Loss Bayern Munich 1 - 0 Arsenal | Wednesday 17th April | KO: 20:00 BST | TNT Sports

No nostalgia. No crying. No excuses.

Let’s just go out there and ruin someone’s night particularly Harold’s one please:

Martinelli G.Jesus Saka
Jorginho Ødegaard
Rice
Tomiyasu Gabriel Saliba White
Raya​

Bayern 0-2 Arsenal (Teta Luck remontada word to @Makingtrax )

 

[TheDrunkenMaster]

Don’t know why people are turning on Saka when he’s supported by players like havertz, Martinelli and rice.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Not even trying to overreact but this we reached a QFs so we should be content nonsense is kind of papering over the cracks.

We had a Europa level group then got Porto in the round of 16 and crumbled when we faced the first half decent side. AW would have done this years ago had he not faced two of the best sides we’ve seen in a long time. Peak Barcelona and Bayern.

 

[Blaziken]

All I ask for is one cl in my lifetime sigh

Won't happen

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

At the end we had an easy group and won vs Porto on pens.

Really nothing special.

At least we didn't f**k that up we f**ked up in 1st leg anyway in space of 10 minutes

 

[Blankety Blank]

Bayern deserved it 2nd half. We looked tired & their experience told.
What I will say is they got the decisions. Lots of freekicks went their way & joke not getting a corner. However we never created enough.
Out of our attacking players only Ode was decent both halves.

 

[Buhry]

Thing is I don’t see us spending the money for a killer up top and some wingers it’s will probably only be one of the 3.

Then the cycle will repeat

That havertz 70 million signing is gonna prove to set us back years tbh. As many people said. Wrong signing for a huge price. He's done ok enough but he is what he is and the people buying him should have known

 

[GDeep™]

Do you think he's just too rigid?

Yeah, predictable too. Maybe not good enough for the highest level.

I would sack him in the summer.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Arteta looks so far out of his depth right now. He's not ready to win the big trophies without adding more tons of quality.

The issue is whether he can be trusted to add the right players and use the squad and integrate youth. Maybe he has hit his ceiling.

 

[MikelHadADream]

A “clinical finisher” wouldn’t have done anything tonight, we didn’t create a chance.

Did anyone really think we would create anything when we went a goal down. Super easy game for Bayern that they didn’t break sweat.

 

[SA Gunner]

Then the cycle will repeat

Well we’ve seen a change in our spending habits since Arteta has come in. Which tells me don’t rule out anything.

Let’s see what the summer brings.

 

[Big Poppa]

Ffs at least put Nelson or smith rowe on instead of Eddie at least they can dribble a bit

Yeah I was surprised not to see Nelson at least. We need a different profile to vary our attack. It’s frustrating that some of our shadow players were given a confidence boost against Luton pushed back into the wilderness after that.

 

[Makingtrax]

Lot of over reaction on here. That Kimmich goal would have carved any team apart. Blaming Saka is hilarious.

 

[ASIF]

Disgraceful performance.Bayern did nothing to win both the match we played right into there hands.Even after conceding we showed no urgency.Atleast city n madrid ll go into extra time n might tire city.

 

[King87]

Saka is really dumb at times, not sure he's as good as people rate him

 

[MartiSaka]

Not comfortably.

They couldn’t counter attack consistently until we had to chase the game. We played very well for most of this match.

At this level, you have to put away your chances. And no, we didn’t just create one chance, we had a good few. And I’m referring to box entries here.

I feel they had it under control even if they couldnt counter effectively until the goal. To me we never looked like scoring, however, they looked far more likely to score even without the counter threat.

 

[DanDare]

Looks like Mick has taken us as far as he can. He can’t get over the next level.

This is perhaps fair but at the same time. The next level all have someone like Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, De Bruyne etc.

Think any manager isn't winning anything with us unless we get a couple of top players one in CM and one in attack.

 

[Bradpiff]

Well we’ve seen a change in our spending habits since Arteta has come in. Which tells me don’t rule out anything.

Man I hope so we can only pray

That true but we should done better 1st leg I felt we throw it away would have huge going to Munich with goal advantage at least

 

[Batman]

Knee jerk.
Two evenly matched sides, one competing for two titles and one with nothing but champions league. Bayern are the more experienced side and it showed over two legs. Just!

Keep some perspective ffs. We’ve come a long way and we’ll learn from it.

Great season, even if we win nothing at this stage.

Us bottling at the same stage of the season for the last 3 seasons is not knee jerk. Maybe you like making excuses, I like winning things. The perspective is really simple, we had a weak team in front of us that was there for the taking, took a lead against them and then crumbled. We had a clear chance to control our destiny winning the league and played exactly the same way against a team we had already lost to, and lost again. There's nothing knee jerk about being tired of seeing the same thing over and over again over a period of years. If you're happy with bottling, you enjoy it. I have standards and I'm not lowering them for your benefit.

 

[goons]

We were never winning this competition this year anyway. It took what, 7 years for pep to win it with city? We’re just getting started. Already looking forward to next season.
