Don't accuse me of trolling, I've been a boards mod for many many years and first stood on the Highbury terraces in the early 70's when Bertie Mee was manager. I call as I see, it's a shambles

Thanks for quoting your pedigree. You made a statement, and you were wrong.

I don't see a lack of effort anywhere. Gabriel is useless? Reactionary ****e.

Read back, I'm being in no way reactionary.

Whatever Arsenals main objective is this season, tonights performance is utterly pathetic. There is just no excuse for this lack of effort. Many fans travelled to Germany tonight. A defeat fair enough, but a downing of tools is simply disgusting.

*Logs out*

Rinse and repeat over-reactionism YET AGAIN!!!

Good night!

That's not what I was replying to. Please keep up!

I just replied to what you stated, that's all. No need for the sarcastic "keep up" stuff

Lads Bayern are on fire tonight it was never going to be easy but they have come out with a point to prove and with an unsettled defence tonight it was never going to be easy, We're better off out of the champions league with the squad the way it is at the moment aswell

Obviously players can step in and deputise for injurys just not a load at once it unbalances the team its not the end of the world jesus relax

What's the most goals Cech has ever conceded in a match?

Anyone who isn't disgusted with what's been served up tonight can't be taken seriously. We are the only big club this happens with on a regular basis.

What is the reaction you wanted after being hammered 4-0 after 55 minutes when our players yet again look like they don't care?

Died with their boots on is a nice working class story to cheer a grieving mother after losing her son in a futile war

Doesn't mean anything to me

04-11-2015 09:08PM

Just sick I don't bet on Arsenal matches, Bayern -2 looked good. Zagreb were 17/10 +1 as well but I hadn't the balls.

4-3 on aggregate:)

omega man · 04-11-2015 09:12PM

Some goal in fairness.

Im not sure they are on fire. To me they haven't been made to work for it. Its come all too easy. They've won easily in 3rd gear tbh. We've been disinterested and septic

Against the top teams if you tackle you have to commit to a tackle. No point faking a tackle just to get the opponent to do something .
You have to tackle so fast, hard and committed that even if he gets the ball past you, your so close to him it slows him down going for the triangle return.

If one player is tackling at speed and pace, the other players around him need todo that too. No point only one player tackling with intensity if the rest of the players in the 5 yard circle around him arent pressing hard.

Playing a defensive 2 banks of 4 against the top teams and hoping they wont score genereally only works if those players are phycically intimidating.

Against the top teams , teams with a high workrate and press hard, you will not be able to work the ball out easily from defense. No point in even trying.
It might be your style, but abandon it. For kickouts, or when the goalie gets the ball in play, just play route one, get some players forward, get the ball in opponents 1/3 and hope for a break or at least force them to start from there.

Arsenal .. too posh to press.

well in fairness, we pressed them quite successfully in the previous game.

wonga77 · 04-11-2015 09:20PM

In fairness our fans are making abit of noise out there tonight

That's the prob, consistency, or lack of

brianregan09 · 04-11-2015 09:22PM

Bellerin, Koscielny, Arteta, Oxlaide chamberlain, Walcott, Wilshire, Ramsey, Ospina etc

Take that many players out of any squad in europe Real, Barca , Juventus, City any of them and they would all be battered just like this against a full strength Bayern Munich

It seems in this thread there's a quitness when we're winning and now i know why people are busy gnashing there teeth and sharpening there knives for when we do eventually not win a game , just think again for a second we've lost once in the premiership since the west ham game
