I can’t complain though, with all the titles and FA Cups I have been lucky enough to enjoy. I was just too young for the 1970 Fairs Cup win and, apart from Parma in 94, Europe has been a tail of woe during my years of support. Zidane, although only took over Madrid in Jan that season. Win the away leg 2-0 going out on away goals and don’t get me started on Valencia ouch! I have always thought Arsenal were never a good 2 legged side, we have always been to cavalier and never seem to treat the game as a 180 mins affair Monaco at home a few years back losing 0-2 get a goal back then going hell for leather for an equalizer get done on a late counter to lose 1-3. Won everything in his first season managing Barca. A whole knock out tournament ahead of us. But that’s way too far away for even thinking about. If we win it I think we would be in the inaugural World Club Cup tournament. Great win and let’s release the kids for PSV Hamburg have also won it as another German team. That’s why a pragmatic style the likes of which we have employed this season so often can be a very useful tool.Īs evidenced by last night, we can smash teams as well (although Lens were absolutely dire it must be said) We get to a fair few finals, just got to cross the line more often. I’m also confident we would have won in 2006 if we had 11 against 11. We haven’t had much luck in Europe, 2 penalty shoot out defeats in finals I can think of (Valencia and Galatasaray). I can’t remember if Porto were in the Europa or the CL when Mourinho took over, but I think he won it first shot with them in 2004.ĭidn’t Villa changed managers mid season when they won it in 1982? Also do Matteo as pointed out. I agree 1970 convinced we would still have pissed it with 11 v 11 and going 1-0 down, at that time English teams had too much athleticism for foreign teams even Barca Has any manager ever done it? In his first season in the CL? Stats nerds, do your work”ĭi Matteo, but he only managed Chelsea from March onwards that season so doesn’t really count. “It would be sweet as fuck if Arteta won it at his first attempt Get stuck in – then join us for a 5:15pm later On The Whistle.Ĥ90 Responses to “ARSENAL VS SEVILLA – MATCH DAY BLOG – SUPERSTAR KIDS MAKE BENCH” Jump to comment form ↓ The plan here is likely to win early, rotate people on 55 rather than 75. But if we want to keep them we can’t not play them. I do worry that we’re at a stage of our development where kids don’t get minutes. Nwaneri and MLS get some time on the Champions League bench. A 3pm on a Saturday is a nice fixture, but if we lose tonight, that game takes on a different kind of relevance. They have had a lot of bad luck this season and eventually that’ll turn. We have a tricky away game against Wolves this weekend we also need to have in the back of our mind. 3 points so we can play the children in our final game.Things I’m looking for this evening mainly consist of: We should dispatch of them on our home turf. RC Lens have some good players, but they’re currently in 6th in Ligue 1 and a ways off being PSG levels. That first game was not David Raya’s finest and we exited the away leg as losers. We were complacent in the first leg and were taught that Champions League is VERY hard and you can get punished for the smallest of mistakes. The Champions League game against RC Lens this evening is a revenge tour. There’s a price to pay for defensive solidity… and that’s a frumpy look to our football right now. We’re going to see that happen to Spurs, who lack control, but score a lot of goals and I’m sorry to say it for the Emeryista, we’ll see it there because they’ll get sussed like all Emery teams do. But it’s also clear that exciting football in the Premier League tends to burn itself out. The football isn’t as BANG-BANG as last season. You also can’t deny that we’re taking a bit of time to develop our attacking game. You can’t deny him there, it’s hard playing against top-tier teams like Newcastle, and having to deal with Joelinton dropping in at left back to double up on our wide players. Mikel Arteta has put the issues down to teams parking buses and taxis. The football doesn’t feel as fluid, namely, because it’s not. The pain I expected us to have when building towards the next phase of development has mostly been visual pain. It really has been incredible to witness the progression of the side so far this season. It’ll certainly allow us to take players off early. This is great news and might affect how Arteta manages the game this evening. Sergio Ramos has Sevilla ahead of PSV (2-0).
