Looking forward to the game, big ask to pull it off but we are not really expecting to. We can score 3 goals, but can we not conceed at the same time, I'm not sure...

Huge ask....but we created plenty of chances in the first game so IF we can be uber clinical in the 18 yeard box there's a chance. Monaco played well at The Emnirates but we gifted them more goals than they created! And we're not talking the Westfalenstadion either....we're talking a 20,000 seat stadium more suited to athletics than football.

It's not a great stadium at all & i'd comfortably say thet there will be more Arsenal fans there than Monaco fans.You just got to get at them & put that decent centre half they have under pressure.

Good luck .

Yes I was lucky enough to be there when Chelsea played Monaco back in the days of the Tinkerman which gloriously they totally fked up! Can't be a less intimidating place to go.

Agreed, feeling quite relaxed about the game really!

Good effort, bloody frustrating that suicide third goal at home. I would have liked the Roy of the Rovers ballinto the middle to have started about 10 minutes before it did though.

Still can't make my mind up about Ozil.

Absolutely that.

We got a critical goal in injury time at The Emirates and then the shameful utterly shameful way in which we allowed Monaco to get the third is unforgivable.

Tonight we played reasonably well but again Giroud was profligate in his finishing highlighting the fact that at the absolute highest level he just isn't up to it. Walcott was anomomous when he came on and Alexis had possibly his poorest game in an Arsenal shirt.

The rest of the team can be very proud of their efforts. Particular credit goes to Ozil, Cazorla and most notably Monreal who has to be the most improved Arsenal player this season, he was outstanding.

Big ask and sadly not to be but, still a close run thing. The damage was done two weeks ago.

Nightmare at The Emirates cost them this tie...plenty to be proud of tonight.

Alexis needs a rest....without him we'd be nowhere in the PL thanks to his efforts before Xmas but he looks utterly fked.
