getting 2 goal tonite does NOT balance out shipping 3 goals at the emirates in any way shape or form . Give your selves a mountain to climb , its no good moaning about how steep it is. After the first goal there was hardly any pace or aggression , the passing was sometimes ****in shocking. At the 70 min marker we had STILL only had one shot. Anyone that is actually happy with that as a performance is way out of line. Same old Arsenal , dont start playing till its too ****in late.!!!
As for Arteta, his fouls at the end were stupid and a player of his experience should have known better. Other than that, I think he's a quality player being played out of position. He's not quick enough to be a box to box player and if we're going to continue with a 3 man midfield then I think we need to buy a proper enforcer in that role
Fabianski deserves a mention tonight. He did just about everything right and made a couple of very good saves
Agreed...heat of the moment and shouldn't have said that....BUT was definitely an agenda to make sure Bayern got through
Great performance from him. Has earned his place in the team, and Sagna like Vermaelen has to sit on the bench.
Would give Fabianski the call up. Chez needs to clear his head and be reminded he isn't there yet. Chez and Fabby's best agmes have come when they knew EACH OTHER could replace them if any **** up happens so the compertition is good My MOTM goes to Kos.
He earnt his place in the team in October, shame he hasn't been picked. I wonder who's falt that is....?
Jenko is my new favourite player. Wilshere for captain, Jenko for vice. Wanyama in to replace Arteta, Cesar in goal, Benteke up top... BOSH! Would even take a punt on Torres if chelsea are that desperate to get rid.
He's good to have in the squad, very good back up, experienced, but I do think we need someone with more quality to replace him in midfield as a starter.
Arteta was being a complete cock in the final minutes there. Awards aren't won on coming close and ultimately like last year you blew it in the first leg. Still, you guys don't look likely to be in the CL next year, so that was a very respectable way to sign out if that is the case. No English teams make the quarter final for the first time since 1996, hard to deny we're all getting weaker.
Also, Gerv and Oxo were good when they came on. I'd consider them for the ganme against the sheep shaggers.
WE have to maintain this same intensity to get into the top 4, but our consistency has been off. Again, we will see if we can handle the pressure to capture a top 4 spot.
Top performance lads, Was honestly rootin for you lot. Bayern were ****e, they wouldn't get anywhere near the trophy with performances like that. Shame you didn't build on the momentum after the 2nd goal. It's like they just didn't believe in it, someone like Wilshere would have made a big difference today.
