Still can't believe we let this guy score

Tbf, a worse **** was sitting on the bench. No doubt Greasyman is a little ***** who needs sorting.

***** the lot of them.

Their assistant looks like he's an extra in Narcos.

We're the only British side to win away to Real Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Dortmund and Bayern. Atleti don't know what's coming. They don't know what we're capable of.

Down but not out. It's only half time.

 

[Camus]

Don’t let big score lines against teams like West Ham fool you, for 80 minutes that game was dire.

Yeah we're not in disagreement on that one mate.

At least the boys looked like they wanted to be there tonight. A man got sent off, you usually exploit that with width...... we don’t have 1 winger in the squad.

We just have to face facts, this is as good as it gets at the moment, Özil, welbeck, jack, xhaka and to an extent Rambo have never been clinical players, they apart from Rambo are all poor finishers.... no surprise we don’t kill teams off. Remember when we used to have 2 or 3 players at least in double figures?

I guess there are different ways to show you "want it". I agree that the tempo tonight has been better than in most PL games, but in all honesty we've seen this same type of tempo in all out 1st leg EL games. This is the standard really, it just proves that they're totally indifferent about the league. So personally I'm not going to be pleased because they've decided to play at a respectable tempo, that should be the standard for every game. But for a European semi final against a top class team in an emotionally significant game and when they're down to 10 men for +80mins ? It wasn't enough.

Left, right, left, right, left, right. Swing in a hopeful cross from the byline or the edge of the box. This is my nightmare. I have PTSD from years of games like this against the likes of Sunderland, Blackburn and Co. if they can defend against it then Atletico without a doubt can.

Maybe I have an erroneous understanding, but ordinarily you'd exploit being a man up with width if you've got pace, space and quick switching of play. Slow build up from side to side with the wingers camped in their half with no space to run into behind? No way width can exploit that, Atletico have got all the time in the world to get set.

Laca looks like he has a leap to be fair to him, but if we couldn't do it when we had a lamppost like Giroud then it's insanity to think we could do it tonight. I don't blame Wenger at all for individual mistakes like the one our defence committed tonight, beyond shouldering some blame for buying them I actually sympathise with him when they let him down. But from an attacking sense we need a different approach, a plan B, something beyond slow tedious left right left right aimlessly swing in a cross.

I almost forgot about this, ****ing incredible.

Give it up, we're finished.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Give it up, we're finished.

Never.

Avi bet says we go through?

We only need a goal and the tie is back in our favour, just play Wele up front and he’ll do the rest.

 

[say yes]

I truly feel sorry for Arsène and the whole team. What a botched opportunity.....That truly sucks.

FFs rather Laca be best mates with Hector than this .

 

[Jury]

***** the lot of them.

Their assistant looks like he's an extra in Narcos.

he looks like he was born in the snow and his face used to dig trenches.

 

[Hunta]

I hate home games in European knock out games, the away rule messes me up.

 

[rich 1990]

Never.

Avi bet says we go through?

No. I don't like Taylor Swift.

 

[KrissKringle]

also ospina is just better than cech

That diagonal for Lacazette was magic.

 

[Rex Stone]

I don't get how his name has come up..

I love Giroud, probably more than most, but we've lost European games with him in the side. Do I need to bring up Monaco?

People will soon forget about him when Auba and Laca are scoring for ****s and giggles next season. The future is bright.

Yeah tbf Ramsey did all he could with his header and it was a proper Giroud-esque header from Laca anyway.

Just need to sort it out at the back.

 

[Hunta]

That diagonal for Lacazette was magic.

Pass of the season.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

No. I don't like Taylor Swift.

See, now we got bad blood..

 

[Liam Slamcock]

They’re second in la liga ffs.

2 CL finals in the last 5 years.

Don't think these are particularly great Real Madrid or Barcelona teams right now.

 

[rich 1990]

See, now we got bad blood..

I wish we were out of the woods.
