Not just showing Robben in on his left foot but actually jumping in such a way to actually give him no option was beyond naive, I couldn't help but laugh when they showed it

I'll be honest - I couldn't tell Mustafi from Iwobi from my seat, so I wouldn't want to judge anyone's performance. We'd only just got in by that point thanks to ridiculously ****ed up entrance system - which despite the huge amount thrown at the Germans was as far as I could tell all down to Arsenal and the need to check ****ing passports for a game of footballQuote:

Did Withnail enjoy his evening? :-(Quote:

He certainly enjoyed the day - the evening not so much. Didn't see him after the game but he managed to make it back to his hotelQuote:

Iwobi looked a rabbit in headlights and Coq like a Charlton CM. Thought the Ox was one of our better players.....until the 5th goalQuote:

I think Coq has been pretty poor for a while now. I think he used to over compensate ability with intensity.Quote:

I'm guessing that he does well when we set ourselves up to keep it tight. Which isn't very often, of course.Quote:

Bizarrely for a footballer his main qualities exist when he does not have a ball at his feet. As an American may say, go figure.
However given his (over-elevated) status as a tenacious, snappy, aggressive midfielder one would have at least hoped have seen him employ his limited skills on the pitch last night, instead one could have been totally unaware he was actually on the pitch.
Then again our midfield is in a bit of a muddle, a mess even, certainly appears void of a plan.
I blame Wenger.
I'd have played Elneny.Quote:

And bringing on Walcott? what's he going to do in a game like that?
Yeah - imagine Walcott coming on and changing a game against top European opposition. Never happened before :shrug:Quote:

Not that I like Mourinho.

And form & reputation is one and the same thing anyway; you have a reputation because you've shown good form.
If this was true Pogba would have been dropped by United by nowQuote:
