We're such an irrelevant team when it comes to the Champions League it's laughable.

Why aren't you playing a centre forward ?
Toughest game of the group, why bother putting out our strongest possible side? laugh

We could be 5 or 6 down by now, playing utterly st, sloppy defending and gung ho attacking, just like nothing has ever been learnt. Ospina has actually made several good saves to be fair.

For all the hype about Ospina before the game, that was the one selection change I didnt have a problem with! I personally think he's too good to be a backup keeper, but given the keeping issues Arsenal have had over the last few years I'm certainly not complaining that he's happy to stay as backup to Cech hehe

Fortunately for me I was occupied with football matters elsewhere tonight.

i don't understand why we're fielding a weakened side in the CL AGAIN!

I don't understand why Sanchez is continually selected to play up front when it's clear to the entire world except y that he can't play there.

We signed a top quality midfielder in Xhaka who was outstanding at Watford and he's been on the bench for the two games since.

The man is a moron, I'm raging now I can't imagine what I'd have been like if I'd watched it!

You can't understand why you're fielding a weakened side in the CL?!

Do any of you guys think you can win this competition?

The league is going to be tougher than ever to finish in the top four. I would say Arsenal should focus every effort on retaining that top four spot.

So they can get in the CL and not take it seriously again or earn the prize money and not spend that either?

Sounds solid.

So that they can field a weakened team in the CL the following year, so as to retain that top four spot? Rinse and repeat ad infinitum...

Heard the first half on the radio and saw most of the second half. fk me we were lucky/Ospina had a huge game.

Really don't understand the selection of that team. The really puzzling one was The Ox who has looked very poor in the last couple of games.

I can only assume that Xhaka has been bought to play with Ramsey?!?!

Or qualify for the Champions League again next season and strengthen again in the summer?

To what end? So they can finish top four again? Stan isn't interested in titles - just revenue.

No, but Arsenal need to keep qualifying for the Champions League to attract the top players - and keep players like Ozil and Sanchez at the club. Therefore qualifying in the top four for Arsenal is way more important than getting out of the group stages, especially when it's likely they wouldn't get much further!

Yep.....revenue stream is all that matters to Stan.

We won't ever win another PL title, and certainly not a CL title while he's at the helm.

Such a shame. I'm a massive Wenger fan, but it seems his hands are tied behind his back. 'The almost rans' just keeps going. Season after season. I would hate to be a Gunners fan...
