What. The. Fuck.
 
We could play this tie for 10 hours and we wouldn't get a shot on if we continue like this.

We've been fantastic at closing down and limiting Dortmund to the counter-attack, but if there is any evidence needed that Giroud cannot lead our line, this is it; we have offered nothing going forward in this game. 80% of our passing has been in the middle of the pitch
 
Fucking hell, can't find a stream but 35 minutes in and we've had two players injured from shocking challenges, and McCulloch's had stitches and came back on with a Butcher/Prso
prso
style bandage 10 minutes later. Dirty dunfermline cunts.


I take it Dortmund are just sitting back and hitting arsenal on the counter?

Edit: Eto'o <3

giroud is nothing without thierry walcott by his side

We played terribly against Bayern too and somehow managed to score two goals. I can't say I'm too concerned. Biggest worry is just Arteta picking up another foul and getting sent off.

So Arse-GAF it seems we're keeping the ball mostly between our DFs and DMs. Seems we're having problems linking up with our midfield which in turn have problem with getting the ball to Giroud. Gnabry in pls.

edit: Kakaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Scoring against Barcelona. The Madrid powers he left behind are becoming useful!

edit2: OG? Uefa said Kaka scored.

arsenal have failed to create a single chance.

a draw would be grand.

this team really needs walcott, especially in a game like this one. he provides pace and width.

0 - Arsenal did not manage a single shot in the first half versus Borussia Dortmund. Stifled.

You'll win and you'll love it.

2-1 Arsenal.
 
I wonder if Galliani'll leave his seat on the 5th goal.
I think he'll just start fucking Barbara while screaming "I'm the one with the gold ties".

Great job piqué, someone had to attack for Milan.
Robinho upfront was actually a bad choice. That's something new as well, right?

Kaka gonna tear the MLS up in 2015.
If he keeps this form, he'll be one of the best players in the MLS in two years. He's really good even after all those injuries and everything else, amazing.

Walcott is crucial to the way we play and games like this only prove it. End product or not, his very presence stretches the play. Rosicky is fucking useless on the wing and would be useless just about anywhere on the pitch in a game like this with his complete lack of strength or pace. He hasn't even had a particularly poor game so far, but Gnabry needs to come on at half time. Or, if Wenger's playing for the draw, then bring on Jenkinson.
 
Need to scare this BVB defence further back, they're able to squeeze the space so well because we're offering no threat in-behind.

May have to take off Rosicky/Cazorla for Gnabry.

What I will say is that Poyet's way of playing football is showing a lot more clearly tonight. Don't think O'Shea or Bardsley are up to it though. Looks like the ball morphs into a sphere of dynamite when it comes into contact with their feet.
