All well and good the crowd cheering his enthusiam but when you're down to 10 with a few minutes to go and trying not to lose by more do you really want your centre half bombing up the pitch?

Such a shame Pizarro chose to finish up as a bench warmer at Bayern. Still a 34 game a season starter even at 35. Fantastic player.

Theres worse ways to end a career

Koscielny and Flamini have been epic, Ozil and Wilshire have been anything but.

Gotze is Munichs expensive waste of space tonight.

3 - 0 would have been harsh

Gbear

That was lovely stuff from Kroos.

I love them. Just stepped into it.

I still wouldn't concede the tie hard yes but over far from it and same goes for City to write off a team from a 2-0 deficit is crazy.

Bayern's goals conceded in the league this year is in single figures. I'd be massively surprised if Arsenal managed to score 3 against them in Munich.

Moneymaker

Worth saying again.

Kroos just excudes class. Superb player.

Koselny shouldn't be acting the bollix with few mind left charging up the field and then not being able to do his no1 job when required. Cue more bleating from a manager about a ref after this.

klose

The number of quality midfielders Munich have is too damn high.

tayto lover

Good enough performance.
A man down against Bayern with 50 minutes left and only lost 2 nil.
Tie over I feel so we can get on with the league.

They are still lacking in that 'Cleverley' type player.

Only thing they're missing is another top quality striker, who is on his way in the summer.

At least Bayern -1 came in. Dirty money is dirty

retalivity

Been half watching this all night. Its looked like a training match in the 2nd half and its a shame arse conceded a second so late. Although they have won 2-0 before munich...
Pizarro is still playing??

Turtyturd

Not as convincing a scoreline as I expected but wont get much more comfortable than that for Bayern.

Quality.

The bench is massive too, they really are a quality side.

I know it will be hard but I certainly wouldn't say its impossible we bet them there last year and City have done it, it can be done.

I do think City have a better chance of turning it around when they get going they can score for fun.

Either way neither tie is over, if a Liverpool team can be 3-0 down with 45 mins gone in a Champions League final Arsenal and City have a decent chance of turning it around over 90 mins.

I find it hard to have any respect for someone like Götze. Product of Dortmunds academy moving to their main rivals.

corny

Hate agreeing with Dunphy but Ozil completely lacks convinction.

Das Bayern !!!

wandatowell

Done and done.

Tis fairly boring watching the ball being played around you.

gandalf

If I was honest before the game I expected us to get beaten 2-0.

Given they had over 50 minutes against us with ten men and only managed to score two says that we do stand a chance in Munich. We need all our players to put in the performance of the season but last year over there showed that we can lift ourselves for games like this and they are beatable.

That was a ridiculous decision!
Isn't he just there to ask the questions? What would that langer know!?

Serious character flaw.


If he wouldnt do it for Real Madrid, is he really going to fight for Arsenal?

cson

Can't really argue with that. Deserved win for Bayern. Immense effort from the majority of that Arsenal team through.

That was lost in 3 parts: (I) Not trying to win in Naples, (ii) Ozil missing the pen and (iii) Gibbs going off injured.

We did very well to hold them for 88 mins at 0-1 with ten men. Credit to Arsenal. We still have a chance going to the next leg at 0-2 down, IMO.

Not necessarily.

Robben will be banned for the second leg.

Will Ribery be back?

You don't need to be an expert to know that picking Sanogo was weird

Same old story from Arsenal. They are tactically so poor. Too many similar players who want to play nice football. Wenger might not be around after the summer.
Man city the same last night.
Sending teams out without being properly set up.
Benitez and Mourinho understood this and were always competitive.
Wasnt overly impressed with Bayern. Robben is still his same old self. Selfish as ever.
Be interesting to see who wins it out. Ive Madrid backed at 9/2.

Wilshere played well all things considered.

Expected result, quite happy with the performance actually.

He wont be, even if he was, it wouldnt matter. Didnt even notice Ribery wasnt playing.

Da fuq?

It was 0-0 until the sending off.

Wenger's out of ideas and is holding Arsenal back at this stage.

Terrible post. Tactically so poor? It took a red card for Bayern to look good they really didnt impress me that much tonight or give me reason to really think they are far superior.

Really!!! LOL did you actually watch the game. Before the sending off we were causing Bayern problems and shading the match.

You cannot quantify for your goalkeeper getting sent off. We played the so-called "best club team in the world" with ten men for over a half of a game and they only managed 2 goals against us.

Cop on!

Posts like this are the reason why this thread should be given a wide berth for the next day or so, to give people spout their shíte and vent and calm down.

You caused Bayern problems for the first 10 minutes but they were in control of the majority of this game including a large portion of it before the red card.

The red card and Bayern penalty hardly came against the run of play.

Houghton's not gettin a word in here edgewise

Eh? They're a point off the top of the league.

Its not exactly Blackburn last year, that's the European champions they've lost to having played 50mins a man down.

Love Ballack on Sky, 100% right there - players have to know if you take out a player and are last man, you're off.
