Watch the lot turn once they go out ?????

One of the so called great managers into his 5th ???? season of winning nothing.

Had to laugh at their tactics last night, give it to Raya and he hoofs it up field.
Arteta is a genius ha

Only glanced at it sporadically but that's all I could see of Lego's tactics - hoof and hope. They were at home to a very good side and all they did was try to emulate Wimbledon. So his team talk would essentially have been "Don't lose."

Didn't work, Lego. Didi it?
 
I thought Arsenal would get a result last night. For all the talk, and despite knocking Real Madrid out they just don't have the confidence or experience to cope at this level. Came out of the blocks far too slowly, spent more time whingeing about the ref than looking to win the game. It's rarely the best team that wins the CL. It's the one that takes its chances, doesn't get rattled by adversity and keeps fighting.

They're not out of it by any means, but it's going to be even harder in the 2nd leg where PSG will really start the shithousery and I can't see a ref being brave enough to give much against them in Paris.

My main takeaway is how frustrating it is we've been so shit this season. The City team from the past few years would walk this CL. Standards across Europe in general feel pretty poor.

I don't think this is very fair. It's very evident by now that he's not a 6. He's an 8. He's a very, very good 8, but he's a weak 6

Yeah, he is one of the best in that box to box role. It's the issue England had last summer. Rice and Bellingham both effective number 8s but neither are good enough in the 6 role.

That PSG pairing of Vitinha and Neves is phenomenal. Such a shame we didn't buy one of them! Not many in Europe will dominate them in possession.

Half want to see how a PSG v Barca game would play out, but I really want Inter to win it. Their fans were class when we beat them so would like them to win it this time around.

It was genuinely pathetic. And im not saying that to shit on them.

This was their biggest game ever at the emirates, think back to our biggest ever game at the Etihad, Madrid semi final. It was unreal, real madrid players and media said afterwards it's the most intimidating they've ever witnessed, arsenal last night will be more comparable to the upcoming midweek game against bournemouth than that madrid game.

Aside from a momentary roar every 30 seconds when an arsenal player demanded some noise, or moaning about decisions that were correct, all you could hear was the PSG fans.

The FC Franco game was the best performance I have ever witnessed, both on and off the pitch.

To a man, the team was absolutely outstanding.

And the atmosphere generated by us in the stands was just unbelievable.

No wonder they couldn’t live with us.

His career was built from being a 6. I agree he is a better 8 but it shows his limits that he cannot do a 6 without another 6 next to him. Really poor actually.

Honestly I avoid all sports media…..mostly all click bait and wind up merchants…..very quick glance at BBC Sports….

Feel a lot better avoiding as I’ve got fed up with all the ongoing anti-city rhetoric

Me too, George, as anything anti-City winds me up more than it reasonably should.

I listen to Boom Radio all the time.
