    Unfortunate we conceded at the end of the half there.

    Doesn’t really change much. We still need a goal and maybe this will bring us out a bit more.

    Where the **** was Bellerin for that goal ? Shocking defending.

    Still need to score though only 1 now takes it to ET

    The difference in the shape of their team and ours when the other team attacks is ridiculous, they have so much space every time they come forward

    Basically comes down to the way we attack. We push up high look to thread the ball through.

    We should just be more direct. Take players on - shoot from distance. Just be aggressive.

    We haven't been bad at all though - but our lack of tactical adaptability is huge problem in Europe.

    We need dont play at high enough intensity.

    Athletico defend and attack with way more aggression. We could learn from that.

    One of the best things about getting a new manager is we wont have to watch this 'wait until the 65th min' to make a substitution routine any more.

    We need Mkhi on now.

    That's what happens when you have one team who know how to defend and one who hasn't a clue.

    Well, really really disappointing season. I knew we’d fall under Wenger, but I didn’t think it would be this far. 6th place, no trophy, no away points this year.

    Honestly Atletico were just a better team. Tactically, mentally, defensively, everything.

    It’s about rebuilding now which is why it’s so crucial we get the next manager appointment right.

    ****s sake.

    Well that was typical. Our Boss is tactically clueless.
    Now I would love for his time at Arsenal to have ended on a high but that was ****ing ****e.

    We lost this tie because of the manager! This was a tactical disaster. No plan B, Incredbily predictable.

    Didn't expect us to win. Too many frailties. Glad we can get the season over and done now. Want to forget about this as quickly as possible.
