CL - Monaco v Arsenal - Tuesday 19:45 on ITV with some spicy Pad Thai

the only way the Gibbs sub made sense is if in Wenger wanted to make sure we don't get caught on the counter with a tired Monreal. so i can sort of understand it, especially if we were hoping to get Per up a little more.

We could afford to get caught. Conceding a goal would keep us in the tie if we could score.

Wenger was way too conservative. Ospina had nothing to do in the last half hour, we should have gambled on him and allowed them a chance or two.

Ref was pathetic also

Good, professional performance tonight. Shame we played like amateurs at home.

TBH I thought we were poor for the first 20 mins and the last 15 mins.

We drove at them for a good hour relentlessly though. Shame we couldn't maintain that intensity.

Alexis was poor

Now for the title race

He was terrible. Needs a rest.

we should rest Sanchez for the Newcastle game. he was lacking sharpness today but still gave his all. think he needs to be sent away to Chile tomorrow for a week.

The way we played though has given me some confidence that we can do well against Liverpool, united and Chelsea in the run in

Indeed, if we had only 30 minutes where we were on the back foot in a CL away leg then it's fair to say we've done extremely well.

"We know the quality Mesut Ozil has. When you are playing just behind the striker, in the number 10 position, you must be impactful. He simply hasn't been"

Pat Nevin just before the second goal 😆

Ozil was good I thought, getting more and more involved in the game

dont really feel like giving thoughts on individual players, but

welbeck had a great game. pressed very well, got into good spaces, and could have scored if not for a lucky slide by that bald weirdo defender
kos was a monster. all over the pitch, breaking up counters, only made one or two minor mistakes the entire match
giroud really faded out of the game in the 2nd half, imo
ozil was positive, ran his lungs out
that might have been the worst game alexis has played for us. still should have had a penalty
monreal was great
i understand why ramsey didn't start, but cazorla didn't have much going on in the final third, which is where we needed him. hes so afraid to shoot, and often only shoots when he is being closed down by 3 guys

anyway, who gives a shit. its over. 2nd place and the FA cup now.

Ray

Almost identical to Chelsea PSG, 3-3 to a French team on away goals.

Captain

Ozil was fine until the last 10mins when he was knackered.

If more of our players were as smart as him, we would have won 7-0.

I genuinely don't.

Not one single player in that team tonight can cross a ball for shit. Not any of the fullbacks, not Sanchez, not Welbeck, not Ozil - it's a fucking joke. If Bellerin is like Kieran 'the biggest waster in the world' Gibbs and crosses like a little girl after 5 years in the team, I'll cry.

You don't think it's got anything to do with him coming back from injury?

IBL

It was Ozil's pass to Monreal which lead to the second goal, a pre-assist if you will, Scholes fails to mention this.

Alfonso

Gutted, absolutely gutted.

evoh

No point in moaning we can still get the FA cup and push on into second. Can't feel bad when I have seen that exact same tie over the past few years at this stage
