Yep 1000% agree, our offensive play at times was nice but defensively oh my god we were a complete mess.Originally Posted by The Emirates Gallactico
I agree, they are clear favourites. They are man for man a better team than us, have a better manager than us who is tactically elite and have star quality in every area of their team.
We won't beat this lot, I'm pretty sure of that.
Good but expected win against a pub side, CSKA are really a nothing team and that showed, Atletico are the only decent team left in this competition so they're the real challenge.
Makes me laugh that some of the people who belittled this competition now say they really want to to win it, I've always said winning a European competition is better than making up the numbers in the CL and was happy with us being in this, others however claimed it was small time and didn't even want to be in it and now suddenly are desperate for us to win it.
Personally it's a double edged sword for me, really want us to win it as winning a European trophy would be amazing, but at the same time I don't want Wenger in charge anymore and don't want him to have any chance of a new contract, winning this could give him that and of course we'd be back in the CL making money so would have no incentive to replace him.
The pro Wenger fans will also spring out of the woodwork and start telling everybody how great he is and how everyone was wrong.
Atletico are a better side no doubt, but Wenger is a lucky manager, just when things seem to be going totally wrong things turnaround and he saves his skin (through luck rather than skill), so I wouldn't put it past us to win this.
Have people not learnt from the past?
We are winning this and Wenger will be staying.
It's a decent competition. Some good teams have come through it. Atletico being one of them.
I'm not watching the games at the moment and have no idea if that will change anytime soon. If we end up actually winning the thing, regardless of what it means for Wenger's future, I doubt I'll enjoy it as much as I should because I haven't been following the games. If the Board keep him for one more year, I highly doubt I'll watch the opening game for next season. Who knows where it goes from there.
Interestingly, I am watching the the Europa League games because it's something I think we could genuinely win and while it's no CL it's a cup competition I could get excited about us winning.
Dream scenario is we win it and Wenger leaves on somewhat of a high.
I suspect neither will happen.
Wenger
