Match reaction v Bayern

[IBK]

Taking Oxo off was a shocking decision IMO though, he has pace an eye for goal and was working hard, don't get why he took him off at all when others should have been taken off instead.

I think overall Wenger did well yesterday, as pointed out perhaps not taking Ozil out of the line of fire and us relying on a kid up front due to him not signing as striker together with the Oxo sub were the only mistakes (us relying on a kid up front due to him not signing as striker was a mistake but one made last summer/january).

Wasn't the Ox carrying a knock? Anyways probably wouldn't have made any difference at that stage given we were hemmed in by superior numbers/talent by then?

With this promise in mind we have gone from Henry & DB10 to Sanogo & Giroud in 10 years - and some of you still think we're progressing.

you're comparing our best EVER team to this one and you think that means you have a valid point?
Last year was horrible, we were awful and just about scraped into the top 4.
So far this season we've competed, stayed right up there so far. We have a horrible run coming up which may see us drop off but so far yes, I do see plenty of progress compared with last year which is the most immediate and valid basis for comparison.

That made me shed a tear, literally..

We all should.

Don't think so no. Thing is a 1-0 down you may as well keep him on, in the hope you might get a break, he's got pace and an eye for goal so you always have a small chance of a goal.

We were completely outplayed 2nd half, but if you harbour any ambitions of salvaging something you have to keep your best players on.

Yes, Wenger confirmed that post game.

[Özim]

I've not seen any mention of Ox carrying a knock (just looked online), he certainly didn't mention it in the post match interview.

I will always be a fan, long after Mr Wenger has departed.

But why be a fan, if everything is just miserable... I've never seen you say anything positive, considering we havent won anything in almost 9 years, you have been miserable for atleast 6+ years?

Are you like that in your normal life aswell or do you do a 180 and go super positive when its not about Arsenal?

Edit:


Mesut and Neuer

Why are you comparing to last year, why not throughout Wumgers reign. We are miles off the Henry & DB team which is the team that we had when we were asked to move. If we were moving to improve our chances of competing at the top level, we should therefore expect a better team. True or not. However 10 years on, we are weaker up top than we've ever been, possibly the weakest in the EPL with a manager that doesn't see the need to buy quality or spend the extra 10 mill to get a player we really need.
You can only compare this to last if the manager was new, Wumger has had years to get it right but is really no closer than several years ago. Forget our current position, we really could be 5th or 6th by the end of March because we play against teams who are improving & we continually shit oursleves in these games.
