Arsenal 2-0 Marseille | Champions League 26/11/13

Wilshere was the obvious MOTM, but Ramsey created so much and could easily have nicked 2 or 3 assists. Ozil was much better in the second half, Flamini was as reliable as ever, as were the back 5, so much easier to have faith in our defense these days - they will make mistakes but their general form is one giant pair of safe hands.

We cruised in an annoying manner but got the job done and played some passages of lovely football - just needed to be more mature in the final third.

ITV confirm that a loss at Napoli by 2 goals means we go through.

Shit Pen from Ozil. Got himself an assist though, and wasn't too bad overall
Ramsey and Wilshere great
Giroud was a donkey
We have conclusively found out #1 in Szczesny

Said it over again, put him back to where he belongs amongst the attacking line and watch him get back to his best, leave CM and deep play to who it suits i.e Flamini, Ramsey, Arteta.


He been playing in that line practically all season.


Yes but people were advocating him playing deep centre last season when Wenger tried him there, glad Wenger's seen sense and using his more natural talents.

dont mean to sound ungrateful, but that was the most unsatisfying 2-0 win ever, considering it should have been 8-0!

Moan over, group of death nearly navigated like bosses!!!

We can still end in the EL.


Hence the nearly. Hardly anyone gave us a chance when the groups were drawn. We are a maximum 2-0 loss away from qualifying.

PLAYER RATINGS UP

We should rest Ozil at the weekend but only Ozil as Cardiff have form at home and then bring him back for the Napoli game where we will hopefully be highly motivated. Top spot is precious this year.

He wasn't terrible ......but, same old sh*t, falling on his face outside the box like a baby giraffe, screwing up some final balls, needs to tidy up his game outside the box.

If he sorted that issue out he would of looked a lot better, Rosicky had moments as well but made up for them 2nd half.

Don't think he was "donkey", dropped deep few times and started chances but overall he was average imo.

Wind it in Zinc, Mods are people with opinions as well.

Rather that than them acting like stuffy policemen.

Getting ridiculous now. You're just looking for any reason to have a pop. Not worthy of being singled out, not at all.
