Ceballos off. Fcuk Arteta anyway, thats all on him, a blind man could see he was one knock away from a red

FixitFelix

No point Arteta going mad, it's his ****ing fault

WoollyRedHat

Oh ffs

Royale with Cheese

Trying this false 9 shíte for the first time ever in a European semi final, not changing anything at half time and leaving Ceballos on after his challenge at the start of the half... that's Arteta done.

Azatadine

What a debacle.

Nasty by Ceballos, no excuse. That kind of **** from a player like him should see him given his papers.

Yellow for Partey seems harsh unless he said something particularly bad. In which case it should be red. :pac:

Underground

Well that's it. Damage limitation now.

Has Ceballos had the worst European campaign of an Arsenal player ever?

Bobby Baccala

Why does Ceballos even play for us he’s cost us multiple times this season.

bad2dabone

I hate to say it lads, but I don't think arsenal are a top team anymore.

If we weren't living in bizarro-world he'd be done.

With how negative Villareal are being I'd be disappointed if we don't score in the last half hour.

Another question for our manager for sure!

Mickeroo

He should have been taken off at half time, he nearly got sent off within seconds of kick off and he was still left on. Crap crap management.

Ardennes1944

Thats completely on Arteta. We could all see Ceballos wouldnt see out the match. No excuse not to take him off at half time, put Xhaka in CM and Cedric LB

Imagine us in a super league, cannon fodder

Game over

Surely we have to stay offensive now, we are not good enough to sit back and defend for the rest of the game

Alfred Borden

Its like a contest between ourselves and Spurs every week to see who can be the biggest joke :pac:

Team selection was so so wrong tonight. I could smell this happening. Knew we needed Granit back in midfield. Knew we needed to play Bellerin, knew we needed to not play holding. Martinelli had to start up top and have Pepe no where near the pitch.

Arteta is at fault and those players should hang there heads in shame for this performance on a semi final night

FixitFelix

Our midfield is laughable

farna_boy

Was that our first shot from Xhaka?

Decent save from Leno there. The defending in the build-up though, honestly just inexcusable. Not even talking about Arteta, the lack of awareness of space is unreal, it's like they've never done it before.

wonga77

Great save leno, they just walked through the middle there. That would have been tie over

FixitFelix

I see our players have chosen to wear ice skates tonight

At least that's one contest Spurs have a chance of winning

irelandrover

That's terrible by the ref. Foyth injures himself when villareal have the ball and he allows play to continue and then he stops play when arsenal get it.

Mickeroo

Let's see how they take this one away.

Unless he handled it in the build up I doubt they will.:rolleyes:

Good to see we don't have a monopoly on stupid defending.

emmetlego

Peno!

Pepe scores..... Get in!!!

Alfred Borden

MASSIVE!

wonga77

Huge goal

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Ok.

Don't concede.

Jmac24128

My god that is a get out of jail away goal..now dont conceed again...

Worth pushing on. They're giving us a chance.

wonga77

That was some awful penalty too but at least it went in

Azatadine

Hope!

TimeToShine

If we come out of this with 2-1 it'll be daylight robbery, and I'll take it with open arms

Ardennes1944

Please dont concede another, I will defo take 2-1

farna_boy

Still think we need to push on. That team isn't good enough to sit back and defend. Keep the ball and push on and play in their half, we have some hope of holding on or even scoring more

Underground

Semantics here but Karen Carney's pronunciation of names annoys me. Layno (Leno) and Emray (Emery).

Alfred Borden

Emery's changes got us back in the game. What a spoofer.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Push on.

I've only seen the second half but villareal have hardly had the ball.

Mad ould game. :L

emmetlego

A game can turn on it's head in an instant!

That's how you pronounce Leno in German.

They've sat back and tried to keep the 2 - 0 lead. Madness

al87987

That was never a penalty.

Great chance to finish strong here with Capoue getting sent off.

Azatadine

Leno has made some important saves tonight to be fair.

Apparently Martinez's way better then Leno.....

Fair enough, like I said, semantics! Just sounds unpleasant to my uncultured ears.
