Atletico Madrid v Arsenal (03/05 BT Sport 1, 20:05)

[Niall_Quinn]

Atletico very happy to give us permissions and let us try and break through their wall of defence which so far we've not been good enough to do.
Kick in the balls to concede so late in the half but we were never going to keep a clean sheet.
Come on Arsenal, it's not over yet

We are good enough, if only we'd inject a bit of tempo. But as soon as we get to the final third we slow it all down and start the tip tap bullshit. Perfect for Madrid. They must be laughing their arses off.

That defence of theirs is certainly breachable. Liverpool would rip them to bits.

Love Wilshere's passion

Gabi was taking the piss kicking our players off the park so Wilshere clattered into him the next challenge

If by passion you mean dumb stupidity, then yeah gotta love that passion.

Yeah, all too slow. Not easy breaking down teams like this and they are notoriously mean defensively but we need to move the ball with more pace and stretch them.

Just seen the goal again. Why is Costa goal side of...whoever that was and completely on his own?

Won't be funny if we equalise but then he gets sent off.

[Marc Overmars]

I fear the second half is going to be textbook tippy tappy from us, with Atleti picking us off late on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz has to get the hook. On 80 minutes.

[AFC Leveller]

The problem is we are moving the ball well in the middle but as soon as it gets in the final third we go sideways and back until we lose it. Wh are the players so reluctant to go forward and attack with pace? So many poor performances from that first half it’s hard to see us coming back Into this now.

I don't know why nobody at the club can see that we are more successful when we go at teams with pace. We even tippy tappy when there's one minute on the clock and we need a goal.

86 mins for me. And then the fans have to say he did really well and he has a lovely smile.

No one gambles and makes the runs.
