"Madness at this stage even if it turns out that he is MOTM."

Basically, he could score 30 goals and you'd still think it was a bad decision?

If it pays off and he does well, it's a genius move. No two ways about it. If he has an awful game and scores an own goal before getting sent off, then you have a point.

Why must the glass always be half empty?

The lad has at most 90 minutes of first team football under his belt and now he's sent in against the best team in Europe FFS. Its madness but apparently Wenger has nobody else for that position and that's mad too.

You should go out and put 100e on him being MOTM though :rolleyes:

He is an untried rookie and should not be included.

If he scores and helps to win the game for Wenger, he'll be held up as a genius, greater than Michaelangelo, all the poets, and Mozart put together.

I'm a little, he wasn't great against pool, though neither has giroud for a few weeks now, what upsets me is that we should have someone better starting.

Good luck tonight lads:) Id give my left nut for Spurs to be in your shoes now instead this bore fest Europa League

gnfnrhead

What happened Gibbs? I looked away and then Nacho is getting ready. A tackle or muscle injury?

Ah here... We don't deserve this..

Edit; yes!!

gnfnrhead

That was dull first half :pac:

Never a red. Can it be appealed?

Roddy23

Sanogo could be a nice little catalyst between now and the seasons end in the league. Very impressed with his contributions so far.

Godge

Sczesny has made mistakes like that too often, I thought he had learnt.

Still, all the Liverpool fans jumping all over the match thread make me sick. It was a peno, but the red was doubtful.

Roddy23

If we can get at Dante I think we'll have some success. He's already been booked. Get some pace in behind him.

Maire2009

Hoping Boateng will do something stupid shortly and it gets evened out to 10 v 10.

It was a penalty but the added red is ridiculous. The ball was gone, Robben never would have made it ... he always does the acting like he got shot very well to ensure he gets players sent off.

Ah come on what was he meant to do? It wasn't a blunder he had to go for it tried to avoid hitting Robben but did can happen to any goalkeeper. Never a red though.

There are a few of them that jump in on every Champions League game doing down the English team. It is quite sad actually given Liverpool haven't been near Champions League football for a few years.

Not doing themselves any favours if they get through next season.

I never said anything about the match thread just Liverpool fans in general on here, there are some excellent posters who are Liverpool fans such a Nuri Sahin but they also seem to have the largest amount of bad posters.

I asked a simple question. Arsenals biggest game of the season and you are giving out about Liverpool fans, it's a bit strange.

Very funny but there is a return leg to come as well as a F.A. quarter-final against Everton. Plenty of big and bigger games to come.

I wasn't trying to be funny. This is a much bigger game than Everton.

But it is not as big as the second leg and it is only the round of 16.

Soups123

Disappointing result. 11 V 11 it was game on.

Ref was right with the red and after that it was just impossible against a team like this, they used the bench really well.

Ozil needs a serious kick up the hole his head really is down at the min.

Really need to focus all our energy on the league now, great chance to win that.

+1.
Us down to 10 men, you can't really talk about the game.
Good effort, especially in the first 30 minutes.
I would be concerned about the level of fatigue for the Saturday game. But I guess with Cazorla and Ox substituted, we will probably be grand.

Unlucky tonight. At least two goals will bring it to ET in Munich this time

Looper007

Disappointing our keeper went all crazy cause we were really in the game in first 35 minutes. Bayern showed their class in the second half.
Ozil was awful. Kos was immense.

In fairness if he didn't come out and they scored you'd be equally pissed. The run was excellent and he made his decision.

Not a morale beating defeat by any means

emergingstar

Montreal at fault for the pen

Raeally worried about Saturday

TimeToShine

Koscielny was terrific, Wilshere and Flamini ran their hearts out. Ozil was disappointing, I really want to make excuses for him but at this stage I just can't. He needs to be dropped for a while. We also desperately, desperately missed Walcott and Ramsey.

Marty McFly

2-0 down everyone including our own fans writing off the tie as over already.

To me that just screams an Arsenal European comeback like we have done before. This tie is far from over Bayern as much a good team they are didn't really impress me that much tonight or give me reason to think the tie is over.

I'd drop Ozil for a start, he's in need of a rest and kick in the ass.
Giroud, Pod and Rocisky should get a start.

I've no complaints the guy's did as well as they could in the second half. One wonder goal and a tired mistake for the goals. Still in the game. I think the FA Cup and League should be our concern. Go all out in the 2nd leg and give it a try.

Alfred Borden

Thought first 35 minutes we were on their level and were unlucky not to be ahead. Red card (deservedly so) killed the game and us off. Was expected though, its not a competition we can realistically challenge for until we get a few more pieces this summer. Focus on the next two league games and Everton in the cup, far more important games for me.

no, i mean if we take how we started into some other games this season we'll be doing well. A shame Gibbs got injured which led to nacho coming on and he failed to see the run from robben, and Woj was a bit...hasty with the tackle.
Don't blame the ref - but the rule itself is harsh. ruins the match.

Delighted with the start but thought it was a bit unlucky with the red, serious effort shown after that but why leave on a player who is going to contribute absolutely NOTHING, that was one of the laziest performances I have seen from Ozil! Wilshere was roaring at him in the first half to start closing down, he doesn't seem to care when it comes to defensive duties! When it comes to attack he runs the ball out of play when under pressure

True but rather have had 11 men and been a goal down cause we could have got back into it. But it is what it is.

No not a bad defeat considering we were agaisn't the best team in the world and we were ten men down. Only been beaten two nil doesn't put us out, we still a chance.

gosplan

A exit without losing morale is actually hard to manage but we might get there.

Go easy on Ozil, he was running into 2/3 players every time he got the ball.

AdamD

If we play with the same intensity as we did in the first 30 minutes for the rest of the season, we'll have a chance at a trophy. Sanogo's raw but having a bit of pace through him and Ox really really helps.

Disappointed, but optimistic.

emergingstar

I would rest ozil Saturday cause he is wrecked

I don't get the hate about tonight he is not a left back

Alfred Borden

Ozil worked his socks off tonight and was very good for the first 35 minutes. Im not going to let a penalty miss blur my judgement.

gnfnrhead

A good performance overall, bar the result of course.

Obviously losing Gibbs is a blow, but hopefully he will miss almost no time. Fabianski did well when he came on. Chamberlain and Wilshere played well. Sanogo looked good too.

Think Özil was the only real negative from the players. Another poor showing for him. Sunderland on Saturday next. Thats a must win game now.

greendom

13.5kms for Flamini - that's astonishing.

Shows that saying Ozil is not putting the effort in is incorrect too

I don't agree with that, in the sense in taking it easy on him. His run up to the peno was awful, lack of heart or real desire in it. After that he was strolling around the field and given the ball away. His tracking back was awful and should have been subbed.

Maire2009

That was a hell of an effort - the first was a wonder goal the second was tiredness. I love Ozil and I know "it's not his game" and I've made excuses for him before, but christ, Cazorla at least tries to close his man down, Mesut jogs around, he couldn't even be bothered to take a run up to the penalty. He thinks he's undroppable and Wenger needs to sort that ASAP - drop him for the weekend.

Giroud thought he was undroppable too - watch him play like a beast now that Sanogo has got a start and the fans are taking a liking to his efforts. On the fans - how amazing was the Emirates tonight - would have loved to have been there.
