We have got to believe we will play better otherwise what's the point. At least we have control of the tie. They have got to make all the running.
Didn’t see your game tonight, but assumed you were in control looking at the stats. I take it that wasn’t the case then? Would the game have gone differently if Deeney wasn’t a ballbag and stayed on the pitch?
Every game is different. I prefer to play first and then talk.

If we concede early, we're losing the tie. It's beyond me really how we can be so horrid on the road.
Napoli are an attacking team who love to hog the ball and I'm pretty sure we'll come in for a sustained barrage. With teams like Bate Borisov and Rennes turning us over away from home recently, I can see how we won't get battered at Napoli. Even Liverpool got battered there earlier in the season and Liverpool are different class from us.

If Deeney had not been sent off, I don't think there is a shred of doubt in anyone's mind that Watford wouldn't have turned us over.
I can see us scoring and then Napoli will need 4, as long as we get a goal we should get through. Expecting an awful performance though.
Ok so we didn’t create chance after chance in the 2nd half then?!. Get some of your point, we weren’t brilliant. This was never gna be an easy game. They lost a striker so it didn’t do a lot to their team shape. Watford hadn’t lost in 5 at home, was never going to be a walk in the park.
We're going to banter our way to the final purely on home form.
I have us down for a nervy 2-1 loss in Naples.

Battered 1-0 with a last minute goal... granted they were better than us, but battered?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
14 shots to 4. 5 shots on target to nil. 57% possession to 43%. Yes, battered. I guess the term is subjective, so I'm not sure why you seem distracted by that peripheral point.
Definitely weren’t battered. We had more of the ball, and could have scored more if we could shoot straight. It felt worse at the time, but we weren’t truly hanging on for a long periods. More couple moments of dodgy defending which gave them chances. And On the whole we did alright defending in the air
For sure it wasn’t a good performance from us at all. We got a bit lucky and We should have controlled the game much better. But not sure us getting battered is a fair reflection
14 shots to 4. 5 shots on target to nil. 57% possession to 43%. Yes, battered.

Did you watch the game? So this kind of stats means that a team was battered?
A bit silly IMO.
Europa is different from premier league. Last year we did better away in europa compared to the league

You mean the Europa where Bate Borisov and Rennes recently turned us over at their home? Nah, I would say the recent trend gives the same cause for worry.

Wow massive overreaction. Granted we didn't play particularly well last night but we won and that is all that matters.
I can't for the life of me see how playing relatively poorly against Watford means that we will automatically get badly beaten in the following game. Football just aint like that as if it was then we'd have got hammered by Napoli last week as the previous game we played terribly against Everton.
We hold a 2-0 lead and Napoli will be wary of us as they will know that we dominated them and should have won by more. We usually score and if we do Napoli will need 4. Our defence has improved recently (can't be bothered to look up the stats but trust me it has) so I have every faith that we'll get through the tie.
As an aside, if you can get this angry over a win can I suggest that following a football club aint the right hobby for you?
The first goal is major on Thursday. If we score first then Napoli need 4 and it could then kill the tie. (could)
If Napoli score first then battle stations people, we are in for a ride.
If we get to HT at 0-0 then I think that'll give the team confidence to hang on.
Personally I think we should play positively and try and get that early goal. I think we will get an early goal. Then Napoli's heads will drop until half time followed by a second half onslaught.
I think Napoli 2-1 Arsenal at the end and we go through

I'm thinking 2-1, 3-1 Napoli. Basically if we score we go thru. I'd attack them
Calm down. Napoli were better than us but we weren't battered.
Just admit you got a little carried away and exaggerated a bit to make Arsenal's job look that bit harder.
You know it's true.
Arsenal will score, and we'll go through.
Fat Deeney's fat mouth and elbow gave us a pass. Had we lost drawn that game then I'd be worried about getting hammered at Napoli. Not bothered at all that we were shocking on Mon. Away at Watford was always going to play out like that. Personally I think it's a big result. Most of all because we got through it without any casualties and barely in 2nd gear.
We'll get a very different Arsenal performance tomorrow night. No doubts that it'll be anything other than the tie wrapped up by a Ramsey away goal in the first half. Could see Napoli take a good beating if they go for broke but if not I think we'll still be good another goal later on from Laca or PEA. I expect Napoli to score but they'll not be able to score enough.

I'm not sure. Napoli at home are a very dangerous side. No way Arsenal win or draw this game for me. Just whether you can get that away goal which means they have to score 4, and even then, I think they can score 4 against you.
