We had the chances to win it. You’d have put your house on Van Persie scoring when he was one-on-one. Rosicky’s brilliant pass there was one of the only right decisions any of our players made with regards to the ‘final ball’.

We had the ball in fantastic positions, we had players open - with the right decisions and the right, simple passes, we’d be in on goal. Defensively very solid and determined winning the ball back. Passing - very good working it upto the final third. After that, the wrong choices cost us the win. Ramsey and Van Persie should have converted the clear cut chances we did create. Thought Marseille did a good job too.

Not a horrific result. Plenty of positives - Jenkinson, Mertesacker and Vermaelen at the back were fantastic. Should be very interesting to see what defence Wenger puts out on the weekend - annoyingly, I think Koscielny will be left out again.
