Lex appreciation thread

[Babun]

4-3-1-2 has a majour weakness in wide areas. A team like Milan with crap fullbacks wouldn't have won 4-0 in the first leg without damaging the flanks. Lex was right and today we saw the proof I wondered in the first game why my and Arq' s prediction didn't come true

Pitch condition DOES matter and the ones who damage them are inferior teams

[Lex]

Put it this way, if the first leg was played on a Emirate quality pitch, i don't think Milan would have walked away with a 4-0 win

The wouldnt , but the wouldnt loose 3-0 either ....

[Lex]

Anyone, game is done. No point in arguing anymore. Just appreciate me in all my handsome glory

I said the same in OP. They wouldn't have won 4-0

What is your case? So essentially, what you're trying to say that is the world's best winger, Walcott, would have had more of a significant effect, oh dear.

[Lex]

Europa games are on Thursday brah, we're discussing the champion's league

[II Capitano]

Oh, the pitch would have had a significant effect on Walcott's performance. Even on a perfect pitch like today, Walcott still proved to be ineffective, just says it all. Ignorance.

[Lex]

He assisted the second goal

Ineffective

[Zealous]

Except Arsenal played like sh*t in Milan so the pitch was barely a factor.

[Adit]

walcott is crap.

but ox isnt

[Adit]

Ineffective

No he didnt ROZZA Scored from a failed clearance of thiago silva.

again if you are saying the cross that cleared by silva was made by lolcott hence an assist...oh dear

[REWB]

Oh, the pitch would have had a significant effect on Walcott's performance. Even on a perfect pitch like today, Walcott still proved to be ineffective, just says it all. Ignorance.

we have other wingers you know but yeah i think injuries got to us, but tbh milan deserved to go through in the end so ill give it to them.

[Lex]

Who put the ball in to the box for Silva to fail at clearing it?

[II Capitano]

walcott is crap.

but ox isnt

Tell that to Lex, who thinks Walcott is amazing. His argument isn't even valid. In the first leg, it was a poor pitch, and Lex is using it as an excuse for Walcott's abysmal performance. Today though, it was a great pitch, where was Walcott though? He was dire throughout, far too many dribbles, trying to be Messi, and far too many dire crosses. Lex owned again.

[Lex]

Walcott ran the Milan back line ragged all game, it's his final ball that was lacking.

Ibra had a far, far worse performance than Walcott

[Be/\/ceCALI]

Walcott's presence alone was making Mesbah sh1t his pants in the first half..

[I Have Mono]

AC Milan don't own the San Siro so they couldn't have intentionally damages the pitch.

Stop being butthurt it is two legs for a reasons and over the course of Both home and away legs Milan won. End of story.

All game? Over exaggeration at its best.

And it has nothing to do with Ibra... Stop making comparisons lol, don't even know where you are going any more.

[Potential]

I just have one thing to say, if the first game didn't finish 4-0 but rather let's say 1-0, the 2nd game would be no where near whats now and Milan would actually play serious rather than just playing because they don't want to disrespect Arsenal.

[The Verminator]

Put it this way, if the first leg was played on a Emirate quality pitch, i don't think Milan would have walked away with a 4-0 win

The wouldnt , but the wouldnt loose 3-0 either ....

What you on about brah? We just played at the Emirates and walked out with a 3-0 win......

[Lex]

This thread had nothing to do with Walcott, so why bring him up? You make the rules up as you go along

[Lex]

Europa league rejects ruining my first ever appreciation thread

[The Franchise]

Meh.

Milan played as most teams do when they have a huge lead going into a 2nd leg...uncertain and afraid a single goal will start a comeback. Thats exactly what happened.

These situations are not a game of quality, but mentality...Arsenal got a goal and believed in themselves..all Milan could do was hold on.

Nothing to do with quality or the pitch.

[II Capitano]

AC Milan don't own the San Siro so they couldn't have intentionally damages the pitch.

BOOM.
