UCL R16 1st Leg | Bayern v Arsenal | February 15 19:45 GMT | BT Sport 2

[Pat Rice]

Little while back this was the other way round. Not sure either's to blame.

Nah this guy .

After making Capoue look like Vidal, he completed his mission by making Vidal look like Vidal.

It's almost like two central midfielders can't cope with the work and passing ability of three central midfielders.

Poor Wenger game management

 

[Hunta]

Mustafi, Gabriel, Gibbs, Coquelin, Xhaka, Ox, Iwobi, Özil.

You're trying to beat the best with those guys? Even Bellerin and Alexis wouldn't be nailed on at at proper CL contender.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Mentally collapsed.. Mentally * is what best described this performance.

 

[Batman]

Was that not your insinuation? That people don't like Gabriel because he can't speak English?

FAKE NEWS!

 

[Goonerozil33]

We had 26% possession today. Our technical quality had gone down immensely.Even against the best barca side we used to get 35-40% possession. The technical level needs to improve a lot for us to be able to compete. Most of these big matches we are unable to control midfield and as a result we end up having to defend so much. And when we defend we have too many players who are not great defenders. We should either prioritize defense or buy more technical players and play attacking footy. To play defensive football with Özil and iwobi is not good at all. I think we need to start having a 3 man midfield

 

[Ben.hurst]

Right should we get rid of The manager maybe so but last year shown us a lot ..Leicester won the league because they wanted it, every player went for every ball. Tonight we shown we really don't care. before the match the pundits said this is how athletico Madrid beat if we do the same we can cause problems but what did we do back off them let them make us look stupid, People say Arsenal may not be as good if arsen leaves but what would you rather a Arsenal team that finished 5 but spends money or a team that doesn't and gets a champions league spot but gets a 5 1 thrashing. Julian draxer great player why the hell did we not buy him when Barcelona couldn't cope with him makes no sense. Guys we love our manager but we need a change

 

[Ashybashy86]

People blaming everything on Wenger should be ashamed of themselves. The players are a ****ing disgrace as well and have let the club down. The players should refund the away fans and donate a month wages to some charity. Bunch of losers.

I get what you're saying to an extent, but how is it that regardless of the opposition, the team often look like they don't actually have a plan?

 

[HollandGooner]

It is the fault of Wenger even though we faced a team that is far superior than us in every aspect. I have seen teams of lesser quality than us give bayern a hard time and not lose with the score line we did. We were disorganized everywhere on the pitch and everyone knew that Özil was going to be useless here. Was hoping that Welbeck and Elneny come on for Özil and Iwobi. This game just made me to give up.

Just look at Atletico Madrid they have less quality around the pitch then Bayern has still they play in an effective way, we are falling short every freaking year its a tactical and a mental aspect no excuses for this one again i am tired of the same bullshit everytime.

 

[Hunter Zolomon]

anyone here truly believe that stoke would have lost the way we did tnite?

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

When you look at how often Wenger's blaming the mentality of our players, you'd get the impression he's managing a mental asylumn and not a bloody football club.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

I'll happily listen to Keown and Wright despairing over the state of our club, but Piers Morgan can **** off!

 

[Eboue1]

Not blaming Wenger for this by the way, the players made some dreadful mistakes throughout the night.

ooo ssh...we have been knocked out by similar teams (bayern & Barcelona) each season on round of 16....this is not a coincidence

blames goes to the players every time, but in 7 years of this round of 16 shambles we have been having different number of players still got spankled as usual

players who got mauled today were not there in 2010 when we started this madness so their manager is a problem

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

I get what you're saying to an extent, but how is it that regardless of the opposition, the team often look like they don't actually have a plan?

Because of Wenger, simple as that. Wenger wants them to figure it out for themselves and giving them more creative freedom. With Keown, Petit, Vieira, Bergkamp this works, with the players we have it doesn't. And Wenger bought the players as well.

But ffs, I've seen my Saturday league team perform better than that. And I don't mean by winning the third half in drinking bear.

 

[Jury]

They're rubber necking at a road accident, sensing Wenger's blood.

rubber necking

Look, Wenger is the accident here. Again. You must be dead inside at this stage. Posting on autopilot. The man destroys you every other week.

he make it like our players are bunch of teenage girls playing football need to motivate them every minute really make sick.

 

[OnAFiddle]

You've just qualified for the next round and you're here giving advice on our manager.

A few of my friend are Arsenal fans actually before you or anyone else have a go, one is even a Tottenham fan unfortunate. I've lived in Munich for over 15 years, lucky to have a team like Bayern, much like your team in the Henry era. But Wenger is poor now.

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

His facial expression says it all, eh....

 

[Jasard]

**** me that deadpan "I dont mean a word of this" look cracked me up

 

[Jury]

He's talking about the comedy business.

The opening night was a success!
