Arsenal Thread 2013/14

[ElanJo]

Arse played better than us with 11
We played better than them with 10.

Same result in the end tho.

I hope we have a right go tomorrow, even if we lose, no point losing a chess match 2-0 like city today, you think your doing well and before you know it, the tie is over.
Hope we go for the kill tomorrow, and if we fall short, so be it.

It, it is then.

Not a good night for either of us in the Champions League this week.

Giroud's dropped for some kid.

Didn't he play against Liverpool (the kid)? He looked very promising from what i have seen.

And had a decent game tonight.

He looked lost. Totally isolated which of course was not his fault

Will the tabloids slaughter Arsenal and Wenger tomorrow like City. I doubt it. It was a similar match to last night. If it had stayed 11 v 11 Arsenal (like City) would probably have got at least a draw. Face facts. Bayern and Barca are the best sides of the last decade. English teams are not up to their standard. It is no disgrace to lose to teams like this. The bar has been set high and we have to work harder to reach it.

im not denying that had you kept 11 men you might either have got a draw or even a win. but with 11 men we looked like the better team against bayern whereas you didn't against barca.

the absolutely biggest regret of tonight is that we started like we started against napoli, bayern didn't know what hit them.

but the missed pen totally changed the atmosphere and moral.

regardless of the rules, and regardless of who's fault it is, to miss a penalty, get a red card, lose one of your subs, then lose our best left back all in 45mins is just so much bad luck self inflicted or not.<br /><br />-- Wed Feb 19, 2014 11:56 pm --<br /><br />

with 11 men he looked really good, pacey and strong. in my opinion better then giroud. he also comes across as someone with that arrogance and beleif, which is something that giroud doesnt have.

Didn't get chance to watch the game tonight, but heard Chris Waddle on 5 Live after the match, saying summat like, at least Arsenal went for it with 10 men, whereas, City sat too deep. We gave em a fookin good game with 10 men. Then they were talkin about top Spanish and German sides being better than the top Premier league sides; both City and Arsenal were unlucky to go a man down, okay, they were both sending off offences, but had they not been sent off, both games would have ended differently. WE beat Bayern on their own patch a couple of months back and that with a pretty much second string side. Arsenal beat Dortmund in Dortmund. Yoonited (although not a top side) battered Leverkusen. Of course Barca and Bayern are top sides, but just coz 2 Premier league teams have just unluckily lost to the pair of them, doesn't make the top PL clubs inferior to the top La Liga and Bundesliga clubs. Is Waddle always such a chod?

Looked completely out of his depth to me. He might as well have sat in the stand.

Good summary, and the way I feel. Both yourselves and us could have maybe plucked out a draw if we kept 11 men on the pitch, but the bottom line is Barcelona and Bayern are just up another level overall. The good thing for us and yourselves I would suggest is that there are 1 or 2 areas of our teams that you can see for obvious improvements. Whether that be enough to take the teams up to that level we can only see.

Really don't know why the media always want to have a go at us - always looking for a dig however small - only Martin Samuel and Henry Winter seem to be able to see the big picture.

So chuffed Arse got beat same way as us really - bet they don't get the same treatment in the press.
