UCL 25/26

USArsenal

Yeah, but PSG went into full beast mode last season at this time, so at least we lost to the eventual winners. Atletico are a different animal. I'd rather play them than Barca. (again, IF we get past Sporting)

awooga83

USArsenal I think we are probably in a worse statev ourselves. I think I'd rather play athletico too, I just still think we might get beat

USArsenal

Yeah, we arent the same team now as we were when we thumped them in the group stage

lorddulaarsenal

Nor are they. Lookman improves them massively

Gazza M

amazing to think we bullied atleti and bayern earlier this season.

lorddulaarsenal

Gazza M and had a spell where teams struggled to get a shot on target against us.

How can we get back to being like that?

JazzG

Gazza M Just a team who have lost confidence unfortunately at the worst possible time!

Claudius

lorddulaarsenal with a more stable lineup, probably

Coombs

Claudius manager's fault it isn't stable

Claudius

Coombs lol. No it isn’t. I’m sure you think Arteta is at fault for just waking up in the morning or showing up at London Colney.

Coombs

This was a fantastic day of football. Arteta looking more and more like a stubborn fool.

TambourineMan

Watching other teams play pains me. How can they be so fluid whilst we are so stiff? I hate our football and this is not reactionary - I've felt this way all season (and for most of the last 2 seasons). It's just not a style of football that brings me enjoyment, trophies or otherwise. With trophies, it would be bearable but without....

Ahhhh this club is killing me, man. I need to step away, real life is hard enough without adding 6he stress of things you can't control.

Arteta just needs better depth to deal with injuries.

Claudius

QuincyAbeyie depth helps. But injury distribution doesn’t help. If all your right backs are unfit. Not helpful. If Saka, Odegaard and Eze concurrently unfit. Unhelpful. Nobody cares if the unfit player is Jesus or Mosquera. That’s the issue

banduan

the fact that Pool were so much better last night only showed how ridiculous they were last week.

Qwiss

banduan Liverpool 2-0 down played with the handbreak off and went at PSG and the people of OMIT are amazed. What did they think they were going to do? Play for a draw? And yet Liverpool still didn't really create that many clear cut chances. PSG in the second half also sat and waited to spring their trap on Liverpool and it worked a treat.

Bernard Woolley

Claudius Except that it's not a one off. Saka and Ode's constant injuries are caused by them being run into the ground for 3 years now. Same with White at RB. It's anything but unforeseeable that they would be in bad shape. It's a miracle that Gabriel and Saliba have not run into injury issues yet.

Just a team run to the ground mate sorry to say

lorddulaarsenal

Barca played some slick footy but ultimately they are out

JazzG

Gunner89 Not wrong, I said it earlier this season that the amount of injuries we get is ridiculous and even with the depth we are struggling. I don't see our style as being particularly aggressive either so I'm not entirely sure if it is down to training methods, lack of rotation or injury prone players. Possibly a combination of all.
