Match Reaction v AC Milan

[hymppi]

It's that time of year again guys, when our season spectacularly crumbles away.

It's like we keep trying to find new ways of ballsing it up every year.

this.
we get kicked out of fa cup, lose to spuds, tie against milan in london. and we're out.
oh, and rvp decides to go a club with courage and hunger to win things.
we're becoming a usual mid table team, lads.

[Marc Overmars]

midfield was horrible. Have you seen how often Arteta lost the ball in the 1st half and provided milan for their attack? he definitely lacks CL-experience. Ramsey has been poor as usual. And I still don't rate djourou.
Our whole season has been so frustrating! In fact, every season we become worse...

Wasn't there some stat about Arteta having a pass completion rate comparable to Xavi, Alonso, etc?

Well that was shown up good and proper tonight.

Horrible. The boys never got going at all. Disappointed with the lack of determination shown.

But there is an FA Cup game to play for on Saturday and I hope we can get through.

Don't know why. It always ends the same way. There is a distinct lack of quality and on today's performance, a lack of courage which is unforgivable.

But I continue to live in hope. Lets have a good performance and a win on Saturday.

Thats puting it midly, seems we never went their to win the game but to grab a few away goals and try and win it at home, well it failed.

Im so use to us being poor that im not even upset, its no shock at all.

any one see walcott on the pitch tonight? whats the fucking point of his pace if he doesnt fucking use it.


onlyp layers with any credit are kos and ox

Should have been a sub tbh Wenger fecked that 1 up.

Pathetic performance. The defence was a shambles, the midfield was non existent and they just picked us off as if we were a lower division side. The basic problem with players like Arteta, Ramsey and Rosicky is that they're nowhere near good enough at this level. There's hope for Ramsey because he's young, but we can't afford to carry 3 players in midfield and expect to get something out of a game.

People have been praising Arteta this season, claiming he keeps things ticking over and has been tidy. That may be enough against the likes of QPR, but we needed something more tonight against a top European team, and Arteta flattered to deceive, seemingly content to playing pointless 5 yard passes, allowing Milan to squeeze our midfield and eventually intercept.

Wenger has totally lost the plot. He's a terrible manager devoid of ideas these days, and he sooner he leaves the better.

WTF no Wumger interview ?

[Syn]

The domino effect might bury us. Cup game Saturday, Spurs and Liverpool the following two weeks.

Don't be silly - that never happens.

There is a very eerie inevitability about things now, isn't there?

I mean I guess we always expect it but I've never known it to be as transparent as it is now.

Very much a stat from Denilson's PC. Always going to be shown up in the CL proper. Fabregas was the main reason we could coast the group stages and compete in these ties.

Wenger got his tactics wrong . Why didn't he start with Ox and Walcott on the flanks ? Why not Coquelin instead of Djourou ? But we lost the game because AC Milan was much better . End of story .
