Giroud! Welbeck great header from a Cazorla free kick, the Frenchman just outstretches his leg and knees it in! 1-0! 2-0! Giroud again! Cazorla great corner, Giroud excellent header!

Arsenal XI: Ospina, Chambers, Gabriel, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Ramsey, Alexis, Cazorla, Welbeck, Giroud Ozil getting a rest, I feel like Alexis needs one too but whatever, Newcastle haven't been doing too well lately

OK, I don't think there's anything I can say to convince you, and there's definitely nothing you can say to convince me that Monaco is better than Arsenal, so I'll stop talking about this. Might revisit this sometime in the future.

:rofl1:

I'd like Barca-Monaco: We could use an easy game, and I'd be unbearably smug after Monaco get ripped to shreds by Neymar, Messi and Suarez Bayern-Atletico: Simeone vs. Guardiola, offense vs. defense, would be a fun watch Real-Juventus: Two European giants, would be interesting to see Juventus...

So they've done well for their youth teams and are earning an international cap or two. Wow. For every "wonderkid" who succeeds out there, there are three more who flop or never reach their potential. Ozil, Cazorla, Alexis, Ospina, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Ramsey, Szczesny, Welbeck, Wilshere...

I feel like he'll start the Clasico after this game, Lucho won't want any rotations given how well we played today

Monaco's one fluky quarterfinal is better than 5 round of 16s?! What? Who? The only players that could even argue a place are Moutinho (worse than Cazorla and Ozil) their CM whose name starts with an A that I can't remember (closest one, he played well but I still don't think he would start)...

No, what I'm saying is it amazes me how Messi can go onto the pitch with the likes of Iniesta, Silva, Aguero, Neymar, Suarez etc. and still look head and shoulders above them all time and time again, he is just so complete and consistent it's terrifying to watch

I feel like Iniesta is a lot better against big teams because we actually need to keep possession and so his dribbling/ball control proves invaluable, while against small teams they park the bus anyway so he'll only do a twist or turn away from pressure once or twice. I think he and Messi not...

Juventus are actually playing well in Europe this year, interesting, they're definitely the dark horse candidate

Really. You're saying that this is better than this? Who doesn't set Arsenal apart?! Literally none of Monaco's players would even start for Arsenal, the vast majority of them wouldn't even make the bench! Who doesn't set us apart from Monaco?!

Only saw the first half, but he was incredible, every time I'm amazed how he can play with worldclass players and make them look like nobodies :worthy:

Yeah, because Monaco have such an amazing record in the CL

Yup I'm sure going out in the round of 16 is exactly what he wanted

I think the team that played better over two games deserves to go through... Do you disagree? do you feel like monaco's world class attacking at the Emirates won them this tie? Their incredible psychological defending resulting in Giroud's only terrible game of the season?

That's completely ridiculous. The sole reason they even scored in the first leg is because we gave the ball away for no reason in the dumbest situations, and because our defenders made careless mistakes in 1v1s. We didn't do either of those things today, which is why they had no chances. Do you...

serghei, I know we were dreadful in the first game, I feel like I've been making that pretty clear, I'm just mad because there's no way Monaco deserved to get through, all three of their goals were because of the dumbest mistakes

Yes, Monaco was complete garbage. I know this sounds like I'm butthurt, but they were not anywhere near quality, their offense consisted purely of kick and run, which is why they had maybe one or two chances today when our defense and midfield didn't have a collective brain aneurysm And going...

Monaco such a joke, if we didn't have the worst performance of our season in the first leg :cry: And we still could have had a penalty instead of that yellow for diving on Sanchez :angry:
