Literally fell asleep before the 90 were up. Woke up to see this shambles of a result. The state of us.. Knocked out by Olympiakos. A new low.
This is why I've always liked the first leg at home. It also forces our team to come out of their shells.Away goals rule needs changing - they had 30 mins extra to score their second away goal. That’s an unfair advantage.
extra time away goals should not count
Olympiacos defended deep and did not give any space to our attackers. It had to be created and Özil did that. If Pepe was on his wavelength we would have had more threatening situations in the first half.Olympiacos gave him time and space because they were not threatened by him. There was a moment in the first half at the edge of the box, he crossed a hopeless ball in, and not one player even moved to close him down. This is our playmaker.
The 2nd half autistic dribble he did for 30 seconds made me wanna throw my remote at the TV. Hope Arteta lays into him in trainingPepe massively frustrating for me in regular time. Had the beating of his markers frequently but no final ball. Literally all he had to do a bunch of times was simply find our strikers’ feet in the box and he failed every time.
Bit like the Madrid vs City game, rubbish first half so hoping for a very exciting 2nd half with the away team winning.
Can't stand the Poundland Danny Devito
But Özil moves the ball... Unfortunately it is mostly backwards and sideways.Are you People on crack?
Dissing Pepe and praising Özil?
Pepe was constantly active and succesfully getting past his man,
Özil moves away from the ball
That was as bad as I've seen him in an Arsenal shirt. I think I counted about 4 times he passed directly to a Olympiakos player with no Arsenal player within 10 yards of the ball.But Özil moves the ball... Unfortunately it is mostly backwards and sideways.
I find people praising him just very, very odd. Look at his crosses into the box. Soft lobs that cause absolutely no problem for the defense. For an attacking midfielder and #10 he is just amazingly ineffective. No goals and no assists. For playing 90 minutes game in and out he sure delivers preciously little.
I am ashamed and embarrassed to be an Arsenal fan.
Dead club. Seriously, how is our spiral any other direction than downward?
