Can't believe Santos is left on the bench again, Wenger with his blind faith in Gibbs. Hope it will not cost the team tonight.
He's short of Match Fitness. The Turkish season starts later than the Premiership doesn't it? Not even sure he'd started pre-season so it's not surprising. VERY surprised it's Benayoun over Frimpong. I definitely would have gone defensive for this first leg. Let's hope Yossi's experience helps in this.
TBH I would settle for a draw and no red cards... They just mentioned we offered $40m euros for Gotze in the summer but were turned down by the club. Anyone else hear of this before? If true, it puts a big hole in the doom & gloomer's anti Wenger arguments. Doesn't it?
Is this really Arsenal? I can't remember the last time 11 man Arsenal have been starved of posession by a team other than Barcelona, Man utd or Chelsea
Great take from RVP - Good that the chance fell to him. Szczesny's celebration Dortmund are going to continue to come at us 2nd half. Let's keep up the good work in defence
it was a good celebration, but i still prefer this one: http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lgrn9getd81qflt2bo1_400.gif
I really think Dortmund are giving us too much credit. Decent defence but a more experienced side and the result would be different. I would rather have taken off benayoun instead of walcott for Frimpong. We need to make them do some work at the back so they don't camp at our half.
I don't begrudge Dortmund their goal as it was a cracking shot and we never really deserved the win tonight. Roll on the return leg when we can do them by a few!!!
