Wenger and his continued fetish of playing players out of position. Some of the younger guys who have come through the ranks look like they have the potential to be pretty decent players but why oh why is Wenger playing them all out of position?

The sad thing is the likes of Maitland Niles and Willock are getting blocked from playing in their favoured positions because we have Elneny and Coquelin who can play there.

I don’t really see the point of any complaints . Yes the game was crap . Yes the players didn’t play well .
But we qualified and won the group. Wenger uses this kind of games to give playing time to some of his fringe players to build up their confidence again so that they can be ready every time they come up as subs .
The penalty was a totally joke . I wonder how they put such a ref in a Europa game. The fair result should have been 0-0 . And that because Arsenal players were scared of shooting and wanted to walk with the ball into the net . Also Giroud had many chances to seal the game but he was on crack.

Bad people continue to do bad things if nobody complains.

So many excuses at this club, no wonder they get away with so much and will continue to do so.

Well, the complaints have been going on and on and nothing has ever changed about those players who cannot compete .
We bought players with limited abilities and we want them to perform like Messi . That aient gonna happen .

Giroud, Welbeck, Wilshere, Elneny, Mertesacker, Debuchy and Ospina

These are all internationals, senior players who have had vast experience of top flight football

Whatever way you want to argue it, them losing to a side that is bottom of the bundesliga is totally and completely unacceptable

What has happened to you recently? You're talking complete sense

I actually thought Maitland Niles was good....though maybe that's because he actually showed a modicum of aggressiveness where he usually looks comatose or like he is frolicking in the good old English flower meadows in a period drama.

Nelson looked handy when he came on too, but I was left again (as I often do) wondering why professional football produces so few genuinely two footed players despite signing them barely out of nappies. I thought he should have taken his shot late on with his left but I don't want to be too critical. He'd just watched a team of internationals and players in front of him go behind against a dreadful German team.
