Second half was good. First half was diabolical. Again.

Not impressed with the performance. Dortmund could have put us to the sword nice and early. We got the draw and it looked like we battled but it was another disjointed performance from the midfield and wasn't that different from the Swansea performance. We just faced a better team.
Great goal, but we took off our attackers and invited pressure on ourselves. Wenger/Rice went against the original plan which was to attack to keep their main players quiet. That didn't work and we made matters worse by taking off all of our attackers.
That Park Chu Young fella. 'Change the game' wasn't really what was required - more a bit of experience to not waste the ball in decent positions which Walcott was guilty of doing time and time again. I have no idea if Park would be any good at that sorta thing but given that we've bought him and it's all we have, we might as well use him.
Van Persie owes us, so if he starts making noises about leaving he should shut the fuck up and realise we've kept him on even though the logical decision would have been to ditch him. For the last 4 seasons, he's been paid wages despite being injured for most of the season, and then returning at the end of the season to score a few +1s to increase anticipation for next season.
He's 29, injury prone and hasn't really scored in big games. I doubt any big clubs would be interested in him tbh.
We didn't want to change the game, did we? That's what fucks me off, when we need to change it the guy persists but when it's going for us he changes it. Any if he thinks bringing extra defenders on makes any difference to our defensive capabilities then he's deluded. Plus when's he going to finally twig with Chamakh? How hard can it be to figure out the guy strengthens the opposition when he comes on?
