Monaco - Post Match thread.

Presumably Pep can also see this so why does he stick with a system that in the toughest games requires Sagna and Clichy to perform like Alves and Alba, something they are clearly incapable of doing?
What alternative options are available to him at the moment, Clichy, in particular would have been sat in a casino last night if we had Sidibe or Mendy. But we don't (yet).

It's not a question of alternative players right now but adapting the tactics to the available players. Why ask Sagna and Clichy to get forward when they don't even have nuisance value in the attacking third?
 
It was an if not a given . May not have needed them yet we all knew that line up couldn't defend for toffee,and against the highest scorers in Europe.
I don't think we were ever going to keep a clean sheet against them regardless. Full backs are useless and leave the defence exposed, bring their full backs in and thats 99% of our problems solved.

I`ve been banging this drum for ages. zaba is still our best attacking fullback by a mile. all these to do is get in the way
 
Then most either don't know football or take shit for granted. We were always going to find it tough against such an attacking force.
Agree with this, forget now who the options were but Monaco were not top of my wanted list, it was only a couple of years back Monaco dumped Arse out and that was a weaker Monaco and a stronger Arsenal than todays respective outfits.
