Europa League 2018/19 | The Noble Wulf Edition
- Thread starter P-Ro
- Start date
Are we watching the same tie? Napoli has been rubbish.
No VAR in EL. Maybe final only?Is there no VAR in the Europa League? Frankfurt just scored a clear offside goal and the goal stood. Completely bizarre if there is VAR in this game
Sadly he was. One of those we splurged the Bale money on.
He was very much 'meh'. Not terrible but I often wondered what he was actually meant to be good at.
Scored a nice goal against Fulham once I guess.
Watching the Arsenal game, my Lord, on paper it looks like we have a lot to catching up to do on them too, let alone the others! Across the field they have better players than we do.
He's a former Arsenal player so there's probably some bias. Napoli's finishing has been shite though, they could easily have had a couple of goals
Is it time to swap over to the Frankfurt game? Seems like the only tie that's still alive. 1-0 up, 3-4 on aggregate.
Yes. Best atmosphere as well.
Lacazette is a better all round player than I thought he'd be. Much more than just a poacher.
Chelsea and Arsenal will make the final.
I think Napoli were on top when arsenal scored. They missed a sitter about ten minutes before arsenal scored.
Rebic runs a lot. I like that.
Two english finals would be a huge statement for the PL.
Shame it's Ajax vs Barcelona & Frankfurt vs Valencia then
Took your word for it & it's already a much better game.
Thats a bold prediction
Serie A is shite. That is all.
How's Felix doing?
I didn't watch us, boring as feck. Even the goals.
That ball from TAA to Salah though
Have you seen this yet?If Chelsea or Arsenal win EL what happens with 4th placed team, let's say it's us.
Nothing, 5 teams go from EPL
4th and the EL winner would get CL, so 5 english teams next season. Only way it affects 4th is if both CL and EL winners are English, and both winners finish outside top 4 I believe.
Why is João Felix on the wing though? He's nothing special on the wing. Doesn't have the blistering pace nor the agility to operate on the wing. The coach should have gone with the same setup he had in the previous match. Some coaches and their love for tinkering.
Oh, my bad, never heard of him before
Still very few Brits.
Over the 2 legs so far, Arsenal has been the better team. Arsenal should have gone into this game no less than 3 goals up, they too missed a ton of chances at home.
Nothing.
Only way you could miss out by finishing 4th is if Arsenal got 3rd and we dropped out entirely and won the CL.
(Chelsea would also have to win the EL)
Looking forward to the 2nd half of Eintracht Frankfurt v Benfica game now.
Oh, my bad, never heard of him before
Still very few Brits.
Well, we can field a full English back four but it's not a pretty sight and I'm not talking about Jones' face.
4th is fine, would be five teams in CL.
Only thing that complicates things is if Spurs finish 5th yet win CL so in that situation 4th would miss out if we also have English winner in europa.
They're a better team then us under Emery. They'll lose Ramsey though which'll hurt them, but Emery signed well last season and if he has a similar summer with 4 good players they could be a force to be reckoned with.
Does he look better than Sanches did at Benfica? I would say stay another year at Benfica.
That second Chelsea goal
Just seen the offside goal. Wasn't even close, miles off.
Not a chance, on paper we definitely have the better players.
I don't think the difference is that clear-cut given that you'll likely lose either/both of Pogba/DDG in the summer.
I think only De Gea, Shaw, Pogba and maybe Rashford would get into their starting Eleven. Lacazette is probably better than Rashford atm though
Yeah, but Arsenal have better players on computer/mobile screens.
4-3 at the bridge Time to swap again?
Time to swap again?What?
