Arsenal vs Bayern (A), Wednesday 20h00 GMT, Champs League QF

lorddulaarsenal

Clrnc no depth, knackered players with not enough quality in the attack - needs addressing this summer

Clrnc

lorddulaarsenal what's the use? We say the same thing every year and we over spend every year to the same result.

This is the squad everyone here said has better depth and big improvement from last year

Meatwad

lorddulaarsenal
so same as last year and the year before then?

mdgoonah41

hell of a final kick of the game there.

FEBravo

Can’t even get a corner in the box. And that’s our franchise player

FEBravo

Big Willie clearly that theory is now debunked

Maybe Arteta swapped those nudes for Havertz' nudes?

Lukazan

What a fitting last kick. Paid all that money and you can't even beat the first man from a corner. Pathetic Saka.

naz

Toothless, useless and ineffective. We deserved nothing from that

lorddulaarsenal

Clrnc well we have definitely improved on last year just not the full ticket

Meatwad

losing to a fired manager.

GooneriC

Losing to a weak Bayern squad , what the hell was that last 10 minutes? Shocking football , no pressure on them at all.

Clrnc

GooneriC an injury hit Bayern at their lowest for a decade. They didn't even need to play well, we just didn't turn up

awooga83

lorddulaarsenal how have we improved?

Clrnc

It's the same as Porto, Lens performance. We barely tested the opponent keeper again and is just content with passing around without threatening

mdgoonah41

Clrnc this is the result of of your team tactics being some kind of advanced calculus. its almost like we are embarrassed to just play direct, foot on the gas attacking football. we finally have a strong centerback pairing and solid midfielders, but we give teams an easy out and let them sit in while we play 400 sideways passes per match

Claudius

Bayern are impressive. They played well.
We lack bite in the final third. We really need to look at left 8 and the forward positions. The way that Musiala and Sane can beat a man and Kane can play point. We needed the same ability.

Congrats to the guys for getting this far

lorddulaarsenal

Claudius yep good assessment - Bayern have top quality so no shame in going out to them but it’s frustrating that we played without adventure and looked void of ideas

Gazza M

Claudius they're really not. they've been picked apart in the bundesliga by teams that actually had a go at them. we helped them massively by how passive we've been in both legs. Porto were better

CL quarters is about par for this team. the wheels coming odd the season entirely is the bigger concern

lorddulaarsenal

Meatwad well not exactly - last few years the defence needed addressing as well as the attack

daredevil

Entirely predictable outcome. Only god knows why we were favourites.

Produced a better performance than I expected, and hopefully it gives us some experience for the future.

Also, it's clear a number of players aren't good enough at this level, but I'm not gonna lay in to them because we aren't shopping in Harrods, despite how much we've spent.

awooga83

Awful and I'm sorry but they're are questions for me about Arteta and his level. In Europe a loss to lens, drew PSV, beat Sevilla, lost Porto and lost Bayern. That is a pretty awful outcome in Europe and another big game away we struggle to win. I don't know if he's good enough to learn he might have to abandon his defence focused tactics. It's not getting us over the line

Claudius

lorddulaarsenal yup. I would immediately replace members of our starting lineup with Neuer, Kimmich, Goretzka, Musiala, Sané and Kane. They all have so much ability and qualities we would benefit from. So we were beaten by a strong team. By the solitary goal over 2 legs. Frustrating but I’ll take it.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I don't think it will ever happen for us.

We run out of gas every run-in because we don't have squad filled with players of the requisite quality. Not only have we made mistakes with recruitment for the first eleven and need to rectify those, we also still need to spend another £300m on the squad.

Qwiss

She bs were terrible. Havertz moved back into midfield just gave up the game. It's the exact same move that cost us the Villa game. Trossard for Martinelli was wrong too, we needed to run at them. Both were crap when they came on.
