Arsenal take a 3-1 lead into tonight’s Europa League semi-final second leg with Valencia. Will it be enough to see us through to the final on May 29th?
Here are tonight’s official line-ups.

Subs: Domenech, Roncaglia, Soler, Diakhaby, Lato, Torres, Santi Mina

Subs: Leno, Elneni, Mustafi, Guendouzi, Mkhitaryan, Iwobi, Nketiah
No issues with the lineup BUT we’ve said that a few times before shocking performances…let’s turn up tonight
COYG
Plenty of issues with the lineup let’s be real, but that’s as good as we’ve got right now so let’s be as positive as we can!
On a good day it’s a good team
Let’s hope it’s a good day
Come on Arsenal!
Strong team. Hope it’s enough to do the job tonight. COYG
Come on, let’s wash the bad taste of last night.
Do not allow such games on TV! Jesus, childrens watching it…
Such a horrible night, last night.
No mustafi????
But there is the Arsenal
The last four premier league games showed Mustafi is not our only problem
Let’s hope Ozil turns up
He certainly did in the first leg
C’mon The Arsenal! The final in Baku is beckoning.
Gabriel fires a cross in, hits Coquelin in his coq and bundles it over the line for the winner. Most Arsenally way to lose ever. Hope not though. Hope not though. COYG!
Why not the same scenario but as an own goal?
Ok not seeing Mustafi there gives me hope but Xhaka? hmmm…………….
Was great in the first leg and a great passing range. Who is better in that position?
A new signing?

Someone on here yesterday said:
“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more..”
I thought it worth repeating.
COYG!
So do you think Emery’s thinking about our version of parking the bus (which is more like parking two minis, one at each corner flag)?
I wish I thought we could hold them to 1 goal.
Go for the away goal!!! Please don’t sit back and try to defend for 90 mins.
Yes, this seems to be our best side at the moment.
Except with Leno in goal.
On current form Cech is better.
No he’s not
“Ohhhhhh yes he is”! Sorry very nervous….:-)
Hope our players saw the passion of liverpool players vs barcelona. I haven’t seen that at arsenal for a long long time. Hope they play with their heart tonight coz i do feel there is somehow quality in this team but we lack mental strengh and the passion…..
COYG….make us proud…win the europa league and i won’t care whether spurs win the champion league or not.
Lineup looks the best we can do (keeper maybe could be changed)
It’s motivation tonight and need something from Ozil
For me, tonight is all about our three attacking players creating a goal or two?
Like that!!
He at least got the lineup right for what he has available. Pretty sad state of affairs when you look at the bench and who we can bring in to change a game.
I have a feeling that Emery’s future will be depending upon this result.
We go through and win it the premier league shambles will be forgotten – first season settling in jitters.
But if we go out tonight – I cannot see Emery sticking around long…
It’s gone that low that we get Robbie fucking savage commentating….. FFS
Honestly I prefer savage to the others
Deja Vu?
Looking ok so far
For fucks sake why is mkhitaryn coming on?
I’m too old for this
Back 3 is it. Doesn’t matter who but back 3 please.
1) Better balance supporting a high press by two strikers up top.
2) Better support for the midfield and protection in wide areas.
3) Extra man to sweep up if need be.
Having said that, we still (are in the habit) of conceding two goals.
BUt had we played back 4 (like last 4 PL matches) we would have been in trouble.
