Pedestrian stuff.

If anyone from Utd are watching, they’ll be hoping we scrape a 1-0. They’d be more worried about Villarreal on this showing.

I get that we need to be patient and cautious because once goal for Villareal and we are out (cant see us scoring three) but it feels ultra handbreak.

Pépé over elaborate. Play the simple game. Very frustrating for teammates awaiting his pass.

Arteta has 45 mins to save his job. What will he do with this team? How will he inject more urgency in them?

A steaming pile of manure with a dollop of extremely stinky dog shite on top.

Where is the energy and urgency?. How many backwards passes ffs!.

This is a european semi-final not a testimonial.

That's better. More urgency.

The awfulness of watching it is exacerbated by having to listen to Carney’s inane insights. Not improving my mood at all.

Good opportunity to replace Pépé with Martinelli?

Get Martinelli on the pitch.

Need to get Ødegaard off and get some help for Partey

The formation of effectively vacating the middle of the pitch and just leaving Partey in there is a bit strange - It worked against Sheff Utd but not sure it has worked since but we've stuck to it. Feels like a 4-1-4-1 formation.

Elneny needed in the middle of the pitch, Martinelli needed up top. I'd take Ødegaard and Pépé off.

At what point are we actually going to go for it? This isn't just a semi final this feels like do or die for the next 2-3 years for us in terms of progression.

One key weakness in Ødegaard is that he drops away from the opponent when he loses the ball.

He is Ceballos version II

An hour in and in a game we must score we've only had 1 shot on target. Villarreal probably can't believe how little pressure they've been under.

Yep

Ødegaard off for Martinelli.
Seems to be Saka moving more central and martinelli left and Pépé right

Come on Martinelli !

Too many of our players are afraid to play a quick pass. Everything has to be too precise, too careful, too secure.

Time to just go for it lads. Come on, you’re not really this poor.

*%^@*** Emery stepping over the ball to waste time!

Well done agent Coq

Holding, good at getting his head on the ball (unless the giant Sterling is there to score) but never have I seen him get an attacking header on target.

We have absolutely zero threat from set pieces. Not even from the second ball as it drops from the clearance.

He just got tantalisingly close there. Just past the post.

Come on boys, we can do this

Nor from anywhere else much. We are just drifting out of this competition right now.

Yep, that’s a holding headed effort. Gabriel is great in those situations.

So this is how we die, Willian coming on...

The corners are truly shocking.

Unbelievable. Great move. Deserved better.

That’s unlucky

Hit the post again and then cleared off the line

Unlucky Aubameyang

No Gooner7 said 89th minute. Gives them no time to equalise.

We're going out, aren't we. Terrible.

Starting to think how much added time we'll get now, desperate. quite a few subs plus the Mari injury, should be at least 4 minutes minimum

Patience, 8 more mins

and going out to a 0-0 is pretty unforgivable

Yep. Just really really disappointing. So many poor performances.

There’s still time.
