The penalty was a totally joke . I wonder how they put such a ref in a Europa game. The fair result should have been 0-0 . And that because Arsenal players were scared of shooting and wanted to walk with the ball into the net . Also Giroud had many chances to seal the game but he was on crack.
If this is supposed to be a confidence builder, it's not working. It doesn't sound like we have a single player from that squad that's ready for a first team appearance. The results have gotten worse, not better. Wenger may need to rethink this one. No point in tanking the confidence of our fringe players whilst also suffering a humiliating exit from the competition.
