The way we started, I expected them to fold up and concede more but the main players fought back and kept on pushing for 3rd goal.

VITAL 3rd goal - great cross and finish.
Very good chance of a European final. Not done yet, but we are very much in with a shout.

You guys will never learn, will ya?

As it stands, Valencia are going through. We have 90 minutes to play still at the Mestalla. And, we have Xhaka and Mustafi out there.

90 mins still left, you toaster. :rolleyes:


Tbh I had no faith after they scored inside 10 minutes. The way they started I thought it was going to be another collapse and pure mistakes. We actually did well against a very organized and slick attacking team.

Their only problem was finishing as we could have easily been toast inside 15 mins

As I said.

3-4-3 has been our best set up, that was our best defensive and offensive play for the last 4 games.

Hence why I said you saying this a trash set up is ludicrous.

We may have as you said 7 defensive minded players (although Xhaka is not defensive minded) but maybe that's because our defenders need that cover ......... as Crystal Palace, Leicester and Wolves showed so glaringly.


Again, that is not a 3-4-3.

Mate, give it up.

I know EXACTLY what it is especially when Ozil is on, you can rest now Tony Stark.

Belated props to Sead for his cross to find Auba.

Pure silk.

Good result, especially considering we were 1-0 down.

I have seen lack of concentration for both sides.

Happy with the work rate auba and laca have shown.

We performed below acceptable. Although we have 3 at the back + xhaka&guendouzi, we left many gaps for them. Another huge problem is that we are very vulnerable against set pieces.

Proud of the team for pushing right through to the end. Laca deserves a ton of credit, he was constantly hustling for the ball, and likely got other players to play with more fire in their bellies.

A Laca hattrick would have made this game perfect, but for now, Im happy that we are in a strong position to reach the final.

You should give it rest.

A 3-4-3 suggest Ozil was playing as a forward with Lacazette and Aubameyang either side of him. That wasn't the case.

I couldn't care less, maybe I'll just keep doing it to spite you.

I could say 5-2-1-2 or 3-4-1-2, 3-4-3, or 5-3-2 or whatever, fact is I'll abbreviate it however I see fit.

If people can't see we played 3-4-1-2 then so be it.
