Have to rely on ourselves then

gandalf

About time the ref pulled a card.

greendom

Pressure from Wenger brings out a yellow from the refs pocket ?

gandalf

Flamster looks up for it tonight!

gosplan

What's the story with goals between three teams if Napoli win?

What kind of score do Napoli need?

greendom

Next foul from an Arsenal player will probably get a booking too

The ridiculous attempt to get the ball by climbing rosicky helped

tayto lover

Where was Chez rushing out to there?

If Dortmund win Napoli needs to be winning by 3 to be able to progress.

gosplan

Ok I feel better now.

gandalf

Mertens is skating on thin ice now!

Ed Winchester

Kos you hero!

bad2dabone

Really starting to dislike napoli. Cynical.

greendom

Gotta love Kos ! Skills from the centre back

lertsnim

This referee is a disgrace

efb

Jenkinson playing well

gandalf

Jaysus that was a blatent body check on Flamini.

Ed Winchester

Brainfart from Ches

tayto lover

Another stupid mistake from Chez. FFS focus on the game.

efb

This ref is not interested

greendom

Half-way there

Gringo180

Touch biased here but I have to say Kos and Mert are the best centre half pairing in the prem lge at the moment. 2 of them are playing out of there skin.

kingshankly

Typical Benitez side need to win to qualify and they have created nothing

Gringo180

Double post. Damn phone!

Kos the best CB for me this season.
I think Mert struggles when it's played in behind but teams haven't done that this season.

Don't think dunphy would agree. Isn't MERT the weak link in the german team.

mike65

No match thread?!

Anyway this is the first time I've watched Napoli this season - is it the absence of Hamšík and İnler or are they always this "mechanical"? Horrid stuff, terrible use of space.

farna_boy

Napoli seem to be more intent on fouling us than playing some ball. I wonder did Rafa just think that we are the same from when he was in the premiership and we would roll over if they gave us a bit of a kicking?

This the same Dunphy that said Ronaldo isnt a top player

bad2dabone

Henry is as cool as they come.

gandalf

The one great thing for us is our bench actually gives us decent options for the 2nd half, three first team players to bring to change things.

I dont think its that they havent done it, its just Mertesacker has been clever and dropped that bit deeper. His postitional awareness is second to none always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

Ed Winchester

Anyone else think Henry looked annoyed at Chesney being criticised??

I thought that too. Redknapp was just critical for the sake of it. Chesney wasn't nervous he was trying to knock it over higuain because Chesney likes to troll.

Neeson

Why is the ground so empty? The whole lower tier.

Ed Winchester

I'd love to see Henry give Redknapp a right smack in the chops. Then just sit down like nothing happened.

.jacksparrow.

Don't like our mids letter players run at them and not try tackle, did it against Everton too

gandalf

Sigh why can't our players cross the ball!

tayto lover

Jasus Cazorla is playing very well tonight.
Wenger is going to have selection problems soon if we can keep them all fit. Lovely problem for him for a change.

Ed Winchester

Jenkinson always seems to hesitate for a split second which lets the defender block the cross.

.jacksparrow.

Behrani is a dirty so and so

Was saying that yesterday. We are rubbish at crossing. I often wonder if they work at it at all.

I think they don't use the lower tier at the moment for some reason. Nearly sure one of the commentators mentioned something about it at the start.

Yep, clear forearm to Girouds jaw.

Hank Scorpio

any striker with pace would have been through on goal there

tayto lover

Might be time to give Wally a run up front and rest Giroud until Saturday.

Now That its opening up a bit yeah. But girouds strength has been very helpful so far
