Dynamo Zagreb vs Arsenal

There's been some good defending from both CBs at different times but it's been the kind that only happens because of situations that shouldn't have arisen. Last-gasp blocks and tackles etc.

Stadium looks awful, why is there so much space between the pitch and the stands? Is there other sports played in it?

Running track.

that's going to happen when you're down to 10 men and trying to win a game

Selective amnesia is nothing new among a lot of Arsenal fans. Search back for the predictions before the season started and you'll see plenty did.

Can't find it, will search better after match, a name would be handy though

Ref acts the prick before all our free kicks

Marcus Antonius

Sorry how is that a free out? The ref has been bloody atrocious tonight

Really really poor stuff.

Happened before as well. Also been terrible from set-pieces where being down to 10 men is no excuse.

5 minutes is fair, two long delays and all the subs

He's the one who wants to see it. Why would I waste my time?

Ref is a complete homer.

Campbell could be off

Post #1920 onwards in the Arsenal thread. Enjoy.

Alfred Borden

Arteta, Ox, Gibbs, Santi and Giroud were the worst out of the worst.

Kirby

Ospina is a top keeper.

I think its easier for you to prove they exist than for him to prove they don't.

Ospina was quick there

Soups123

The **** out of Campbell and Giroud, the dives non stop by Debuchy and the underperformance by all stinks of what's up with this club

bad2dabone

Awful

Francie Barrett

Fair play Arsenal - no disgrace to be beaten away from home by a team like Zagreb.

I already did. Post #1920 on in the thread and it only took a 5 second search.

Marcus Antonius

Sure didn't even reach 5 (an unbelievable 5 should have been at least a few more) and the ref blew up. What a depressing bloody game.

Soups123

Here he is

keano_afc

There's nobody out there that would improve us though, right?

greendom

I've never gone for the poor attitude before but it was there in abundance tonight. Lazy and complacent

gandalf

Great save by Ospina!

Fair play to Zagreb they deserved that win. Its difficult being an Arsenal fan when they are underperforming like that!

Frankly, as rubbish as this is, I won't care if we beat Chelsea on Saturday. At least sacrificing these players will be worth something.

shano_88

Shocking result. Theres a couple from that starting line up that wont start a game for a while.


Debuchys diving was embarrassing.

Yep, Liverpool should knock them out......... Oh wait....

No-one we could get.

Wenger got from this game exactly what he put into it.

Bobby Baccala

Can't think of a worse way to start the champions league campaign really :pac:

Debuchy was absolutely muck, along with pretty much everybody else. Oxlade chamberlains worst performance in an arsenal shirt to date.

Fair play to Walcott for getting one back, if anybody could have done it, it was him.

What about the players? They were the ones who didnt perform.

Well Zagreb deserved that.

Never thought I'd be saying it but I throw my hands up Walcott should be getting a run at CF for the next few games no questions asked and that idiot who got himself self off for acting like a twat shouldn't be anywhere near the starting lineup

Brady aint wrong in what he's saying.

And that's why I don't bother proving anything to him because as soon as you do he goes quiet or changes the subject. Never admits he is wrong, or acknowledges it, and then he changes the subject to some other excuse.

Like i said. It's a waste of time.

At least ye were proven right and that is really what is most important, isn't it lads?

Not properly prepared.

99% sure if you gave me a couple of days to practice, I could deliver corners and free kicks better than our players do.

efb

Brady right, Giles talking though his hoop

Bull****.

wandatowell

Lads that was a disaster.

How many times have we performed similar to that in Europe???

There's a stink of arrogance when playing against what is refered to as lesser teams.

Nah I'm just being negative.

Giles living in the 70's.

I agree 100% with Brady

Was it arrogance when we played like that against Bayern/Barcelona/Milan?

Only way to find out if he'll work out at cf is throwing him out there for 3 or 4 games in a row and if he keeps up the scoring then leave him to it.

Typical Enlgish pundits. Rio, Gerrard and Wright absolving "the ox bruv" from all blame in the goal. Cant blame the english lad, blame the frenchy. :rolleyes:
