Europa League 17/18

How far they have fallen.

RB Salzburg to their credit aren't actually a bad side. Still s**t house from Dortmund but it's not like they lost to Plzen.

Atletico are very likely to be one of the teams in the final. Other team either Arsenal, Lazio or possibly RB Leipzig depending on how the draw pans out.

I'd have Marseille over Leipzig just because I think Thauvin and Payet can carry them past most teams left.

 

[citizen-erased]

Milan did well not to lose their s***
Suso didn't appeal when he went down and got a yellow.
Xhaka gets a free kick seconds later for the same thing
Welbeck gets that penalty and Silva doesn't when Bellerin makes contact with him. Would have been soft to give the Silva one, but given Welbeck's.....

Donnarumma had a final 20m to forget.
All in all, Milan under Gattuso look a revived team.

Shocking decision.

 

[Genesis67]

If Arsenal get Atletico or Lazio in the next round then they're stuffed.

Reckon we'd beat Lazio, far from confident against Atleti.

I'm not completely au fait with the rules for being cup tied, so can anyone tell me if Dortmund being out now unlocks Auba going forward in the EL?

No, he’s cup tied for the entire competition regardless of his former clubs status in the competition.

Thanks.

If we get the same ref as today in the final (should we make it), we might be able to sub Auba on in the second half and get away with it

Lazio are on a completely different level this season and guys like Immobile, Luis Alberto, SMS, Strakosha, Marusic, Lulic and De Vrij have all been amazing/world class. They're the only team I back to beat Atletico over 2 legs if it comes to it.

 

[Milanista28]

Was a bad decision and hurt the tie but we have to blame our performance in the 1st leg, Would've been nice to get to the sheds at 0-1 but that's football.

My issue now is that can't be the end of it, The ref needs to be held to account, That's too bad a decision to let go, The fact Welbeck was looking at the official as he was diving made it laughable.

Jesus. Is the ref on the line just for show? Or his eyes are painted on. I mean that seriously could not be more 'right in front of you'.

pretty sure he was the one who called it.

Watch the replay. The main ref hesitated, looked at the line ref, saw him call it and pointed to the spot.

 

[Gosha]

Arsenal should win this easily. The rest of the sides left are f***ing s**t.

 

[Latro]

When is the draw for the next round?

 

[Genesis67]

Dortmund going out does us a big favour. Still think Atleti should be favourites.

 

[CFC_JP]

I've seen some blatant dives in my time but that surpasses anything I've seen.

They’re s**t

I'd say Atletico are better than us, were second favorites, if we can manage to avoid them somehow were a good chance

 

[Shoei]

Blatant dive and only heightens the need for in-game review systems like in the NFL. Even though it will hurt Welbeck needs to be retrospectively punished with a ban.

That being said, Arsenal surprisingly easily the best team over both legs and 5-1 on aggregate shows this. Really like Milan but their players just didn't show up.

Atletico, Lepzig and Lazio will still be favourites but if Arsenal play to their full potential can make the final.

 

[typeclub]

Arsenal should win this easily. The rest of the sides left are f***ing s**t.

The kiss of death has arrived RIP Arsenal.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

They’re s**t

So are Arsenal.

 

[windyhill]

So are Arsenal.

So are Gent.

Predictable.
You really can’t handle your status as NL 2nd banana can you
