Napoli were terrible but still managed to create 4-5 clear cut chances that they should have scored, it was only comfortable because none of those chances were taken, they should have scored at least one at the Emirates and should have had at least 1 last night (mainly thinking of the milik free header from 6 yards and insigne pass back, also callejon had a good chance early on that cech saved which he should have done better with).
We also looked toothless in attack, we had 2 strikers on the pitch but created 1 decent chance all game, this against a team who had to come out and get at least 2 goals to have a chance, we just never really looked like scoring.
Glad we won obviously but I wouldn't be getting too carried away thinking we have turned a corner, make no mistake this win was more about Napoli's finishing than our defending.
Yeah you're just exaggerating mate. They didn't have 4-5 clear cut chances. They had 1 and a few other decent chances that Cech had covered.
Yeah we only had one great chance but in the second half we were content to sit back, and had we played Ozil we probably would have created 1 or 2 more on the counter, but being 3 goals up we were right to sit back and prioritise defensive solidity.
We kept them quiet. Our offside trap worked. I don't think they completed a cross the whole game. They ended up desperate.
It wasn't pretty, but it didn't need to be because lacazette, torreira and Ramsey did the pretty business over the 2 legs with 3 moments of brilliance.
