    Wenger cost us this game by putting van persie on the bench.

    Not a must win game.
    Why would we risk KOing him for the season to win a game of low priority

    A little disappointing but 4 points from Marseille isn't bad! We should still qualify.

    Same thing happen last season that made us to face Barca in the last 16. Why resting players while they are on form?

    Not a great result but you could see the players were feeling the after effects of the game against Chelsea. Nothing else to say except that we will have to win against Dortmund.

    Well that was a bit of tame affair after the Chavs game.

    Still another point towards qualification -
    and we've got the better head to head against Marseille.

    Meh. Wenger said he wanted 4 points of this team and he got it. Also bored to death of playing against OM. Always set up for the counter so not easy to play against. Nice to see the back of them.

    The lads looked tired tonight to be honest. On a positive note our defence looked mostly solid. Mertesacker really does make us look much less vulnerable from set pieces. Hey ho, not a bad result.

    the thing that worries me is the total lack of creativity.

    If a team puts up a stubborn defence , we dont seem to know how to crack a way in .

    I hope thats just a blip of a performance.


    Dont wanna see that again against Dortmund.

    Few points:
    Apparently Ramsey looked tired
    Arteta has played a lot of games, surprised he didn't get a rest
    Santos got SLATED on 5Live - Lee Dixon was livid with him
    Park also got slated by the other commentator who described him as "just not very good." - Completely unnecessary
    Apparently the Chelsea fans were singing about Anton Ferdinand

    TV had another 90 minutes. Looked sharp today. Great to have him back.

    Marseille have won their last 3 away games in the group stages. They are a team set up to counter so beating them was always going to be a tough ask. That Ramsey winner was so damn important.

    If doubt RVP would have made the defens e
    It always looked like it would be a draw
    Besides if RVP played and we drew I be you'd be slating AW for playing him
    We beat BvB or we are through to the next round

    No, I can't agree with that.

    The Premier league game against WBA is more important and RVP should start that one. I think Wenger was right to rest him for this game, he needs to have a break at some stage.

    We're top of the group and nice though it would have been to have qualified tonight, 3pts against WBA is more of a priority.
