Europa League 2018/19

What a start. Roncaglia lucky not to give away the pen there

Bit of a bizarre sentence, tbh.
Franfurt have been sensational this season, but we say this because going into the season their first objective would have been to avoid relegation (as often poor clubs who overachieve their way into EL, as Eintract did with their cup win, struggle badly the next season), especially having lost their coach.

But Chelsea is a European top club, with a top squad full of stars and atop manager who, even if they're sometimes a bit lukewarm, has still playing them very good.
That's a whole different level of power and quality.

Would be very surprised if Eintracht can keep this close tbh.

Valencia!!!!! 0-1

Did I say we'd win? Obviously meant we'd lose 1-0 (or 5-0, at this rate).

Congratz Valencia on reaching the final.

Lacazette got this

Wow. That's a dark yellow by Christensen

YES LACA

Holy shit. Two great opportunities already for Eintracht. They need to start converting them ffs

KOSTIC TO JOVIC GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

LACAAAAAAAAAAA

2-1

Pedro 1-1

ref has been pretty questionable here

Said to my mates even 15 minutes before the equalizer that I already feel I'm going to get super mad this evening, ref clearly wants Chelsea to win. Disgrace.

Arsenal grew in confidence after their goals and looked in control going into half-time, but this defence ffs. Never too far from conceding a stupid foul and just doing something stupid in general.

Feel like we need to win at least 4-1 tonight.

yea 4-1 minimum

In that case it is a poorly elucidated sentence.

Because by team I refer to the collective. I refer to what they are capable of and how potent they have looked at their best and the situations they have overcome.

Chelsea on the other hand bar a promising start to the season and a highly lethal Hazard all season, have been relatively stale, inconsistent but predictable at the same time.

They have reached their ceiling.

I just would personally fear Eintracht against my team more.

Frankfurt pinned back and desperately holding on

they won't be able for long the way it looks

State of Uefa when Parejo gets yellow from that.

Sarri is unbelievable

He has his subs fixed no matter who plays how

He always does this

Kovacic on for Loftus-Cheek who probably was the best player on the pitch

Just when Frankfurt are starting to get a second wind

3-1

GET IN

Get engaged with a woman who loves you such as Emery loves Europa League

In the end, fair result.
Frankfurt who were clearly the better team 1st half seemed like they could collapse badly and concede a few more after 60 minutes or so, when they were being dominated thoroughly by Chelsea, but then had another couple of really great chances to score towards the end.

Looking like an English final then

Thanks to Valencia being content to lose 2-1, we had control of the second half and deservedly got the third goal. Hopefully we go to Spain looking to score, as we did against Napoli, and not go full Emery. Never go full Emery.

Valencia don't score much, but they only need to win 2-0. Not impossible by any means, especially against us.

prospect of losing to Chelsea in the final makes me nervous

The way the top four is going, the final will end 1 all after two own goals. No one wants CL this season.

*sighs* Kovacic, my son, I think it’s time you return to Dinamo Zagreb.
