They won't have to try too hard, based on the performance of the last two games

It'd be typical of us to turn up against a good team after being absolutely ****e against two piss poor teams. Won't be holding my breath mind you

We beat Zagreb and Olympicos and were ok no?

They'll both be playing Bayern when they've already qualified. 7 points is the fewest anyone qualified with last year so we need a point or 2 from Bayern and thr other 2 to cancel each other out.

Lahinchians

That game and rubbish performance from most of the team has pushed me over the edge. Wengers time is up. I mean losing 3-2 to olympiacos. Disgracefu!

Have to win the weekend now

wonga77

Watching the Zagreb game and the commentator remarks that the result was the biggest in their history. Same lines being muttered tonight about Olympiakos. Somethings seriously wrong when we're on the recieving end

Looper007

I don't know, what can you say after that. It's heartbreaking stuff. We're just so easy to read it's crazy, put ten men back and then hit us on the break. I'm seriously worried that Ozil and Alexis and one or two others might hand in that transfer request next summer. The Champions League is everything to these type of players and now another defeat to Bayern and it's goodnight Vienna.

Watching Wenger's Arsenal in 2015 is a bit like watching new episodes of The Simpsons. It still conjures up some fond memories but you wish it had ended a long, long time ago.

I'm nicking that one

Take it we won't be hearing the crap excuses from Wenger after all. Was only waiting up to watch it. I dunno why, think that match was enough torture for the one night!

It's Wenger setting new records.

Pudders

So on a bus leaving the ground.

The positive:
Gabriel has heart. He ran 30 yards to protect his team mates in the 1st half when the Greeks were picking a fight. 2nd half he was the one running to get the ball back in play etc.

The negatives
Never seen so many empty seats at a CL game. Shocking.
Wenger and his decision to rest Cech.
Ospina - a sit in the west stand upper - haven't seen a replay but it looked over the line to me. The official had buzzed immediately and Ospina didn't seem to argue too much.
Gibbs - terrible terrible
Ozil - huge fan normally but terrible tonight.
Kos - how bad is the injury as he is our rock?
The cheese burgers £8.50 for a meal and they are rank.
Never saw so many leave so early. Have heard louder boos.

We will get destroyed by United if we play like that.

Wenger has to go.

1 more positive - even deluded Wenger will see he needs to spend now.

Has to win the League now. Not just the game. Going out of the CL early will have him just that step closer to getting the sack.

Wenger doesn't deserve players like Sanchez I would hate to see him go but I really think he should, he is wasting his best years with a donkey

Alfred Borden

The new manager (eventually) will have some job on his hands. Short in numerous areas and an extremely poor mentality ingrained on the squad.

For me the worst thing is that for the first half hour they didn't even do that. They had their line on the halfway line which you'd expect to be suicidal stuff against us.

First post here so might as well say hi guys!

Horrible result obviously, but they did get two fluky goals that put them in that prime position. Still completely unacceptable. I was raging at the Zagreb match, but this time, I just feel sad.

Feel for Alexis, he was literally running everywhere and got a brilliant goal. I wonder what thoughts were going through his head when his goal was completely cancelled out due to the shambolic defending straight after. He's going to be wrecked for the big game on the weekend as well.

Etc.

Insert your own excuse here Wenger lovers.

This type of ****e has to stop now. We're all here because we support the team, we'll still be supporters after the current Manager is gone.

I've been pro the manager up until now, but watching the same tactics week in, week out and expecting a different result is idiocy. I'm not one for knee jerk reactions but it's painfully obvious there is something wrong at the club. Players are not good enough for the first team, no motivation, tactics are non-existant, a woeful transfer policy to name just a few. The win at Leicester at the weekend probably glossed over a few issues, but the same problems keep re-occurring now and it is worrying.

Trying to split the fan base into two camps is not the way we progress though, we need to come together in a.) supporting the team and b.) deciding on who will take us forward as the next manager.

However, I firmly believe the Board have many questions to answer to, and unfortunately I don't see us progressing until the current Kroenke regime is replaced.

Check out Scott Davis on Twitter. Pretty much sums it up. Different personnel, but the same underperforming team. Only one constant, and he needs to go. Klopp, Pep, Ancellotti available next summer. We need to move on.

We need someone to show a little passion on the sidelines, plus someone who bring a new lease of life to the club, fans and players. Klopp would be the man.

No I don't believe that at all. The squad is excellent with the exception of two areas. Currently it is not performing for the current manager. With a top level manager who the players respect and fear we can turn things around quite quickly.

emergingstar

When you think

Pep
Klopp
Ancelotti

Will be available in the summer, then things will need to be seriously looked at

We are piss poor and our manager is past it

It's past getting close anymore, it's about winning it even finishing second and been only two points or so behind the winner I want him gone. We can't be happy with getting close anymore.

We need someone who can send a team out with a gameplan, and who is tactically astute enough to have an influence on a game.

Where are all the Pro-Wenger posters with their logical reasons to keep Wenger?

Arsene has another season after this and he won't be getting fired.

We also need another left back to replace Gibbs as sub. He's useless.

Don't give a toss for "every other team". Quit using that as an excuse.
Concentrate on Arsenal.

Who cares about the other teams. It's our team we should be looking at and we have been under performing for years in the CL while the likes of Chelsea and Utd have gone on to win the damn thing. We need to look at ourselves instead of bringing in other sides.

Yep Harry is spot on he runs the club, he answers to no one

Imagine a club were the manager has nobody to answer too, really highlights the problem.

I'll wake up happy the day he is gone

Gibbs is the backup. Monreal is the first choice.

Our two areas of priority are a striker and a defensive midfielder.

Gibbs is not good enough to back-up anyone.
