Mirth
We did it once at home. We had to park the bus away to repeat the trick which we weren't going to do today.
daredevil not really the point is it. We’ve faced some good attacks in the league - trying to pretend we haven’t is absurd
Mirth They are not even the best. If we look at the stats properly, just 2 months ago before they played 2 relegation fodder and stat pad 15 goals they were average. People just making excuses for our own mistakes
Another loose pass from Saliba
Our CBs have cost us
Madrid are 2–1 up on City as well now
Bring Jesus on. Martinelli won't get any change in this game. Save him for the away leg.
Think we'll need Trossard's iciness as well.
FEBravo
Should have started ahead of Martinelli.
Kiwior is so bad this half. Reminds me of Gibbs vs Monaco
The crowd has been shit as well. Look at that from Saka and Haverz, absymal
I think Tomi is gonna have to come on after the half. Kiwior is gonna struggle the rest of the game with Sane.
USArsenal yeah Kiwiors got to go off. I like the guy but he's looked terrible against Porto too. Think the occasion is too big for him.
Forgot how much I despise Harry Kane. One of the biggest cheats around, plays for the foul 90% of the time.
We have of course, but none as good as this one, which you seem to agree with.
Kiwior at LB can't work in a high intensity, end-to-game. Hasn't got the mobility needed.
Might see Kiwi off for Tomi
We’re barely considering our left wing (Martinelli). Not sure if that’s to keep the ball away from Sane, but it’s odd.
MistaT It's because Kiwior's useless going forward so it leaves Martinelli 1 vs 2.
Qwiss not the occasion. The pace of Sane. He simply can't keep up. Should've held him once he got turned but for some reason allowed it to become a footrace which put pressure on the whole team falling back until Saliba succumbed and fouled Sane.
Qwiss he's just not a LB. We all praised him for being adequate but when I look back at all the matches he played well he hasn't faced a proper winger.
daredevil We also haven't been as shit. We've conceded two goals from players running in a straight line from pretty much the halfway line. Almost three.
The problem is absolutely not Bayern being too good. We're just shitting the bed here. Need to get a grip and play our game.
On the plus side, at least the forum seems to be holding up.
We do have a lot of inexperience in this competition. I think it's showing a bit with how over eager we are and less assured than in the league. Hopefully they can work through it.
I'd take a draw right now.
Panda Agree the inexperience is showing, but we can still put two or three past these in the second half. Need to settle down and make some adjustments.
Arsenal + Europe = Shotgun + Foot.
Same as it ever was.
RocktheCasbah was hoping Arteta could channel the spirit of George Graham.
Glass half-full - still got 135 minutes to sort this out!
