League is more important this year, winning this competition is only a bonus after securing a league title.

Not sure you can attribute uch of the original team selection to Arteta.
Delp, Gun, Fern -- all 2s.
Sterling was definetly not our best player. Sane was.

This is Champions League. If we want to even arrive in the semis or actually win it we need to be much more precise, much quicker, much more effective. We also have to want it more. Not only after 70 minutes or second half only.

Many bad performances from the players, Arteta also cant come out of this one with any positives.

2-0 up Lyon had the chance to sit back be more defensive but before that they caused us problems. They hit the post too could have been 3-0 there.

This was supposed to be an esy group but drop points next game which is away from home and its a totally different story. Others will feel they might have a chance at getting first place and that can change the dynamics of the group.

Rest of the two home games are must win now.

This isn’t the same city as last year. It may take us time to get going maybe when KDB comes back it might spark us back in to life but something is definitely missing. We’re playing very slow this year, maybe it’s other teams setting up differently I don’t know.

which teams are setting up differently this season ?

We made last nights PSG look like a prime Barcelona. Absolute dogshit performance and the worse of it was the complete lack of desire in the second half to make up for the first half horror show.
Bitterly disappointed with that. Only consolation is we should still have enough to progress from the group.

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

well we got that shit display out the way and got rid of that shit favourites tag out the way so we move on to Cardiff. those giving Arteta stick give your heads a wobble .

Dreadful display. I think we all thought performances like that were a thing of the past, but we were wrong. Absolutely stunned.

What does Marhez do? He found Sane with a cross that he should have scored from but in everything else he was so slow. He just seems to pass it back along the line.
