Lordy, but we were pretty poor last night.

[World's End Stella]

We played, well, a lot like them really. They were terrible at our place and equally bad last night, we just played down to their level.

Although if I think back to it, it could well have been 3-3 at halftime at the Emirates.

Can you imagine what Costa and Griezmann will do to us if we play like that?

[Luis Anaconda]

Both goals were attributable to poor keeping. Wilshere kept falling over and then eventually did his favourite thing of leaving his foot in and getting injured. Seals learn faster than that boy.

First goal was a fantastic save, would have been hard to get it further away than that - defenders didn't react

and add that Atletico Madrid have only conceded 15 goals in 31 La Liga matches this season... :browntrousers:

I agree, the initial save was excellent, but (and this sounds churlish, but really isn't...) his reaction time after the save was glacial. Had he been instantly up, he only needed to move two or three feet and he'd have had the near post covered.

Watch Mustafi's defending on that one. When Wenger does actually move on, I'll be curious to see whether the next manager is capable of acquiring and training defenders who can recognize the need to get close to, and stay with, attacking players in the box.

Yes - fair point. I think we can all accept we are talking about a keeper past his prime. I would though even cut him some slack for the second - the ball clearly dipped late (would like to see it from behind the goal). I blame modern balls, sir c - was thinking that when Laca had his chance in the first half - a nice Mersonesque chip would have been perfect here, but modern players simply don't do that anymore, probably because they don't trust the ball. Sad
