Down but not out. Yet. Mertesacker: "We need to bounce back and put away negative energy."

Right on cue, Per.

That was a loooooong game. Özil and Cech with great performances in a difficult match. Coq and Giroud also did reasonably well all things considered. Apart from that, not toooo many positives to take from the game really. We looked way too open in defence, allowed Bayern too much time and space, and even if we occasionally looked dangerous going forward, we also always looked like conceding another goal or two... But hey, onwards and upwards, think we'll see a much better performance against Sp**s at the weekend.

Last but not least, I will say that Hector Bellerin is vital to this team. I really, really hope he is available for the NLD. His pace helps no end, especially beside Mertesacker

Wenger says Bellerin won't recover in time to face Tottenham on Sunday. Koscielny might.

Awful week at work and wedding is not far away now so lots of stress. Bloody Arsenal meant to help!

Congrats! Don't worry about what is just a game in the end, you got real life to take care of. Just enjoy the good games, forget the bad. We all love this stuff but it doesn't really mean anything. That's kind of what's great about it.

 

[Furious]

German press never forgave him for turning down Bayern for Real Madrid.

Think so as well. He'd be unstoppable for them, more so than now.

 

[say yes]

Performance was nowhere near as bad as the scoreline suggests.

Horrible either way though.

 

[rich 1990]

Scratch anything nice I said about Debuchy beforehand. The bloke can **** off to holy hell. Prick.

Arsène: " We were extremely poor. Defensively I didn't recognise my players today".

Oh dear.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Whats the desire after that? Not going to win the cuo are we and itll damage the league campaign?

Just treat it as a kiddie cup, surely?

i love spicy wenger.

 

[Praetorianvs]

Douglas Costa is the player I hope Ox will be-pacy, direct, brilliant technique, thunderous shot - for 30 mi.l euro quite a bargain.

Have no idea what happened to Debuchy-before his injury he was really solid. Now he just looks totally off...

 

[Rimaal]

And to be completely honest, it took me a while to forgive Özil for picking Real over Bayern. It took me all of 2 weeks, which is a very looooooooong time considering I've loved the man since 2008.

 

[MaraDon]

Douglas Costa is the player I hope Ox will be.

keep dreaming.

 

[General]

The score was very harsh and we got punished for some woeful marking and defending, especially on the right with Cambpell once again blowing with barely half an hour gone on the clock. I thought Debuchy played well and was starting to show signs of some form. We did create some really good openings early on and had the first goal not been chalked off by Platini's watchmen it would've given us a foothold in the game. Having said, we looked like a badly patched team at times with the amount of players we had missing.

 

[MaraDon]

we need to stick togheter and focus on our next match.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

We need to play chambers at RB on Sunday

Let's not get ahead of ourselves, he's somehow even more **** than Debushit himself

 

[ChampagneFootball]

Performance was nowhere near as bad as the scoreline suggests.

Horrible either way though.

Defensively I'd say it was, for sure. Offensively, we look just as sharp as the elite teams at times.

Same old story, really.. but I'll give us a pass tonight given that we were missing players I consider to be invaluable in Hector and Kos.

Terrible news.

 

[Trilly]

He's only four months younger than Zouma and six months younger than Stones. I should be seeing more signs of ability.

Yh I'll give him a while longer but we may have to accept that he's just not that good. It happens sometimes, not every signing will be a success I guess.
