Europa League 22/23 | Final: Sevilla vs Roma (May 31)

[top1whoisman]

Looks like Arsenal are not taking the UEL seriously.

Think it's smart for them. They have a unique chance to win the title so it makes sense to put all eggs in one basket. And the team they fielded tonight should get a decent result to take to next week's home leg.

Edit: And as @Berbaclass says, it's only four changes to their best possible first XI.

Team selection says otherwise

 

[top1whoisman]

Bayer & Roma 1-0 up early on.

 

[Berbaclass]

1-0 Arsenal. Saliba

Team selection says otherwise

They have rested their keeper, best CB and best CM.

Still good enough to already be ahead though.

It's still an extremely strong side.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Players need to stop going down and staying down for a minute every time.

You're not that hurt.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

1-1

Inacio, unmarked five yards out from a corner.

 

[Red4Ever]

That Arsenal goal was a free out surely

 

[Berbaclass]

That defending

Free out?

 

[Rightnr]

Class defending from the Arse

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Shocking defending. Not a single Arsenal player challenged for it.

 

[The Purley King]

Clear foul from zinchenko although it wouldn’t have impacted saliba scoring. Is there var in this game?

 

[aeh1991]

Marcus Edwards looks like a good player amd would have probably been half the price of Antony

 

[cyberman]

Free out?

Must be an Irish poster. It’s a GAA term

For free kick or goal kick?

 

[cyberman]

For free kick or goal kick?

It’s a free kick

 

[duffer]

It’s a free kick

Ah, thanks.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Fecking hell. How jammy are Arsenal?

 

[Judas]

It’s their year.

 

[Hoof the ball]

It’s their year.

I missed the keeper incident. Did Xhaka punch the ball out of the keepers hands?

 

[brian017]

For free kick or goal kick?

Free out is a free kick/puck for the defending team. Free in is one for the attacking team

 

[Berbaclass]

Yeah, Martinelli got booked even after VAR check

 

[PoTMS]

West Ham should really be going deep in the Conference League. Only really Fiorentina and Villarreal to worry about.

[Gazza]

"Bring on United" ?

 

[RedRocket9908]

No changes tonight from the side that lost to Liverpool on Sunday, I cant decide wether thats a good move or just weak management.

Think it's a chance of redemption

 

[Red4Ever]

Free out?

yup foul by arsenal player

I don't see anything weak in that. It's an opportunity for the first team to show how they react to Sunday's humiliation. In terms of the fixture schedule and fatigue I was hoping for some changes but I kind of like how he's handled this.

Not sure
Still a foul imo

Shakhtar aren't a real team. They're a PES team imported into real football around 2010. I swear I never heard of them as a kid or a teen. They just didn't exist, until they did.

They actually won the UEFA Cup (now the Europa League) in 2009, becoming the first Ukrainian club to do so.

 

[Blackwidow]

Sporting 2 - Arsenal 1 ...

Peak Brexit ignorance

Another 2 please Sporting, that will do nicely!
