Giroud had one of those days where he complained about every single foul and seemed to forget that you play to the whistle. He kept whinging throughout the game and didnt use his physical strength to good effect at all. Similar to the Stoke game.

I expected that. A draw is respectable.
For the first time in ages I’ve noticed Wenger getting up from the bench and looking frustrated. He really wants to win this competition. He needs to learn from this season and make changes. Giroud may be efficient for the Premier League, but he’ll get us nowhere for Europe. He needs to address that. We need a stronger bench. Injuries have racked up and I suspect a lot of them are down to fatigue. We also need to be clinical in the group stages to avoid very tough early games. We could have avoided Bayern. Oh well. Maybe next year.
He was picking up form, but to be fair, I'd rather he just take the time off now and rest. First season here has been difficult for him, hopefully Wenger (he'll stay if we win the fa cup) beefs up the front line to make his job in the team easier.Quote:

Decent draw last night, didn't expect us to go through so I'm not really that bothered we went out, I don't think we have enough to win this competition at the moment anyway.
Bayern always looked like they were going through even though they didn't play particularly well for them, after we equalised we needed to throw the kitchen sink at them but we never really had it in us in the end.
and so another CL adventure ends as we expected it to, hopefully we sign a few quality players in the summer so we have a decent chance against these top teams because realistically until we do, last 16 will be our limit.
Don't really agree with him, don't think we have the quality to knock them out, 1st leg we started well but didn't take our chances, second leg we never came close to turning it around despite Bayern not being at their best. He says there's no gap between us and the best teams, can't agree with that at all.Quote:

IMO it doesn't reflect well on him when he talks like that, he should just rise above it and talk about the performance.
Oh and Ox is a brilliant player, his workrate, willingness to shoot and skills are something to behold, he should be a regular at the moment he's a real threat for us.
You could see his talent from day one.
Wenger has been sent off 1,000 times in the last 9 years! True fact.Quote:
