AC Milan match reaction

I'm greedy, I want to win the Ropey League and for Wenger to leave, preferably before the end of the season. If we win the Ropey League and Wenger stays we know how it turns out under him in the CL. Sadly, I don't think either will happen.

Its not bullshit, they managed quite a few breaks through our defence and if they could shoot straight, they could have been 5 or 6 up. They nearly scored twice in the first 5 mins or did you forget that?

We did defend well but we certainly were not impenetrable. Yes we could have been 3 or 4 up but we had Welbeck up front.

I refuse to go the Emirates for any game despite being offered tickets. If this goes on any longer it come to the point where I won't watch or follow at all.

How could I say I support Arsenal if it gets to that? I'm on the edge already and not the only one. If he gets another contract the disgust I'd have for this club would be overwhelming. It's bad enough being in a position where we're having to hound Wenger out. Arsene Wenger! I hate to see fans bad mouthing legends like Adams, Dixon, Keown, Wright, Henry....it's really bad and goes to show that it runs deeper than a lack of trophies.

The atmosphere amongst the fans is pretty poisonous - fans actively wanting us to lose is evidence of that and Wenger definitely needs to go.
As you know, it's rare for me to watch games now. I watched last night though because, well, it's the Europa and it's all we have left and it's a fairly big game and I had nothing better to do. Actually enjoyed it, which is rare these days.
If we do win the Europa then the last 5 years, purely in terms of trophies, will have been better than many teams. Our failure to compete for the biggest prizes is pretty damning, given our resources and squad.
I honestly think our squad is good enough to compete though, or close. I don't think a new manager who could get the most out of them would have to completely rebuild.
Some are acting like we're at the brink of relegation, claims that we will be next year if Wenger stays are ridiculous. We've been useless this season and we'll still probably finish 6th.
I really don't think it would take that much to turn things around.

From what I read about the game and from what HCZ said, Milan didn't press us and Xhaka had a good game because he had loads of space to pass the ball. Milan didn't do their homework.

Ahhh, good. Not the HCZ part. You still being employed. I thought redundancy had struck or something.

Tbf I was struggling to find a stream so I might have missed a few bits, I saw one time they break through and Ospina could have conceded a pel although I don't think he touched him and it would have been harsh.
The BBC says they had 16 shots but only one on target which does sound like they were pretty erratic and should have scored more, from actually watching the game though it didn't feel like that.
We seemed to pretty much be controlling the game. They could have scored a couple of goals, we could have scored more too though.
Overall the assertion that they could and should have hammered is, as I may have intimated, bullshit.

No they didn’t do their homework. I couldn’t believe how easy we had it. They’re a prestigious club but this is a team that have finished 6th, 7th, 10th and 8th in the past 4 seasons. They’re fairly ordinary now and that was evident last night, I’m surprised so many were pessimistic about getting a result. The English clubs in the CL would have all wiped the floor with them.

We played well for sure and did what we do best when allowed to express ourselves. Also, Wenger always manages to keep us from total oblivion so it’s typical Arsenal really.
