Began brightly, then we were bullied around for the rest of the first half and subsequently lost control of the game.
Watford blocked us out well but it's no surprise our first came on the break when we had some space.
2nd place, bring on Bayern.

Made hard work of it initially but once we gained a measure of control it was straight forward.
Took alot of work the first hour or so, but once they tired, our quality showed.
Another one of those games which is a bit of a banana skin - especially with other results going the way they did and us having to play after those games.
Good result. On we go.
Our whole game is passing so when we aren't doing that well nothing else works. Once Alexis, Ozil and Cazorla found their passing game we picked apart a very ordinary but... erm, "rugged" Watford.
Appalling ref who awarded 12 fouls against us and 11 against our non-stop fouling opponents. One particularly nasty and deliberate elbow on Kos didn't even get a yellow, let alone the red it deserved.
Good games from Bellerin and Nacho. Kos looked a bit short of fitness and Merts is slow - really, really slow. You can see Cech doesn't trust him at all. Good news though that Kos' little bit 2 weeks injury really only did last for 2 weeks, instead of 3 months.
We can't afford to take the first half off, like we did today, against Bayern midweek.
Für eure Sicherheit
Rest the entire starting XI against Bayern.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
We found a way. In the end, it was good stuff.
Ramsey was a twat again though. What's wrong with that boy? Fuckin weirdo!!
The largest threat we have, is bellarine(sp). Whenever he gets into or ariund the box, we're mentally good.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
We have so many gifted players, esp in the middle of the park but for me, watching Cazorla play is such a joy. He is so effortless and so good on the ball, his pass to Ozil for the first goal was a thing of beauty and his crossfield balls to the FBs are insanely good.
