Will Unai Treat Naples like A Home From Home?

Apr 17th, 2019 by 'holic

Finally I can settle down. This could take a while. I am starting the preview of our vital trip to Naples as the games at Citeh and Porto kick-off.

Four paragraphs later there is a massive delete going on. How to put something together at half past ten after after half a litre of dubious rehydration? I’m so glad I have been able to watch Ajax at Bayern, Real, and last night at Juve. They really are a brilliant young side who have the ability to win anywhere. Pray they don’t freeze at the pointed end. They have been by far the best team in this season’s Champions League.

Arguably (and certainly at home!) we have been the best team in this season’s Europa League. However, there is quite a question mark hanging over us as we defend a 2-0 lead in Napoli. Our away form, it is not unreasonably argued, is what could do for us. The win at Watford on Monday, whatever you think of the merits of it, must have delivered some degree of belief on top of the desperately unlucky draw with the Nomads at Wembley and the win at Huddersfield (yeah, I know).

Important players got a breather ahead of this game. We are not in a position to write off any Premier League match while the top four is mathematically ours, but the potential for a third European trophy offers us a back-up option that cannot be ignored. And as Arseblog mentioned this morning it is the preferred of the two options if only one were to be achieved.

We know the last time we played Napoli we won 2-0 at our place, and they won 2-0 at theirs. We obviously are keen to avoid a repeat. One goal from us would require them to score four. Under such circumstances Unai Emery has a remit to look for a first-half goal with an attacking line-up. That’s not to say they can’t score, but neither do I believe we couldn’t strike twice these days if required. Emery understands this.

“We want to play thinking to win, thinking to score, thinking to push, thinking to stop them.”

The selection should be as close as we can get to the home leg. No? Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Alexandre Lacazette were trusted to start together in a formation we rarely employ away from home. Our 3-4-1-2 in a lot of home games switches to 3-4-2-1 away from home too often, and I know Auba can be a great impact substitute, but he could also be a great starter getting us an early goal that would all but kill the tie before Napoli could build a head of steam.

The ‘holic pound

It’s always difficult to predict a game in which a 1-3 scoreline would put us through. Nobody wants that. Will Napoli score? They have to, and they aren’t a bad side. They had their chances at our place and both of us could be said to have been wasteful.

I do still feel there is a spirit in the camp that gives us belief (even if Everton gave the lie to that). I have on occasion plumped for a draw in such circumstances, and I am attracted to the somewhat skinny best of 13/1 against a 2-2 outcome.

With that you have a somewhat abbreviated appreciation of a potentially crucial match for us. The report on the tie itself is likely to follow on Friday. The grand’holics are visiting, which is excellent, and so I will not report live as normally happens when I am not at the game.

Therefore it is already the appropriate moment to wish a very happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it. Thank you for your reading this often nonsense and for your friendship in so many cases.

Have a great one, ‘holics.

    Accurate depiction I would say. Auba to start is my preference over impact sub. Will have a slice of Parma ham pre match to add sustenance. And a Peroni. God bless.

    Between the delete button and the half litre, it came out well, Guv’nor.

    I am still of a mind that the first half against Watford was a tactical dress rehearsal for the Napoli game and that Emery will thus favour stopping Napoli scoring early doors over us going for a quick extension to the lead. This implies starting with 3-4-2-1.

  3. on 18 Apr 2019 at 12:17 am3scruzgooner

    happy easter, ‘holic. that’s an awfully skinny pound, but it gets us through. i hope for the early goal, and then a second…that would put paid to napoli’s pursuit, as i just can’t see us shipping 6.

    i think we should definitely start with the same home leg crew, and just nail the bastards.

  4. on 18 Apr 2019 at 12:20 am4TTG

    I think Ned is right and I think 1-1 is the likely outcome. If we score first I will breathe a lot easier!

  5. on 18 Apr 2019 at 12:35 am5Goonersince54

    Heresy to say it here,but well done to the Neighbors.
    Fantastic result at the Etihad against the billion pound spending oil rich Sheiks,and for what it’s worth i think VAR got both calls right.
    I’ve got a few very good Totts mates,and have been fielding friendly texts and calls ever since the final whistle.
    We now have all the motivation we need in Naples, with the odious ones in the semi final of the CL for the first time since 1962.
    We cannot allow them to strut around North London preening their feathers,while we languish in the EL.
    If we are not in the CL next season i will be very very disappointed.

    Thanks Guvnor, nice preview
    and a Happy Hols to you too.

    3-1 to us as we shred them on
    the break.

  7. on 18 Apr 2019 at 8:31 am7DALM

    all seemingly very confident this morning – I think we need a strong start and to play to our attacking strengths – everything is crossed and I’ll be having a lucky guinness….now where are my lucky pants ?

  8. on 18 Apr 2019 at 8:34 am8iBtM

    You’ve set it up nicely, Holic. I think we’ll score. I think they’ll score, I expect to be sitting on the edge of my seat for, at least, 90 minutes.

    Enjoy the grandkids. Enjoy the game.

  9. on 18 Apr 2019 at 9:54 am9bathgooner

    A very good and carefully measured preview, Guvna.

    Frankly, I have no idea what Emery’s plan for this game will be. I hope he will send out the team that you suggest and try to kill their hopes with an early Arsenal goal. I know that I don’t trust our current defence to keep them out and I suspect he feels the same way. At least the return of Sokratis will stiffen the resolve at the back and fingers crossed that Kos is capable of playing another game so soon.

    We have to score and deep inside I have a voice telling me, “You know, we might even win this game!”

    Happy Easter Holic and I hope that you’re still mending well.

    I can’t recall if you’ve ever put the pound on anything but a win so I’d take a draw but still fancy a 1-0 to the Arsenal.

  11. on 18 Apr 2019 at 12:48 pm11Pangloss

    I’m very much of the same mins as Bath on this one.

    Whisper this, we go into this game on a “run” of two clean sheets. It might just be that our defence is settling in. Of course we might just have been lucky, but even luck tends to come (and go) in streaks.

    As ever, there are plenty of reasons to be pessimistic, but frankly I’m bored with that. 1-0 to Arse say I, and shame about the Pound.

    Hope your planned return on Sunday is still on, ‘H.

    Absolutely devastated to learn that Premier League footballers are going on a social media strike for 24 hours in a protest against racist trolling.

    How the hell will I manage to exist without seeing photos of their bling lifestyles, their dogs or hilarious videos about planned goal celebrations with their current bromantic partner?

    Have a heart lads. Racism might be evil as this hard hitting response that will really teach all potential KKK members a lesson clearly shows, but seriously? I need those self indulgent posts!

    Fingers crossed our off side trap holds up in the second half, Laca’s goal was something else but poor positioning by the keeper. Do hope we get to see Rambo again but his hammys aren’t quick to heal.

    didn’t see the whole thing, but if the last 30 were indicative, we defended well, by and large. whisper it, but 3 clean sheets on the trot…in fact, since we lost to rennes away 3-1 on march 7 we’ve played 7 games and let in 1 goal, losing to everton. and we’ve won the other six games. wow!

    Valencia will be tough, but playing the first leg at home might be very good.
    Just watched the Chelski game’s goals, they were lucky with a couple of theirs, and Kepa is not that good. Frankfurt scored one from clear offside, don’t care much as they are also beatable. One step at a time though.

    this place is a weird place

    did he canvas outside university medical schools
    de target the uber brainy ones inhabit here

    “Hello , my name is Goonerholic . Join me ”
    .
    .
    i know my root here
    through the mighty Arseblog
    a man so clever it must hurt

    ‘holic used to say hello occasionally there
    and for reasons of importance to me
    i stopped reading blogs’ site and
    like a stray mongrel i followed ‘holic home
    and i’ve been a fuckin thorn in the noose round his neck since

    in the same way i don’t /can’t/have no interest in doing similar Arsenal wise on my way walking home from the bar after a game

    but

    what i enjoy about here is – i have been taught so much about tactics . I was and to be honest mostly still am a ROAR AND SHOUT merchant but in the background there’s a wee bit of insight from ‘holic , clive , thunder T and Steve and various others . Proper analysis from people who’ve worn boots . I still think they’re all a big shower of daisies but they’re the kinda daisies i am accustomed to and i would without hesitation buy a pint to – with four straws

    A fine performance and an excellent win. That little voice was correct.

    An interesting bar chart in this otherwise anodyne BBC report reveals that Unai Emery has achieved the most victories in his first 50 games (32) of any manager in Arsenal’s history. Of recent predecessors, AW achieved 23 and GG 27, as did the great HC with George Allison at 28. I didn’t expect that.
