I'd actually be surprised if Arsenal lose tonight, but I can't see them winning by 3 goals to make up the aggregate score.

Still, it ought to be a fun watch. Unless Arsenal concede in the first 10 mins or something.

Which I suppose they probably will now that I've said that.
Which wouldn't have actually changed much in the context of the tie - we'd have still needed three.
No, nor was it a penalty.
Nah mate, haven't you watched any of this season? It's got to be one or the other.

It's not necessarily too attacking imo, but certainly more attacking than I expected, and probably more attacking than is wise. Welbeck and Cazorla contribute a reasonable amount defensively, so I can see the logic here. Would have been worse if Walcott had started over Welbeck, for instance.
It's not much but I'd have played Ramsey instead of Welbeck. The first 15 minutes was my worry where we couldn't really get it out of the deep areas into the attack and it's because we've basically got more strikers than midfielders at the moment. It got better as the half went on though. It also means Walcott is the only forward who can come off from the bench, though Ramsey will come on for Cazorla or Coquelin at some point.

That a player as intelligent as Scholes was doesn't see what Özil brings to the side is infuriating.

Oh cool, let's lay into him for swapping shirts.

Scoring 3 =/= winning by 3 iirc.
And I'm saying I don't see why us conceding early would've altered much at all. We don't actually need to win by 3. Obviously 3-0 means we go through in normal time but 3-1 still gives us a great chance and so wouldn't have had much of an effect on the game plan.

England-esque defending there ironically, converting a 2 on 4 + keeper into a 1 on 1 with the keeper, but for an erroneous flag.
