Euro: 2019 Europa League Finals:

Arsenal fans wearing Henrikh Mkhitaryan shirts stopped by police in Baku



This is absolute insanity.

Maybe they were afraid it was the real Mkhitaryan

I'm probably more interested in the trophy than the CL. I mean, I'd love it and the money would help, but I'm honestly not sure we're ready for it qualitywise.

I don't think the squad is ready either but the best way of getting CL ready is to be in the CL :p.

Apparently some of the off season links are interested in joining Arsenal but they are hesitant with no CL

Definitely true. Best way to trend is upwards

I'm definitely nervous about this game. If it were just some decent European team, I would probably be resigned to losing ahead of time and pleasantly surprised for anything better, but the problem is that Chelsea is a team that I feel we very well could beat, perhaps even should if there's any basis to the turmoil there. But turmoil or no, they're still a team that can score goals, especially in light of our back line.

The nervous are definitely at a high. Having Maitland-Niles shadowing Hazard on the wing makes me especially nervous. He has had moments that show he belongs at this level, but they have been inconsistent.

United fan, but this garbage. UEFA seriously needs to rethink where they hold these matches.

Yea but then how would they get all the kickbacks...

I think people sometimes forget that the global economy without kickbacks would descend into chaos just as fast as it would without illegal labour

I think I'll root for Arsenal in this one. They are more fun in Europe (please draw Bayern again) than Chelsea. Plus, it seems that Chelsea missing out on the CL will bring more chaos than it would to Arsenal (possible transfer ban, Hazard Madrid stuff, manager, etc). That could also be fun.

Chelsea have already qualified for the CL for next year

Opps. My bad.

Point remains: Go Arsenal.

I'm pretty sure BT Sport is streaming the game live on their YT page.

Mesut Özil needs to work his absolute hardest too play Emerys high pressing style, keep Jorginho out of the game and supply Aubameyang and Lacazette with scoring chances, if he doesn't put in a performance his future could be questioned.

 

[Chimaera]

Ozil working hard to press?

Really? That's the key to the game? Why go to Baku?

 

[robertmac43]

Also his future is always being questioned, especially after this past year.

 

[S E P H]

Super nervous for this one, I get that Chelsea is going through some motions here and there, but you cannot count out Hazard and Sarri's genius. Losing Ramsey really really sucks because that means Ozil is playing, but if Kante can't play for them I would consider that a wash perhaps even a bigger loss for Chelsea.

TNT lad.

Game's at 3PM eastern, right? ~1 hour from now

Correct!

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Kante healthy? Giroud starting? f*** yeeeeeeee

 

[robertmac43]

Oh jeeze that is a bomb being dropped.... He cannot be 100% though

Even Kante at 75% is the best midfielder on the field.

I think it will be on YouTube as well

I’m watching the pregame on BT Sports 2 then I’ll swith to DAZN for the kick off

 

[David Suzuki]

Kante healthy? Giroud starting? **** yeeeeeeee

Wow lol was the Kante stuff mind games? Awesome!

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Wow lol was the Kante stuff mind games? Awesome!

Nah, I doubt it. They were saying he was a 50/50 - I think the only situation in which he wasn't gonna start was if he was either A. at risk of re-aggravating and being out for far longer if he played or B. gonna be like Diego Costa in the 2014 UCL Final and have to come off after 10 minutes. I was expecting him to start.

 

[robertmac43]

I'm so nervous right now, holy ****. Please give us CL football today

 

[bluesfan94]

If Chelsea wins, where does the CL spot go?
