Arteta has really curbed his influence as the game has gone on.

Koscielny looking sluggish, Lewandowski must be weighing him down what with him being in his pocket and all.

Cazorlas shooting threat has really opened it up for us. Ozil getting into it a bit more out wide.

AdamD

Ozil doing one for the team sticking out right to give us proper width

Lawrence1895

Tis will be some very long minutes...I don't trust that scoreline...me nerves

AdamD

Shouldn't be on the pitch.

Typical Lewandowski putting the ball into the net.

Yeah. In his pocket. What with him having 30 yards of space for his goal and all.

Meh, was true when I said it.

NabyLadistheman

Brilliant goal. Dortmund been poor on the break, thought Arsenal could nick it before that counter

Oat23

Was convinced that Arsenal would grab a winner. Goal from nowhere for BVB then..

bad2dabone

sick about that to be honest, lewa should have been off for that elbow, and we were well on top.
Dortmund a quality team though

klose

King slayer!

Brings back memories of Batistuta back in 99 at Wembley. He done nothing...got one ball....BANG!! Thats the difference between the real top class strikers

EuropeanSon

Come on Nicky B. Two goals now and I'll start to forgive you for clearing that shot off the line.

That's a lie, no way would I do that

Elbow me bollix. He put his arm up like all players do when the balls in the air. It's his fault if an Arsenal player runs into it? It's not like he swung his arm......it wasn't even moving.

AdamD

Referee's horrid

klose

Why are people leaving?

DubDani

Could be hard work now for Arsenal to qualify. Trips to Dortmund and Napoli to come.

Dortmund on the other hand will play both still at home.

.jacksparrow.

Ah well can't win them all!

If there is one thing worse then losing in this manner its having to listen to that Trevor Welch. He just loves to see us lose.

Saying dortmund played brilliant, ye maybe for the first 20 mins.

AdamD

Hes actually blown that up before the 3 minutes when half of added time the ball has been in touch, wow.

Feel like hes given us absolutely nothing

Lawrence1895

Boooooooooooooooooooooooorussiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

That's so amazing

klose

Draw was a fair result imo but makes the group very interesting, tough 2 away games in germany and italy for arsenal

cson

Nuclear scenario comes to pass.

Think we deserved something from that; definitely we're the better team in the second half but that's the lesson when you play the top quality sides - you get punished for any lapse in concentration.

WP BVB.

Lawrence1895

Bring on the derby now, I wouldn't complain about the same result

Awesomeness

Unlucky tonight. We showed we can definitely mix it with the big guns. Were the better side for most of the match and got to see santi and ozil work well together.

Need to make sure we do the job in the league in the next few weeks and head to Dortmund knowing we can get something there

efb

Ref was whistle happy and Dortmund exploited that

cson

Ref wasn't ideal but tbh that's no excuse. He didn't make any outrageous calls against us. We basically made one individual error which led to a goal (which the keeper arguably should have saved anyway) and then got caught up the pitch by one of the best if not the best counter attacking team in the game. As I said; you get punished when you make mistakes against the best in the world and Dortmund are amongst the best in the world. Hopefully they learn from this going forward, bounce back versus Palace and get ready for the Liverpool - Dortmund - United run of games.

Tbh we've shown better form away from home over the last 20 games. I think we could do Napoli away and a draw against Dortmund is doable

spiralism

I dont think Arsenal should get too down over this, Dortmund are at worst a top four side in europe and are after all the current runners up.

It's the old point but English football isnt up to scratch on the continent, two of the top four in the premier league have now been beaten at home by the German top two and one of them in utterly humiliating fashion. Its mad to actualy think but if both teams had fully fit squads available the only Arsenal player who is a shoe in to make a "best 11" between them would be Ozil imo. Would take Gundogan & Bender over Arteta & Flamini and would only fit Ozil in with Mkhitaryan and Reus behind Lewandowski. Dortmund's starting back four i'd maybe replace Schmelzer with Gibbs and that's it.

efb

Still think Dortmund were the better side. We were hoping for a draw at home and Dortmund knew exactly what to do. I think I'd have been upset if an Arsenal player had been sent off for a challenge like Lewandowski's so I won't complain about that. We were missing Flamini big time in front of the back four.
