Still disappointing though, would've been good for you's to get them back to the Emirates with something to play for.

wouldve been for sure, but sometimes you just have to be realistic, the really disappointing thing is the gap in class is growing not closing

on the plus side the bookies are paying me tonight :)

Didn't look too bad after you levelled, you's had a good 10-15 minute spell that made their defence look dodgy.
 
just have so many good players, all seem to understand the structure instantly, not as if theyre missing Ribery or Mueller for example. if you get enough possession then they can be hurt but very rarely happens

THe one thing that can hurt them is pace - especially when running at the CB's neither Hummels or Martinez are the quickest. A few time Sanchez for clear and had no support - I guess that's possibly where Walcott or Welbeck could have started instead of Iwobi ( who just doesn't seem a top player )

youd have seen as much of walcott as you have of iwobi. bigger issue by far is the 2 central DMs theyve barely won a tackle between them all night and provides no platform at all for those in front of them. might be the last time we see sanchez for arsenal at this stage too which is disappointing

They have been outplayed in the middle by a 35 year old - Xabi is still an unbelievable player and provide the protection and platform for Thiago. Wouldn't want to guess how much he would cost if he was 25.

Suspect you maybe right about Sanchez - he looks dejected , constantly working his heart out and everytime he looks around for help a lot of times he looks lost on his own.

I didn't honestly think this would happen.
