Balls. 2-2. Santon caught woefully out of position

Aye, and what a great little player Gouffran seems to be too. Always causes trouble when he gets the ball, and always back to help in defence.

They way he's been involved in bringing people here you'd think he is committed here for the long term. Certainly hope so anyway.

Pity about Colo too, the overhead did him.

What a cracker from Cisse, that should brng the confidence right back! Need to finish this off, seems like just the kind of game where they could nick another goal in.

I suppose the fact we are again 3 points from the drop zone and this match is against a team firmly in the fight alongside us makes this a 'massive game'. Would be disappointed with anything other than a win here but the way this season has gone I wouldnt be surprised if that didnt happen. Anyway, provided we keep up the form it should be a relatively comfortable win. Hope Elliot can step up to the plate. Dont think we are going to say Ben Arfa today. Chance to go above the mackems and potentially into 13th above West Ham come the end of the gameweek

Fair enough

Remember that rocket of a goal at Spurs. Cant remember why he didnt make it here in the end, probably had something to do with relegation

Those transfer fees for Gervinho and Mertesacker

Bugger. Right after a fantastic performance. Seems Elliot is a good shot stopper but what I like about Krul is he's willingness to come out and dominate the box by grabbing or punching out at 50 50 balls. Given was an incredible shot stopper but he lacked that.

Yeah he's still got loads to learn and doing it when you've got Williamson and Perch as your CBs is probably not the best way to go about it. I think with time he can become a very decent defender. Not sure if we've decided LB is his best position though.

I thought Anita was progressing quite well, after a hard baptism to the English game, before the new guys arrived. Its good to see he is continuing to improve.

Bit harsh that me thinks, been one of our better players this season even though its not saying much.

Excellent. Bring on the next round!

Yup, they had more variety up there when they had Etoo or Ibrahimovich up top but at the moment there really is noone they can cross to in the air.

Hope we put out a strong team then. The manager and the captain have been making noises about winning the thing after all.

And here I thought the French and English dont get along very well!

No surprises really, dont know why the Arsenal fans were getting so worked up. If it was Malaga or Porto I'd understand, thats their level now. Bayern are a very very good team and Arsenal were always going to have to play out of their skins to get anything from the game.

Picking out a pass or decision making in football has got more to do with instinct than intelligence to be honest. All about awareness and vision.

Feel sorry for the man, deserves respect from the Arsenal fans at least but they have been on a downward slide for a while now and I cant really see them challenging for the title anytime soonn. Baffles me that they've lacked a proper leader since Viera left and Wenger still hasnt managed to find one.

Yup, although he doesnt come across someone with a lot of ambition either so he'll probably stay despite not having a chance at the first team. Use him as a squad player perhaps.

Could well be our starting two come August anyway. Notwithstanding fitness issues I think Taylor has been quite decent for us over the last two years. Matter of time before he's back in the physio room however.

Thats true enough but you cant jump to that conclusion just yet either. At the very least he deserves the benefit of the doubt about his form considering the circumstances. He's got some brushing up to do alright but we shouldnt be calling for his head as some people have been doing.
