Rich · **#467388**

Really poor tonight. All the worst attributes in the team. Passing too slow, too many touches, no off ball movement, no tempo.
I’m still smarting from that ref decision to not send their guy off in the first half. Might not have changed our ability to be woeful tonight but playing 10 men for 70 minutes has a huge bearing on the tie

gooner7 · **#467389**

A very lethargic Arsenal team tonight. What happened?

Lincoln gooner · **#467390**

Worst 90 minutes of Arteta's time by some distance. Woeful.
Let's hope we can claw our way through somehow.

Looks like we started on the basis that we just needed to turn up to go through. Difficult to ramp it up from there.

In fact it’s a bit like watching a game of walking football.

gooner7 · **#467392**

It is evident that at least 2 defenders will crowd out Pépé when he has the ball. Why don't Arsenal have a tactic for runners to offer Pépé an out-ball? Twice there, Özil preferred to hang so far back than to run forward to receive a through ball.

I think so too

gooner7 · **#467394**

About time we take Lacazette out. He had been ineffective tonight.

Lincoln gooner · **#467395**

Martinelli for Lacazette.

long time gooner · **#467396**

Well Martinelli has made a difference. Creates the opportunity for Aubameyang.

gooner7 · **#467397**

Look at the relief from the Arsenal players. And Aubameyang was so emotional there. Good one lad :58big-emoticons:

We can't sell Aubameyang. We just can't.

long time gooner · **#467399**

You’ve got to admire the enthusiasm. Crowd now singing “the greatest team the world has ever seen”.
