    Of course you should! When Untied are in it, you can sometimes think you can go far in the competition, even win it. Not so with Arsenal these days.

    true, true.

    i think the results have shown some naivitiy for both City and Arsenal (although the latter should know better by now). both went into their respective games with far too attacking line ups. Arsenal had Giroud, Welbeck, Sanchez, Ozil and Carzola starting, with only Coquelin who you would consider a proper central midfielder (I assume he's somewhat defensive). they finished the game with 6 offensively minded players. no wonder their defence was stretched.

    City play a 442 against Barcelona for chrissakes. and one of those midfielders is Milner lol.

    Jose has success in Europe because he sets his teams up appropriately. even SAF used to do the same. just bad tactics all round, and in Arsenal's case, a severe misreading of their opposition.

    That sucks. I wanted Liverpool to keep playing these endless series of games called the Europa league in order to wear them out.

    As for Everton, Diggy already made the young boys joke didn't he
