Arsenal v Monaco

[Ligue 1 fan]

What a goal!!!!

 

[Alty]

Well this isn't very good for my betslip

Remember that really random year when it was Monaco vs Porto in the CL final? This is bringing back memories.

 

[JJH]

Huge deflection.

Lol at Arsenal

 

[You Orns]

Well this is rather amusing.

 

[smat]

Well this is quite dreadful.

Gary Neville has this spot on. Alexis and Welbeck aren't staying wide enough. We're narrowing the play too soon and not stretching their imposing defence. Great first five minutes and shit since. The lucky deflection will hopefully wake the squad up.

 

[Ligue 1 fan]

It'll still finish 3-0 Arsenal though..

 

[BlueBee]

Ozil walking about doing nothing....now there's a surprise.

 

[smat]

Kondogbia is immense tho.

 

[JimJams]

Arsenal become the only English team to win a knockout game in this season's Champions League.

 

[Mustard]

Fluke goal but we've been taking that risk by playing so shite. We'll play better in the second though as always and doubt we'll stay scoreless.

 

[mistermagic]

Didn't think Monaco would actually score! Arsenal are in deep shit now.

 

[BlueBee]

Is there a worse home support in the Champions league? I can't help this Arsenal side. Groan followed by silence followed by OSPINAA followed by another groan. Embarrassing.

 

[stripey_nigel]

We've softened arsenal up nicely for Monaco

 

[You Orns]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ligue 1 fan]

Yesss!!!!!!

 

[Richard Cranium]

Shocking defending!

Arsenal have been gash tonight.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Whats happening to Arsenal? Do they have a mental block when it comes to the Champions League knock Out stages?

 

[General_disarray]

Someone should tell Arsenal this is only the first leg, no need to chase the game with one defender back.....

Ospina looks terrible.

 

[GodsGift]

hahah

Knocked out in the round of 16 and they'll probably end up 4th place in the league again. Now that's what I call PROGRESS.

 

[BlueBee]

Do the Arsenal fans on here realise how poor Ozil is? Bar The odd assist and goal what does he actually offer you? I'd have Ramires over him...at least he fucking tries.

 

[Nath]

LOL classic Arsenal.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Giroud...

 

[JJH]

Of all people - Berbatov.

And then Giroud, jesus christ.

 

[Blitzballer]

Arsenal are shit

Still not sure why everyone belittled Monaco, the only thing I can think of is they never saw them play and assumed they were lucky to get this far.

The fact they only scored 4 goals in their 6 groups games while conceding just one might have had something to do with it.

 

[Mr Bauer]

Oh dear.

 

[Renegade]

Don't agree with taking Giroud off, even after that miss, he is easily the best centre forward they have and can score even when he's playing terribly.

I have to echo the Ospina sentiments - what does he do better than Szczesny? Apart from not smoke in the showers? He's doesn't have better positional sense, he doesn't have better hands. Ospina looks more spectacular because he's tiny in comparison maybe?

Not basing this on tonight's performance by the way, he hasn't looked as good as the Pole in the previous five matches or so.
