Flamini and Wenger strike again...

WHY THE FUCK IS HE ON THE PITCH?!??!

Nah it was Mertesacker's clearance that cost Arsenal there - shocking.

Frustrating, as usual, to watch Arsenal and Barcelona.

Arsenal have no game management, the players don't take any responsibility in defence at all.

But watching Barcelona? May as well be a non contact sport when they're involved. Not to mention the histrionics from guys like Alves, Alba, Neymar, Busquets, Suarez - well, most of them in fact.

It means that Arsenal players stop tackling, stop competing because they know it'll always be a foul and some cunt will be rolling around crying.

Oh well - we can just hope they don't win it again.

The clearance was shit but he just swung his fucking foot without even checking to see who was around...he's such a careless goof.

Doesn't dismiss the fact he shouldn't have even been on the pitch to begin with...

We had every chance for a home victory, if we were more clinical in front of net we could have been one or two up. It was never gonna be easy but Arsenal can always put up a good fight imo.

Your defence is what drags you back rather than your ability to score. On a constant basis its just fairly awful decision making after another

I was really disappointed with a lot of the performances from the Arsenal players - not making excuses for Flamini.

Where was Bellerin for the first goal? Coquelin?

Monreal had to go to the ball, but you have FOUR defenders and a holding player in that team and somehow ended up 2v2 - it's pathetic from the players.

Giroud was awful, Coquelin's distribution was poor, Sanchez was trying WAY too hard as well.

And if Barça were more clinical they could be 4 goals up. Sorry but you can't beat Barça playing like Arsenal today. It's Giroud, Ozil and Alexis against Messi, Neymar and Suarez. Leftlovers from La Liga against the best attack in the world.

Until now the only PL team that was able to stop Barça was Chelsea.

Playing tactically against Bayern = Bad

Playing like its chaos, having Mandzukic look like a possessed wild man ready to chop heads over some Munich beef = Good

Wenger just cant get a break, Flamini fucks it up with a penalty right after replacing Coquelin. Even though it was moslty Mertesacker's fault is still very frustrating to see Flamini straiht up kicking Messi with less then 5min on the pitch.

Just how many more times the draw will put us against Barça?, and when its not them its Bayern, just fucking unbelievable
