Schalke Vs. Arsenal

greendom

Did anyone think that Walcott's goal was very similar to Lineker's in the 1990 semi final WC game against Germany ?

Drexel

i missed the first half hour but we seem to be playing well. Poldolski seems to be tracking back a bit and the whole team looks hungrier. Awful time to give the goal away tho. A lot of players seem to be slipping. Santi slipped for thir goal and Kos I think slipped a few minutes before that and gave them a chance too.

Think Walcott did well for his goal. Kept a cool head and Girouds was a lovely finish. He is playing well.

wandatowell

Come on Arsenal!!

Mickeroo

Giroud over complicated that, should have headed it.

Soups123

Should have hit the target!

`loving Sky sports Go!

Mickeroo

Well done mannone, though in fairness the shot was pants. Big let off!

wandatowell

good chap vito. well done

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Good stop by mannone, expected Huntelaar to put that away for sure. Looked offside in fairness.

gandalf

FFS very lucky there! Pathetic defending!!!

Soups123

Kos behind the line again!

tayto lover

Giving the ball away too easily in midfield. Wilshere guilty that time. Sagna playing well though.

bad2dabone

dodged a bullet there looked a definite handball. We're under severe pressure here!

Leiva

Jeez Farfan is poor.

Mickeroo

Must say, though the team has somewhat crumbled around him in the last few games Mannone has done well. He's establshed himself as a worthy No. 2 to Chesney now imo.

It's getting all a bit panicky now, we need a third goal.

tayto lover

Walcott is very watery. Stand up ya wee fecker and challenge for it.

Looking very very poor a lot of the time tonight, good thing Schalke were afraid to shoot that time.

Soups123

There's definately a 3rd in this for us, just fear there's 2 in it for them!

Lucky boy there Arteta.

Mickeroo

**** off ref, that is ridiculous.

I love referees making it up as they go along. ****ing ridiculous.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

That was bullshit! No reason to stop it there.

tayto lover

Ref doing us favours again :rolleyes:

Worst. Yellow. Card. Ever.

Soups123

Bull**** ref, fcuking disgrace at this level stopping a game 4 cramp. Awful just awful

And a yellow card shocking

Benimar

Thats some bull***t call..and he books Podolski as well :rolleyes:

Drexel

i think that takes over RVP against barca for most ridicules decision in the CL. Where do they find the refs.

bad2dabone

jesus my heart! Fair play to Mannone, 2 good games in a row

He needs to learn to palm side wards

tayto lover

It's only a matter of time until they score if we allow them to come at us all the time. We have to try and keep possession here. Not holding onto the ball at all.

There you go

Mickeroo

Ah for ****sake. Here we go.

bad2dabone

ah **** off.

Pathetic.

Oh ffs

That an OG and an assist now 2 games in a row for our captain?

A blind man could see that coming. Very poor team spirit here again tonight. We are better than this surely. Getting no assistance from the bench either. Maybe time to bring on Arshavin for Podolski.

Why do we sit so deep and encourage teams to attack,can we not attempt to kill this game off

in fairness i dont really blame him for that one.

Some serious questions need to be asked about the way the team are being coached. Player for player we rnt that bad but we are a shambles as a team. Wenger has to take the blame for it im afraid

tayto lover

Cazorla just as bad at corners as the rest. Straight to first defender.

bad2dabone

There's a severe lack of bottle in this Arsenal side.

I just can't believe that we have a battering ram of a forward and none of them can put the ball on his head. It's pretty damning really!

I love the stand of the officials next to the goals.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Feck sake, Walcott should have left it for Podolski.

Think they gave it fo Farfan, was goin in anyway.

I wouldn't say that, they showed bottle against Reading last week. It's a severe lack of self belief and confidence.

.jacksparrow.

Is carzola on the pitch?

that was the reserves
but yeah, i agree. It's up to Arsene to make them believe. Something not right at the moment.

KaiserGunner

The amount of slips by our players tonight is unreal. Just wear the proper studs ffs.
