There was a time that , hell, even a rubbish team like Stoke might play 4-4-2 at home while playing 4-6-0(essentially) away from home, I'm god damned embarassed that a manager who insists he's got the same philosophy as always, all out attack, will play 4-5-1 away to Barca, and at home not only to Liverpool, but Stoke, and any other rubbish team that comes our way.
We dominated and ran out of idea's because we had one striker, who kept dropping deep, at home, against EVERYONE we should be playing 4-4-2 with two strikers its as simple as that.
We've started treating home games like tough away ties, and mentally thats completely changing how we play at home.
Referee made two bif decisions and he got them both right no question
The only thing lacking was good timekeeping. The freekick that led to the penalty was 11 minutes into 8 minutes of extra time.
Adding 3 minutes for a penalty celebration by rVp was a joke

Totally agree Kenny, too much crap is said about how managers act. It's about what happens on the pitch.
Or the fact Arsenal took about 3 minutes to move from 3 yards away to 10 yards away.

Where was I bitter, I think you'll find I've been laughing at those who thought we could win the title this year, since 4 years ago, never once claimed we could win a title this year in anything but fluke and have repeatedly claimed with Wenger at the helm we'll play exactly as we did today, not good enough.
Bitter........ about being spot on all year, doesn't make too much sense does it?
Even when it looks impossible to throw it away, Arsenal still manage to do it. They are bottlers.
It's so easy to defend against them at home. Two banks of four with counter attacks and there's no plan B. They're only successful away because home teams will comes at them, leaving gaps at the back to exploit.
Doing the same things year on year and expecting a different result at the end of the season is insanity. Wenger has been great for Arsenal, but surely he needs to open his eyes and change philosophy - it's just not working.

The whistle should have blown as soon as the ball went up in the air after it hit the wall from the free kick.
I said when Arsenal were playing Barcelona they weren't good enough the team weren't up to it and they shouldn't be able to go through.
Think a few Arsenal fans said I was spouting rubbish at the time, think the last few weeks have shown how good Arsenal really are.
Great team of technical ability but so so weak and fragile lacking a proper leader and experience in the team.
You can not expect boys to rally boys in such a game when they are down and need a kick up the back side.
You need that big strong experienced player who is there to tell them wtf they are meant to be doing.

The way that Arsenal fans turn on their team is pathetic. They always give me the best laughs whenever I listen to the phone ins etc. The majority of Arsenal fans don't deserve to have the team they have. Try getting behind them, it makes a difference.

No it doesn't. When the manager doesn't change his tactics and even though the personnel change the same things happen year in year out people quite rightly lose their patience.
It's all very good and well wenger moaning about the time being longer than 8 minutes but I guarantee you that if this had been arsenal v utd and it had been arsenal who scored past the time he wouldn't be saying diddly about it, hypocritical git.
Ive got no problem with the team
Its another year that compared to the other top 6 weve spent F all money yet are probably going ot finish 2nd in the league and ended up runners up in one of the cups
For a team that spends F all money improving its squad i have no complaints
