Kimmich. such a good player and would fit our system perfectly


WE CAN DO THIS

Agree on both counts. This is good stuff from us….and Kimmich has been a class player for years.

Good noise from the Arsenal boys….

A few of the players slow in getting back when we lose possession.

Was just about to say that. Doing us proud.

City 0 Madrid 1 half time.

We’re the better team, but they’re dangerous on the break.

Exactly the Munich tactics people were expecting.

Very much so; nearly as loud as the home lot.

So far, so good

We’re looking comfortable on the ball without trying too many risky passes, we’ve looked good when we have played one touch and quicker but it’s so much harder.
We’ve pressed well and sensibly, not pressing every time but cutting off a lot of easy passes square or in to midfield from their defence and it’s forced them to play more direct passes - on a couple of occasions down our right they have played some great one touch stuff to get in but we’ve managed it well to win possession back quickly

Key for us is getting it wide quickly, feels like Saka has the beating of his man and if Martinelli gets a bit of space and 1v1 I think he can get the better of Kimmich - but Bayern have doubled up well on him

Bloody hell. Phew.

Good refereeing, first proper professional foul, Ødegaard was away from him. Laimer pulled him back. Definite yellow

Saka needs to step up his game.

You don’t stop those

Damn it.

Bayern deserved that. We've been pallid this half.

We haven’t looked liked scoring at all all night. I think that’s all she wrote unfortunately. We just lack real cutting edge at the very highest level atm, no shame in that, we keep improving, but we need to add some top quality.

I was worried when we allowed Kimmich to advance the ball so far up. And that eventually got us.

We need to pull ourselves together sharpish or there's going to be a second.

Mid block again. Our version of being found out this season.

They have built the intensity this half.

The unwillingness to use Emile Smith Rowe and Partey is a great mystery. What is there to lose? We're completely flat in midfield and up front.

Ødegaard isn’t 100% so it is a bit odd.

I think Jesus was on there. I don’t understand how he is so bad in front of goal.

Bayern have contained us very well. We clearly need a striker because doubling up on Saka negates a huge part of our attack.

Jesus is a shadow of the player at the beginning of last season.

It's a big weakness of Arteta's.

The champions league has been a joke for how often we have a set piece and the ref immediately gives a free kick against us! Are we really to believe we’re the only team doing any fouling, usually it’s a bit of both and refs let them go. We’ve been punished so often

Yeah that’s *%^@, and then the obvious corner. That’s total *%^@.

Absolute clear corner for us not given. That one was staggering. 2 minutes left we need set pieces.

Those little decisions just kill any momentum, probably kills a couple of minutes play before we can get in a similar threatening position

54 years that I can remember of my 60 on this planet, and how many times have we had disappointments like this.

It’s the hope that kills.

Just come up short again. Ah well.

Hail Mary

Urgh, final corner everyone up and Saka doesn’t beat the first man

Not sure why Martinelli keeps getting taken off instead of Saka.

Bukayo hasn’t been on the top of his game for a few weeks now, and hasn’t got Martinelli’s pace.

Pass among the centre backs you mean? There was 30 seconds left no need to rush

Kuntz

That last corner summed it up.

At least it wasn’t the Germans on pens.
