We would’ve had that Auba chance gone in. Just hit the post again.

1-0 is not a smashing. it's just a win.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

The plan

Not an Emery fan, but they executed their gameplan. Not sure what our was.

is in Arteta's head or on post it notes in his house. There was never a plan that had a chance of working

 

[Papa Wonga]

If Arteta is still in-charge next season, we have no right to be top 10.

He plays the most pathetic style of football i've ever seen.

 

[razörist]

Tbf Arteta sacrificed central midfield against a SPANISH club while he himself is a SPANISH manager. That’s a special kind of stupid. Basically told Partey to do a two person job on his own.

 

[AberGooner]

Let's be honest here, we where lucky to get past Benfica and Olympiacos. Poor first leg with Slavia as well. A small step up in quality with Villarreal and we're out. We can't say that the signs haven't already been there in this competition.

Emery obviously was never the right man for the job but we cruised through to the final under him against better opposition. That says a lot about Arteta's abilities as a manager to me.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Nah I’m gobsmacked. I can’t believe this has happened.

 

[Riou]

He would, you know. He's gettable. I'd take him as well.

I don't think he would.

He's very happy in Leeds, seems like one of those guys who will stay if he's happy...would love him though.

 

[Mo Britain]

Oh it's all because Xhaka got injured he says! Oh that makes sense! That's why we played like a 10th division team and were lucky to lose 2-1 last week!

 

[Jury]

As soon as he started playing Xhaka at LB I knew he was done. Any other midfielder would leave in embarrassment, but Granit knows he's not getting that money anywhere else so he keeps his head down and gets on with it. Arteta knows he'll swallow it too. Cowardism all round at this club.

 

[Charlotte_Gooner]

If you look at the season we played much better with Xhaka and Luis in the lineup. Not having either hurt badly. And Coquelin looked like one of the best defenders in Europe.

I feel embarrassed to be an Arsenal supporter tonight. Winds me up seeing them all looking crestfallen, where the **** were you all???

And this mug in charge my god. We got given a lifeline after a dreadful first leg and that’s your game plan Jesus wept. We spent so long in our own half. Our press is laughable, and the amount of second balls we lose is frightening. Our build up is ****, everyone picks up the ball with no one near them!!!

Then the icing on the cake, we need a goal and he takes off Aubameyang and brings on Willian and Nketiah. Piss off

 

[Moah]

I screamed "25 years" at the end of the game and the dogs ran out of the room and humans came running in.

Humans?

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

We’re cursed in Europe. It always ends in heartbreak.

 

[Kav]

And I give up

I think I may be very close to being done. This team in its present state only rings me sadness and anger.

 

[Anders Harbo]

I simply can not believe, What I have just seen. This is beyond shocking. Our - by far - most important game of the season, and we show no passion or desire whatsoever. If there was any hope before the game, now it’s finally gone. The future looks bleak. This will take a lot of time to recover from.

Is that why this is slow now?

 

[blaze_of_glory]

He only signs 1 year contracts.

Dunno about anyone else but I'd take one non-depressing season right now

 

[Papa Wonga]

Don't even want to see his excuses tonight, if he says we dominated I'll neck myself, live.

 

[guntz]

Martinelli is an absolute fraud.

Why do so many rate him on here? Headless chicken running about. Danny Welbeck would be more productive in this team.
