The Europa League 2017/18(Use the SF thread to discuss the current match)

Is he related to Manuel Fernandes? Another Portuguese midfielder who scored a lot of screamers. :p

:lol: we just aren't creative with our surnames. André, Bernardo and Adrien Silva, Ruben and Nelson Semedo, etc. Manuel Fernandes is still scoring screamers, he's been on fire for Lokomotiv and he's one of the top scorers in the Europa League. He might even go to the World Cup.

The matchday thread on reddit/Gunners is looking exactly like our thread from yesterday.. Talks of poor team selection/ bad coaching and disjoint team
 
Mhiky keeps losing possession... aren't these the kinds of games where he's supposed to shine?
 
This is new levels of embarrassing from Arsenal.

The Swedes will start to run out of energy at some point during the second half.
 
What is happening with Östersund?! I thought it was a typo when I checked the score. :lol:
 
Just tuned into this.

Only Arsenal would field a near-full strength line-up with a cup final at the weekend, then proceed to concede two at home to FC Bumfeck from Sweden. :lol:

Never change, Arsenal.
 
Isn't Arsenal through as it stands? There's no way they get knocked out by Østersund.
Yes if it stands they're through. But the way they're playing, it's not past them to concede another and got it dragged into extra time. They have a final at the weekend, so they can't risk. Problem is their bench doesn't look like any help putting the tie to bed.
 
That's a shocking colour pink on that Arsenal coat the coaching staff are wearing. Are they trying to promote the women's section from the Arsenal shop or something?

This weekend? oh, shut. Come on Arsenal, you don't want to lose this, you need a bit of self confidence if we you want to win the Cup.
 
Call me weird but I'd find it a bit funny if Arsenal get knocked out.
 
And some say that Chambers should be going to the world cup???
 
Well I can tell you that Napoli are out so that narrows the options :)

Yep, just noticed. Actually didn't see the game had started much earlier when I switched on, I thought it was on at the same time as the other two and didn't look at the time left when I switched to other games.

Sarri's Euro bottle job is complete, only remains for them to slip up and let Juve win the league now.
 
Welbeck has to be the worst footballer with a professional contract on the planet.
 
I would say I'm shocked but these last four years have just left me completely apathetic to Wenger's Arsenal.

Im just bored.

I've actually got the Sociedad-Salzburg game on in the corner too which is a close match too. Tbh being out of the Europa should help Napoli in the league, playing another potential 8 thurs night games if they reached the final would take its toll on the league.

Im watching it and they actually play well and deserve the lead. Now Im opening a bottle of Jämtlands IPA and waiting for second half :) No matter what happens in second half, I dont think I've ever been more impressed by team than by Östersund. What they have done and are doing is remarkable.
