Arsenal v Man Utd 2nd leg (first leg 1-0 utd)

Raskolnikov

Adebayor looks like he's all by himself upfront. Van Persie doesn't look fit at all, surely Eduardo has to come on?

Ronaldo should've had a shot there.

Tonight's match thread is brought to you by the teams Arsenal and Manchester United.

Posters would do well to remember that.

RasTa

Don't ye lads know that Utd buy the ref's for the big games?

Raskolnikov

Are Arse playing for 0-2?

And all of that during the Great Sir Alex Ferguson Reign at the turn of the 21st century.

Wenger was studying Gerrard Houllier videos on how to defend a 2 goal deficit.:)

Arsenal getting booed off by their own fans at the half. :rolleyes:

European refs are awfull soft in the most. All CL games should be reffed by Blue square premier refs. Might get to see some actual tackles then.

That_Guy

All too easy for United. Given way too much space in Arsenal's box. Players look very fatigued for Arsenal. No way Arsenal can come back from this. I think they needed to score at least one in that half to give themselves a good chance.

One of the worst Arsenal performances I've seen in a while.

United to get another two I reckon.

yermandan

Unbelievable first half. I'd say Rooney will be off and there'll be a re-shuffle to protect the booked players for the final.....

roryc

lads im in Oz so watching on some random channel... the icing on the cake now would be to hear Dunphy's half time ramblings about how Ronaldo is rubbish etc... you'd miss it! please describe in detail so I can have a laugh to go along with my beer

Also, how much are flights to Rome?

Haven't been keeping up much with the thread (there was a match on). So:

1) Dodgy refereeing. He's giving every vaguely fouly foul he sees. I do think the goal freekick was a foul, but for seemed to give one for Park missing a header and falling over.
2) Ronaldo is having a great game. Well, the whole team is, but Ronaldo in particular
3)Swedish commentary, 20 minutes in (with my dodgy translation):
Henrik: "Arsenal do have Eduardo on the bench, would Arsene Wenger think about bringing him on to change things?"
Glenn: "He could bring on Pele and Maradona and it wouldn't change things".
Ouch.

Tusky

Arsenal were very unfortunate with both goals, but have done little to improve their situation. Nasri and Walcott are trying hard but some others seem to have lost interest.

The ref has definitely given lots of soft decisions... particularly for Ronaldos goal. I thought he went down easy.

staker

FFS, was looking forward to a belter.
Feel sorry for arsenal.What can you say at half-time to lift them??
The ref reads The Star i think,Ronaldo's getting everything

It's melodramatic tripe like this that makes this forum excruciating to read at times.
United are being flagged off side when they're not and clean in on goal. Throw in given against Park. Bad decisions. Doesn't make it the worst display by officials.
Perspective. For the love of God.

well thats going nicely indeed

what are fellow utd fans thoughts on ando

he's ok not as good as last week thou

Random

Arsenal don't look like they'll even get another shot on target. They're just not convincing at all.

Every time utd get the ball it's calm and relaxed, each time arsenal get the ball it's rushed and paniced.

I'd love to see this turn into a decent match, let's hope arsenal come out fighting - after all they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

niallk

I'd say Tevez on for Rooney with Ronaldo moving to the wing. Then about 15 minutes into the second half United will go 4-4-2, bringing on Berbatov maybe to exploit the space that will inevitably open up as Arsenal become increasingly desperate.

He's doing well to get the ball, but he's not keeping well enough.

"Room for improvement" :P

No but he seems to play well with Fletcher, they seem to compliment each other!! Great things will come from both of them in the future I reckon

As an Arsenal fan, I just want one or two goals at this stage to have something to celebrate.

Almunia for England ! :pac:

Taking too many touches and not getting time on the ball he likes. Fletch for me has been the star in the centre 3.

Ronaldo yet again not shown up for a big game
