Also, if they lose the ball and we make two or three passes, Mertesacker doesn’t want to stay high up, so they go back in their box and defend there. Arsenal will try long balls to Giroud. Cech will not play the ball to defenders, he will try long balls to Giroud. We have to defend well and be ready for that.” Funny that Arsenal have to play the Chelsea way to succeed in big games
You're living in the past Drogs. We're the new kings of the Bus. You lot are conceding an average of 2/3 goals per game these days
Being boring and ultra-defensive is the Arsenal way. Wenger's a blip. Having said that, I've little sympathy for Guardiola. He seems to moan his arse off whenever anyone does anything that might prevent them losing heavily against his sides. Perhaps he'll have a little more understanding of it if/when he takes a job at a club that's not an absolute banker for the title?
We can't even call Chelsea's old farts buses anymore. They look more like circling horse wagons these days. And their matches resemble this... please log in to view this image
It's a pretty long blip though. Wenger's been around longer than some clubs have existed. I think Arsene is mentioned in the Domesday book. "And ye olde Arsene of Londonne voyeur is" Yes... Yoda helped write the Domesday book. Point being though you can't really call anything Wenger does "a blip".
Bayern 1 v 0 Arsenal Oh, dear! This is looking like yet another humiliating "wum fail" by PIXIE! I hope that the inevitable ridicule he has to endure, after this, doesn't force him underground for the next few days.
Whatever Arsenal's supposed tactics were, they ain't working! 2-0 down and still under siege. If it was a fight, they'd think about stopping it!,..
2-0 Poor tactics from Wenger. If Arsenal had played their natural game, I think Bayern were there for the taking. Instead sitting back has just not worked, and since going 1-0 down they have no plan B to get back into the game.
. As oppose to being **** and winning **** all being the Spurs way They are relentless. It's hard to watch against your own team, but Bayern are an extremely impressive outfit. I think we need a fleet of routemasters and the entire Wall of China to keep these lot out !
Don't take it out on me cos you're getting battered! Or you could have bought a few more players in the summer, rather than sitting on the money...
