Just came to post that... pretty good start. Hopefully he can build on that.

I was surprised with how comfortably we won the tie and with a professional away performance from us. Valencia is another test and a side that's hard to break down, but it's a tie we'd have to fancy ourselves to progress from.

Coming up against coquelin and gabriel paulista next should be interesting
Gabriel never really got it going at arsenal, coquelin had that one exceptional half season then got kinda found out but he was a battler for us, tried his guts out.

Coquelin was insanely good for those few months when he returned from Charlton. I recall his game at City in the 2-0 win, he absolutely bossed that match.

I also fondly recall the partnership he forged with Cazorla in CM, about as good a central pairing that we’ve had in a long time.

Speaking of which, awesome to see Santi playing again at Villarreal, remains one of my favourite Arsenal footballers. Phenomenal with the ball at his feet, could get out of any situation.

Cazorla is highly underrated imo, was an absolute jet for us, ridiculously talented, one of the best midfielders we've had at the club.

I enjoyed watching him play as much as I did Rosicky, which is high praise from me. His injury was just out of this world, I remember Wenger referring to it as the worst he had seen.

I just looked it up though, Cazorla has 4 goals and 8 assists in 29 appearances in La Liga. Quite amazing to see him back at that level, at the age of 34 and the severity of his injury.

That's a largely irrelevant stat though as the gulf between the best and the worst has dramatically increased in the last 20 years, for eg we win the league with 78 points in 1998, this season you'll probably need 98 to win the league.

Coquelin suspended for first leg against us.

Why doesn't this surprise me

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Worried about sharpness levels tonight vs Palace, 3rd game in 6 days and one that's very important we take all 3 points.

They are paid professionals
No excuses

Yeah, think Zaha will have a bit of fun.

 

[Shoei]

Just need to win at home. No ifs buts or anything else.

 

[glenferry23]

Ramsay missing is a blow, a possibility that was his last appearance in an Arsenal shirt. Hopefully not, would be a s**t way to bow out.

Sokratis also suspended, hoping Mavropanos gets the nod ahead of Mustafi.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Our starting 11 makes my eyes hurt.

 

[Shoei]

It's.....an interesting line up that's for sure.

 

[Juggs Magnetic]

Really don’t see what El Neny adds to the team, passes sideways, backwards or to the opposition.
Would be better off playing a centre back in the midfield.

 

[Juggs Magnetic]

And surely the linesman picks up that handball if the ref misses it.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

Elneny and Guendouzi offer nothing. The only time the ball goes forward is when Ozil has it.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Our starting 11 makes my eyes hurt.

Absolutely disgusting line up. Zero reason to play a back three with El Neny and Guendouzi playing in midfield.

 

[Shoei]

No creativity in that team and it shows.

Get a perfect free hit from Everton and we are going to * it.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Robbed of a pen, but the rest of the game is going exactly as I expected when the teams came out, Unai has screwed us over here, he better win the Europa League.

 

[Shoei]

Iwobi and AMN come on and 1-1 within 3 Minutes.

Ozil with a great finish.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

Pathetic defence.
