Pathetic.

Did wenger really think we could just come here and defend for 90 mins?

Wank.

Fucking stupid! It really is! Finishing 1st would have been sweet with the next team we'd draw.

Poor defeat, must do better against the money bags this weekend. :coffee:

Never in doubt :coffee:

We're getting a horrible draw, all the sides we could face are very tough indeed.

Wenger playing Russian roulette as usual.

This was a game we would have won if we had a manager with any sort of tactical nous.

Somehow we always find a way to screw up the group stage. Ah well 2 more games to look forward to then

So would've everyone else given how people thought we'd be fortunate to get a Europa spot.

So that excuse the crap that we've just seen when we'd done all the hard work to win the group. Tell that to the poor fuckers that have paid the money to go & watch them

I guess it'll help with the league down the line if we get knocked out next round, fewer game and everything :coffee:

:getcoat:

Henry doesn't look happy at all. :D

Agree 100% - trouble with him is that if we had lost 3-0, he'd do the same thing next year

Good thing we will play 2 more games in the CL and can concentrate on the league + FA Cup

Yeah, this team has done nothing but fuck over the fans all season.

This has been coming, our November capitulation is now on track in December. Cant see us doing anything at etihad, and chavs will do a number on us.

I can't believe such mis-management of the team!!

Wenger even said before the game he needs to rotate the side!??!??

Where the fuck was Theo and Bendtner, the team look knackered!!!

And now look at our draw, despite every good thing this season he still hasn't got a clue how to manage an actual football game.

Rant over

:cheer:

GW back to normal, i missed you GW

We've been playing with confidence - he took it out of the team tonight with negative football. No need against shit opposition. Confidence & energy drained for biggest league game of the season - glad youre happy.

No you're not.

You wish I had a piss stained mattress.

I worry we are not ruthless or direct enough, and I fear that will be our undoing eventually.

Done well so far this season, but can't help but see this scenario playing out. here's hoping not.

need some top quality goalscorers, real assassins. that's the missing ingredient.

We need more of a threat up front - that is for sure.

Us. :lol:

But also, Group of Death. :lol:

We've run out of steam now. Lets hope this result doesn't damage us mentally.

Funny thing is that I don't think its the mentality. Its a lack of flexibility - playing a game that needs our players to be 100% and gets well found out when they are not.

It's the lack of beating Everton at the Emirates. Was last week, still is this week. Those are the games.

But that result wasn't a fluke or an injustice. We aren't good enough to exceed expectations consistently. If any Gooner is still confident about winning the league, they are living in fantasy land.

I'm much more disappointed with the Everton and Napoli performances than the performance today. Today could have seen any combination of scores, it was random but we attacked city as much as they attacked us. They have better strikers though. Plus let's not overlook the scandalous scheduling that handed city such a huge advantage before a ball was even kicked. I don't think anyone at city will be kidding themselves about that game, on a good day we could have knocked 7 past them. We need to keep that level of intensity, steer well clear of the Everton/ Napoli bullshit strategies, continue to improve at the back and maybe add a bit of firepower next month and we should at least be able to compete - something we haven't realistically been doing for a while.

Plus the expectations will drop now - not a terrible thing.
