It's hardly childish to try and push for a win in a big game. It's what I'd expect any big team with pretensions of competing at the top level to do.

Tbf, I thought we had them pinned back....and I was willing them on for the win....but yeah, we were niave to leave ourselves open like that.
I keep thinking back to that ball that was on for Ozil, where Cazorla (of all people) didn't spot it. I was like
We should really have been in front by the time they scored.
Oh well.
On we go
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
You spent every waking hour dismissing everything he says as bullshit, then when it suits you, you go quoting him...
We were naive. It’s disappointing to come away with nothing from this game. But we move on.

Maybe we did overdo it, it is naive to get caught out on the break late in the game, but I would expect a top side to push for the win at home.
He never criticises his team and thus when he does it's got to be because he's really annoyed and being honest about it, why else would he criticise them?
His other comments are usually all the same regardless of performance (boy who cried wolf and all that), so it's refreshing to hear him being honest.

Spot on. Arteta lacked leadership and organisation skills to get the team going. Flamini is superb at that.
No coincidence as soon as Flamini is out we lose.
At least that settles that debate.
Pretty harsh to lay it all on Arteta. I'm not his biggest fan but I wouldn't say he's the worst player. You have to take these comments with a pinch of salt. Play Ramsey as a DM? He's the reason we went a goal down so wouldn't want him playing in a deeper role. It wouldn't have been wise to tell him to hold since he's been one of our best attackers.
Our fullbacks were off today. No point in bombing forwards if you keep putting in tame crosses. Both were caught out for the 2nd goal.
Ramsey, Wilshere and Ozil struggled. Not their best games at all.
But it's Dortmund. I'll be more worried if we struggle over the weekend.
