Match Reaction vs Dortmund

No midfield.

Fucking hell

Arteta :ilt:

Ozil :haha:

Fucking embarrassing.

Is it even about the players?

For me its 100% about one person - Wenger.

Tactically utterly clueless. Has no answer for teams who play us at a high tempo...whether its Liverpool, Chelsea, Dortmund.

What is discussed before games, what are we doing in training.

3 more years of this.......The guy is so comfortable, he will go home to his fine wine, £10m house, and start again tomorrow with his usual bullshit.

Too many shockingly awful performances during the last 5 years to conclude anything but the downfall of a once brilliant, forward thinking manager.

Don't know where to begin. I don't usually comment on the ref, but I thought he was a joke. Can't mask how woeful we were. What exactly are we trying to win with this lot?....I mean seriously....?

Wenger needs to quit with this crazy formation and make a decision between picking Jack or Ramsey. We have other issues, but going back to what we know might yield some positive results. This new formation is killing is and doesn't benefit jack, ramsey or ozil!

When you get outclassed in every way by a superior opponent (Barcelona a few seasons ago/United with Ronaldo) you can't be too upset, but when you contribute to it by being completely hapless in possession, in thought, in energy, in work-rate, it's unacceptable from all involved really.

You can tell when it's going to be a bad day because we fail with two-yard passes from the first minute to the last. It's criminal to constantly mess up at the basics for 90 minutes at this level.

Even as we were getting battered, we still had chances when we somehow strung a move together. Neither Welbeck chance was completely clear-cut and he should be given the benefit of the doubt, but if he continues to miss the target it will become a huge problem. He had another decent game though, considering what he was working with.

Only Wilshere, Welbeck and Szczesny come out of it with some credit. Even though Szczesny made some poor decisions tonight. Bellerin wasn't too bad either in fairness. I'm sure Debuchy would have been just as exposed, as he's always caught high up the pitch.

Wenger needs to make some changes for the weekend because playing out-of-form players or those who those are ineffective when the game quickens is only going to cause more damage. Rosicky, Cazorla, Campbell and even Diaby deserve a shot. What's the point of options if you're going to stick with under-performing favourites?

Arsenal :doh:.

I think we'll get through the group and avoid relegation and administration though.

Definitely not worth getting up at 4:45am for that.

Wenger is out of his depth. Our records against the better teams now is so poor. Everyone has figured out how to play against us yet wenger sees no need to try and alter our style of play.

I don't think Sanchez thinking how the hell did I end up here should be his first thought.....it should be his second. After how the hell did I not find a blue shirt all night. I think he was just thrown by Arsenal playing in blue.

Apart from the first 5 minutes he was very poor tonight.

I've had enough of Wenger not playing to the opposition's strengths and weaknesses. This isn't 2004 any more. A mere "do what you do best" team talk will not suffice.
