Verratti playing crap
I knew that corner was going in before he had even kicked it. That was how predictable it was.
Cavani is so wack

Imagine paying £80m for this bottler
There's going behind, then there's throwing away a lead. Better than being mauled 6-0 mind you.
Cavani is an absolute bottler - if PSG don't top the group now :colonhash:

It's rare to see a player with movement as good as that but with finishing as bad as that...

Our fanbase is absolutely embarrassing. ****ing shameful.
Oh, and that second PSG goal put them top of the group on h2h, we're now counting on Bulgarian shepherds to get a result in Paris (and us to win at the abattoir of English football clubs in Basel)
Look on the bright side, at least you can't get Bayern Munich or Dortmund (you'd expect Real to win at the Bernebeau)
F*cking done with Wenger starting Coquelin.

I want either Madrid, Barca, Juve or Athletico. No one else.
dissapointing result due to the make-up of the group..

but not loosing big games seems to be a trend of this season. With the exception of liverpool on the first day, we have drawn with spurs, drawn with leicster, drawn twice with PSG, drawn with man united..

The only big game we really turned up for was chelsea.

To be honest, its better the getting hammered 6-0 / 8-2 as we were a few years back, but its not exactly a title-winning or CL-contending mentality.

Not got much emotion any more about not topping the group.. doing it on H2H away goals is just typical arsenal tbh.

(at least were not spurs... always jump over that low bar)
I don't understand all the moaning from Arsenal fans. Yes you were poor against Boro, embarrassing against us and not much better against PSG, but you haven't lost any of those games. In previous years you'd have lost 2, possibly even all 3.

There's a different mentality within your squad this season.

We haven't lost in 18 games, we're gonna be good.

Joke of a fanbase we are.
Arsenal are finished in CL and PL. It's the same old story.

its a weird season for us.. For 95% of the season we have looked really poor.. completly lacking in any cutting edge, focus, ruthlessness or even effort in most games..

but as you said, we have been getting results despite playing poorly. We are in a good position in the league, and have done well in the CL (a lot better then last year)

The problem is what happens next. We cant keep getting these (often lucky) results whilst playing badly..

Either:

1, we will start to play well and go on a streak of crushing teams
2, our luck will end and results will reflect our poor performance..

If the first happens people will be lauding our new strong mentality of grinding out games even when poor. but I think most arsenal fans are more worried about the 2nd right now.

They're three points off first with 70% of the season to go. How hyperbolic are you lol?

Gonna repeat it again. Many fans are sick and tired of the outdated methods and tactics used by Arsene. Unlike Sir Alex he never evolves his game. He comes up with silly excuses whenever it doesn't go his way, such as stadium debt, financially doped competitors, bad luck with injuries (totally your responsibility Arsene). And last season with a bunch of nobodies winning the title, Arsene really should have no choice but to tender his resignation. Instead, we are greeted with the same old story. Watching Arsenal is like watching England now. So full of promise yet conspire to throw it away late on. And hence leaving with nothing.
