I would say the same thing except that Schalke did not wait in their half all game long and counter, they actually outplayed Arsenal for long stretches of the game and were far more direct..........Farfan what a beast.
True, I was referring more to Arsenal's non-performance than anything else. It's not so much that Schalke outplayed us, but more like they didn't have anyone to play against.
A deserved victory for Schalke, that comming from an Arsenal supporter. I cannot believe That they would let Giroud out of the starting squad. Also the subs what the hell. Too late and IMO the wrong ones, not because who came in, but who went out. Santos should have come out by half time if not earlier. I thought Coquelin and Ramsey would come out to make way for Giroud and Arshavin, but Bould decided to take out the best defender and some one who can be a game changer. I would even go as far as to say that the second goal could have been prevented if Jenkinson was on the pitch.
Really embarrassed by our current form. We really need to play a more defensive style since our players are struggling to break the likes of Norwich. I really hope we can win the group. Facing a team like Madrid, Barca, Bayern or even Malaga will result in an early embarrassing exit. Anyways, what a week for German football!
True, Bpl may still be one of the most exciting leagues to watch, but the quality of football has certainly taken a hit. Chelsea losing to Shaktar, Arsenal losing to Schalke at home, United barely beating Braga and the champions of England failing to even qualify from the group stages. Few years ago, it was these teams which were battling it out at the latter stages of the competition with Barca being the only team outside England, good enough to compete.
Did you even watch the United game? We looked weak for the first 20m then dominated the rest of the game and deserved the 3 goals we scored and even had a goal disallowed for a bad offside call.
You don't just get "lucky" and score 3 goals. You play well to get those goals.
Huntelaar would have been a great signing for Arsenal.
Wait, when did Norwich start playing in blue?
Tomorrow's gonna be a VERY interesting AST meeting...
