Maybe Bayern were complacent again?

Of course. We had 6 points, you zero. We all know you're world beaters when you've made sure you've got nothing to win hmm

Really, losing to Zagreb and Olympaikos was all part of the plan, in preparation for tonight hmm

Now that you lost those two games and made winning the group practically impossible for yourselves, I expect you put in a world class performance and beat us in at least one of our matches.

A mate of mine at work bet me Munich would steamroll Arsenal and I bet vice versa. Loser buys lunch

That mofo is taking me to the effing shard this weekend. Beluga caviar and Moët & Chandon all round.

This I like.

Arsenal did not dominate Bayern. They didn't, period.
Not saying we dominated them either, as we didn't create much more than them. But this arseblog thing is drivel from some wise arse getting giddy for a change.

Also, I wan't going to complain but this is a bit too much Laughing

“I’ve had a bit more luck than in recent weeks, so I’m making the most of it,” Giroud said. “For a striker, it always works in cycles and I know that. You can’t start doubting yourself. All the qualities are there – I just needed a helping hand from destiny, and tonight it worked out in my favour.

by Sri Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:03 pm

That was the hand of Neuer not reaching the ball :coffee:

Also, Hans, stop being in denial. The blogger clarifies in the very next sentence what his definition of 'domination' is.

Mind you, not that I share the same perspective. But I can bring myself to say that the way the said blogger defines his premise helps him prove his point, from his perspective. Just as you have yours and I have mine. :coffee:

by Hapless_Hans Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:08 pm

You should know that I am very prejudiced against arseblog. Don't even know why, but they are clowns IMO.

by Jay29 Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:13 pm

I disagree with his definition entirely. A team can create great chances from set-pieces and be inferior in every other area on the pitch, so would you still say that team was dominating?

Stats are great but first and foremost you have to judge by what you see with your own eyes, and in no way on that pitch last night were we dominant.

by Sri Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:19 pm

Again, to clarify, I never agreed with his definition either - so don't construe it as my defending him. I have always argued against the use of stats to make any judgments on players or games.

(By the way, the stats blog isn't written by Arseblog himself - it's written by another guy called Anam or something).

by Hapless_Hans Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:27 pm

No need to get defensive sri, although I'm absolutely disgusted that you would post a link to something I disagree with.

I really don't see what Vidal offers Bayern. He's like a glorified Khedira in Pep's system. His passing is average most of the time and he can barely control the ball.

Somebody like Gundogan or Verratti would be so much more useful imo.

by Jay29 Wed Nov 04, 2015 6:55 pm

Teams for Bayern/Arsenal:

Neuer; Lahm, Boateng, Martinez, Alaba; Alonso; Coman, Muller, Thiago, Costa; Lewandowski

Cech; Debuchy, Mertesacker, Gabriel, Monreal; Coquelin, Cazorla; Campbell, Ozil, Alexis; Giroud

by BAYERN_MUNICH Wed Nov 04, 2015 8:33 pm

Great first half from us but Chelsea defending good.
