They seem to be hypnotised by his rare moments of magic which in all fairness he's got in his locker. But he is the laziest footballer I've seen in my whole life. Lacazette looks like Darren Bent and also plays like him now. Darren Bent is 34 years old on loan at Burton Albion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panflute 670 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 A sad exit for Wenger. I would've loved to see him in another European final, even if it wasn't the big one. But fair is fair, Arsenal didn't look like they were going to make it for even a second. They just lacked the quality and creativity to put the pressure on Atlético. Ramsey, Monreal and Bellerín looked pisspoor in particular. Every time they had the chance to create danger from the box, they just shot it straight into a defender or wide over all of their team mates. Arsenal must be kicking themselves they didn't finish the job in the home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 1,310 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Atletico weren't impressive at all in either leg and they don't pretend to be impressive. It's basically Mourinho's most effective version of Chelsea. And some of the attempts at analysis on here has been ridiculously stupid. Ozil's performance definitely wasn't lazy, he was all over the pitch and even came deep and tackled a few times. And that's not just with this game, statistically he usually runs around more than most players. Covered more ground than Alexis while he was at Arsenal but statistics are apparently lies whereas narrative peddled by moronic pundits is gospel which leads to the brain dead morons on ArsenalFanTV. There wasn't a lack of effort there, to suggest that suggests you weren't watching the game. Atletico defended deep and defended well, not many teams have found a way past that and we weren't good enough to find a way past that either. Xhaka & Chambers did well again, everyone else were nearly good but ultimately messed up right at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This offseason is looking like a good time to move on for Arsenal. Özil hasn't even been evaluated let alone re-evaluated mate. This guy is living a brilliant life off of performing when his teammates click. He doesn't carry anything and that's not a world class player for me. There is change at the club though, plenty of change that's been going on for about a year now. But so much needs to happen that it's scary.

"Parking the bloody bus" Although to put things straight... Never ever said I like El Cholo's brand of football at all. Just found it amazing that with a club with much less resources than many around has managed to compete with the monsters. This earlier today quoting Asura in another thread.

Lucas 3,827 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 It felt like Arsenal could have played till midnight and still wouldn't have found a way to score. Arsenal always seem to pay for lack of concentration. First leg it cost them, one moment tonight it cost them. You never feel like they have a clean sheet in them. And there are times when they look like they run out of ideas in front of goal and don't have the capabilities to mix up their game and find a way. That side out there tonight quite frankly had no belief they could ever turn that around for me, and that is sadly the reason why it's time for them to start a fresh.

6666 1,310 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 He may not have spent loads of money but Simeone still has a lot of good players in his squad. He can have his team play however he wants and it's definitely effective but you can't say that he has no choice but to play like this. This isn't like Burnley. He chooses to play like this, he wants to play like this and fairplay to him, it works. Simeone has a Mourinho poster up on his bedroom wall.

I think a better quality team or a better managed team would have found a way through tonight. I think there's a reason why Atlético have dropped down to the Europa and say this was the knockouts of the Champions League it would have been a different story for Atlético.

They dropped down because they didn't score enough. Defensively they conceded the least in their group. If we didn't gift them a goal at the Emirates and put our chances away then it would've been interesting to see how they would've played tonight but that wasn't the case and they played how they know how to play better than anyone right now.

Atletico had probably the better clear cut chances to make it 2-0 rather than Arsenal equalising. I didn't think Arsenal were bad but it was classic Atletico. They lull you into a false sense of security. Never mind Arsenal. Only the best sides draw 1-1 at home and lose 1-0 at Atletico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's more negative than Mourinho tbh. And his teams are usually really fucking dirty. I hate him & Atletico tbh. But Arsenal were poor unfortunately, and we won't see a happy ending for Wenger. Hope he gets a nice send off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's surely going to go down as one of the most underrated defenders of this generation. Easily the best South American CB and one of the best in the world. I honestly think in terms of pure defensive attributes, he's the best on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
