GWT: Europa League - 2022/23 Group Stages

[hatterson]

Ronaldo could have had like 4 goals in the second half. Just can't buy one.

 

[Venkman]

Nice finishes by Rashford and Martial. Both should start against Everton.

 

[Jussi]

Yeah, he's definitely warming up. Needs that one direct-play goal to pop the ketchup bottle.

 

[Mount Suribachi]

I like Malacia but he hasn't been good recently.

Yeah, he's looking like a player with a world class attitude, but championship level ability.

 

[cgf]

So apparently Sheraldo "better than Nkunku" Becker scored the winner against Malmo despite us being down to 10 men; before getting subbed out for Thorsby 26 minutes into stoppage time...

Looks like I missed some s***

 

[bluesfan94]

Arsenal looking very dominant and probably should be up by more than 2. Nketiah continues to be phenomenal in cup competitions.

 

[bluesfan94]

Looks like Arsenal is prepping Odegaard, Saka, and Jesus for an appearance. Not sure why we're putting him on but oh well. I hope Nelson and one or both of Cirjan and Smith get a chance to come on. Guess it can't be all 3. Interesting decision by Arteta. I don't mind Saka coming on with the chance to score a goal and get going (although it should be said that Saka has a bunch of assists even as he hasn't been looking phenomenal)

Good save there by Turner. Arsenal not nearly as dominant in the second half as they were in the first

I guess I can also understand Jesus if you're wanting to see what it looks like for him to play on the left and Nketiah up top. But I don't really see the need for Odegaard to come on and would much rather give Cirjan or Smith some minutes

Agreed. I would rather have him well rested for Sunday.

 

[bluesfan94]

And now White instead of Cedric. I guess they want to see him on the left? I would personally rather put Nelson on and left Saka play LB.

Oh well, as long as we win today, no one gets hurt, and we look good Sunday, all is well.

 

[bluesfan94]

Nelson on, good.

Jesus is just so good.

 

[Savi]

Union SG with 2 very late goals to win at Braga, they're now 3-0 in the group with two home games left. Looking really good for them.

 

[LOGiK]

hahaha Ronaldo shrugged in disbelief about 15 times in that omonia match.

 

[maclean]

bump

 

[Rob]

Arsenal playing at Bodo which is technically in the arctic circle.

Looks like Jesus won’t be available. I would prefer they start as many bench players as possible.

It’s pretty normal weather at this point though. If the game were to be played one month from now it certainly would have been a lot worse. Got bit of lucky there.

Expect the team to look similar to the previous game against them. Would like Saliba in there since i fear they will be more threatening in the final third on their homeground.

Well due to the high number of games they have in the next four weeks I hope they test as many as possible

Both Odegaard and Vieira at the same time. Looks like a pretty offensive side from what i can tell.

 

[bluesfan94]

Love that Nelson is starting. A little surprised Marquinhos isn't

 

[bluesfan94]

Saka is heating up.

Would like to get a couple more goals and get at least Saka and Odegaard off the turf.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Goal of the year by Saka!

 

[Savi]

Union SG v Braga another crazy game, Union really are a must watch

 

[bluesfan94]

We don't look great but we're up 1-0 in a fairly tough road game. Not sure if it's the turf, the cold, the match congestion or just a bad day, but our touches look off.

But beyond that, our defense just doesn't look cohesive. I think we're missing having a second left footed CB to partner with Holding. Not that I love Mari, but I wouldn't have minded keeping him around as cover.

 

[bluesfan94]

Not pretty, but a win is a win at this point. Win the next one and we're basically through. Could be guaranteed if PSV doesn't win this afternoon

 

[Evilo]

Rennes is through and Nantes is basically out.
Nantes lost and didn't replace Kolo Muani and clearly they have no business playing the EL this year.
