First goal in 400+ mins. Fans were chanting all game to attack. Boo's at halftime, and a huge reaction of boo's when LVG subbed off Martial.
Bellerin out for Arsenal. That is in addition to Walcott, Oxlade, Ramsey. Rosicky and Wilshere missing for ages. Injuries piling up once again for this team. If it keeps happening year after year, maybe you need to start looking at your training methods and your fitness coaches.
Anyone who knows the game more than me care to comment HOW exactly Chelsea has looked so bad this season? I began following back in the Anelka and Drogba days and they got me hooked. Can the locker room be that bad?
Bayern putting on an absolute clinic. Arsenal have no answer really. Alaba with a bloody rosner from 25 yards
Arsenal's win two weeks ago was a joke and Bayern didn't hestitate to show that. Didn't even need Douglas Costa to shine.
So who was the guy who told me Arsenal was a big club a few weeks ago? No they are not. Hopefully today proved it but honestly it has been proven every year. They have a few quality players that would make the real big clubs but the rest would not even make the bench. Speaking of bench, they dont have one. They need it too considering the amount of injuries they pile up every year. The quality of bench is pitiful and it shows when going up against the big clubs. Joel Campbell and Debuchy?? Seriously? Lolz... It isnt just that this club is stingy. There is a deeper issue. Wenger convinced that he has the quality for both the PL and CL. I kid you not! Speaking of Wenger, there is a reason he hasnt won anything in ages. First he gets it completely wrong by playing Ospina at goal for first two games. You have Cech! You dont need to rest your keeper!!! Ospina pretty much Jeremy Linned Arsenal. That own goal was inexcusable and killed their hopes (not that were much to begin with). Then he does not understand damage control and see the big picture. Winning at Allianz today was going to be incredibly tough even if he had the full squad. But considering that the three players that could have given Arsenal any hope (Walcott, Chamberlain, Bellerin) because of their speed and counter attacking threat were injured and out, he should have waved the flag early. Debuchy, Campbell, and Giroud are exactly the kind of players you do not want playing in this game. He should have waved the flag and rested his key players for the weekend match. Instead he ran his team to the ground. Also, Kos, who is Arsenal's best defender, and fastest defender after Bellerin, was on the bench. Lolz.... League was his only hope but he is going to kill that chance as well, just like every year, because of his mismanagement. Arsenal needs a new manager, one that is not afraid to spend, and one that is not as mediocre as he is. And I say this as someone that likes Wenger as a person.
Made an easy 10k on the bayern win today. Arsenal only have 2 world class defenders in kocileny and bellerin - both were out. Just don't have the depth to recover without that and per is too slow footed to keep the rest of back 4 in check. They're not a bad team, just don't have the depth to compensate for losses at the back. It's best for them , they can actually try to win their league now. Zagreb result sucked but great to see a Greek club back in the quarters. Psg were really good in their game yesterday. A team to fear outside the usual suspects.
Someone gets it! Per + Debuchy = Too slow. Paulista = Too young and inexperienced. Bayern was licking its chops as soon as it saw that defense. LOL @ Wenger! (What's in your wallet?)
Paulista will be very good in a year. Kocileny was conistently horrible when he first came from Ligue 1 and now he's a top 5 defender in the world. Who could have seen that and verm getting injured and losing form? Wengers eye for talent that can be developed is 2nd to none and that's why Londoners are patient with him. Would vidal have seen them more dangerous given how coquelin developed? Probably not, but when Coq gets injured, theyre ****ed and Wenger never leaves a cushion. He'll a few youngsters out there , expecting they learn on the go. And without a cushion, it always backfires against top opposition. Arsenal fans are purists and get a lot of satisfaction from their wins - it's through an actual development system and not the usual big club win at all costs philosophy. But that's also their downfall. A lovable loser trying to recreate the days of Henry , Viera , ljunberg, Pires et,c
Well Wenger is done. In reality he was done years ago but still managed to convince Arsenal fans that playing beautiful football is of primary importance and not winning trophies if you play sexy football is acceptable. Funny thing is Emirates tickets have been the most expensive priced game day tickets for year and prices only continue to go up. Thankfully he won the FA Cup
Why would he be done? He makes the Arsenal owners a ****load of money. Both him and the owners are perfectly content with top 4 league finish and CL appearance. He is an owner's dream manager (as long as you dont demand titles).
