Downbeat Wenger pays Bayern tribute

Arsene Wenger has praised the ‘class’ of Bayern Munich and admits it’s almost impossible for Arsenal to progress any further in this season’s Champions League.

A 3-1 home defeat means Arsenal must score three goals without reply in the second leg, and given the German’s defensive efficiency that’s unlikely to happen.

“Let’s not hide the truth: it will be extremely difficult against a team of that quality,” he said.

“They didn’t play two finals in the last three years without that quality that we have seen tonight.

“We have to give our best there and hope that everything will go for us and hope that by the second leg we have built our confidence up a bit more to go into the game with the belief that will be needed.”

And although Arsenal went down, it wasn’t quite as tepid as it was against Blackburn last weekend.

“I think we had a good response today, the players gave absolutely everything. We played against a side who have no doubt at all.

“They have a history in the last six months where everything is positive and you could see as well that every player is confident to play with full power. That’s not completely our case at the moment. But things change sometimes quickly in three weeks, so let’s hope we can do it.

“Bayern is a quality side who can beat anybody in Europe. On top of that, we lack a bit of confidence, like at the moment. That makes them even better.”

Worth sacrificing the FA cup, Arsene?

Arsene Wenger

I look at you because you say this, I don’t look at him. Are you looking at me while I’m looking at you?

You are not looking at me! then you have one intention: to harm.

AGunner

Easily said with hindsight mate.

Chair

Is it? You thought we can get through Bayern, who not only have players far superior than ours, but are also on an amazing run?
I’ve said it the moment when we drawn them: If we don’t strengthen considerably in January, we’ll be kicked out of the competition relatively easily.
Strengthen we did not, kicked out we are.

garyfootscrayaustralia

Nice bit of Yoda phrasing at the end there, Chair.

AGunner

@chair – I thought we had a shot at getting something against Bayern as we might turn up for the big games instead of behaving like we’ve already won (Blackburn). Squad against Blackburn was decent, you can’t ask your first XI to play every game in every competition, other squad players have to step up when they get rotated in which is why I don’t think he sacrificed the FA cup, he did however prioritise the CL.

progman07

He didn’t sacrifise it, we had a team full of internationals, if the squad cannot beat Blackburn we might as well give up.

Wenger was at fault but not beause of team selection.

Bunburyist

This is exactly how I feel as well. The team that we put out against Blackburn should have been able to get the job done. Blackburn are dire, and we fielded a team mostly made up of experienced internationals.

£oyalty for $ale

Hindsight’s always 20/20…

hopelessARSE

its over bro, its fuckingover.

Jim Jimminy

Bodes well for the rest of the rest of the season.

Villa are either in big trouble or about to ease their way further out of a relegation battle.

SIR BALLS

Wenger sacrificed the Cup we could win, with the Cup that we had no chance on winning.

Bashmachkinfile

Oh come on, would you all really have been happy if he had played the first XI Saturday and a B side tonight? You’d be going on about Wenger losing the plot, his marbles, etc.

SIR BALLS

No, I believe he should have played the best players against Blackburn and Bayern.

Chair

Exactly what sir balls said. And before you say that our best players need a rest and can’t play every 3 days – that’s Arsene’s fault for not buying anyone at all to rotate them.

Sol4real

Yes I would have, for a simple fact that I know who have at least 60% chance of winning the FA and 2% of winning the champions league

The Grime Raper

He should of played his best XI for BOTH games. What’s all this fucking crap about ‘resting’ players anyway? Do you see the likes of Messi or thick necked Ronaldo ‘rested’? Ever? Wenger has no fucking idea. Never has, Never fucking will.

Insight

To be fair, the squad that played against Blackburn should have won without our three supposedly best players playing in the second half.

SIR BALLS

Wenger keeps saying we have 2 top players in each position !

Thats why I think hes lost the plot.

Eric Irish gunner

It was 0-0 when those players came on, so wenger can’t win

gooner

Enough with all this “cup we could win” last time i checked man u, man city and chelsea are all still in and we haven’t looked like beating any of them this season.

SIR BALLS

Well, had we beaten Blackburn, we would have played Milwall, meaning we were only two games away from Wembley.

gooner

That’s why they call it a draw, sir balls. It’s not like it was pre set that, milwall vs Arsenal/bb. We could have drawn united away as well

Frrred

Perhaps he thought beating bayern then getting knocked out later anyways in the quarter finals was more of a trophy than you know….the real F.A CUP TROPHY!

igor stepanovs

he picked a strong side against blackburn. they were far superior on paper and in terms of ability to their opponents. criticise him for not motivating them to do better etc in that game, but not for the selection. if he played wilshere twice in 4 days and wilshere got injured, you’d no doubt be one of the first to jump on the bandwagon demanding his head for running our starlet into the ground. criticise him where it’s due but, ffs, be proportionate…

COYG

Our problem is not only psychological it’s also tactical.

phat

also quality and chemistry too. bayern looks like a proper team. they seem to know what their teammates are going to do, on top of that they had precision.
while for us, it seems like a team just train to be fit and practise play like kids at a playground without any instructions, allowing individuals to express themselves, force to make decisions by themselves.

The Grime Raper

Fabregas confirmed in an interview that there was never any tactical studies or discussions at Arsenal. It’s also an established fact that Wenger never so much as watches his opponents. He watches a lot of videos though. Probably porn.

Frog

Our problem is we’re shit at football.

chimasacker

One tactically naive side vs one tactically disciplined side. I said it when the draws were made, that this Bayern side is more dangerous than Barca. I saw it, why did the players and managers not see the same thing? Bayern is not unbeatable but you have to concentrate for 90 minutes to beat them.

Unfortunately as early as the 8th minute we had already crumbled. Sad

Porno Gil

Very little patience or sympathy for this man just now. I used to admire him so.

Wale

Wenger earns £7 million a year…… after trophy bonuses it comes to about £7 million a year.

SIR BALLS

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

garyfootscrayaustralia

We’re assuming the fourth place trophy doesn’t carry a bonus.

nujt

There comes a time when you just have to say we were beaten fair and square by a much better team. Boys worked their arses off today. Let’s hope they continue to do that for the remainder of the season.

Fellonious

Sorry but that first goal was lazy covering by TV5, and the second was shocking defending from the corner for a free header from five yards. Those small, little things are our downfall. The ten minutes of excellence in the second half, the positive talk form the manager, the honest hardworking display the rest of the game – are not enough to make us win and win well consistently.

TeeCee

Let’s be fair here. The most shocking piece of comedy defending in the game was by Bayern for our goal.

Poldi looked utterly confused when the ball arrived with “Please put me into the open net” written on it and he realised that the entire Bayern defence was stood in a clump by the near post.
Made me laugh anyway.

pigsinspace

i’d rather be in the CL then win the FA cup every time… but wenger was stubborn and didn’t buy this January when it was obvious to everyone that we needed a striker a centre back and mostly a defensive mid… cheap cheap fucking cheap….

progman07

Short term maybe, but people forget the basic reason we are supposed to take part in the CL – to compete for it. Obviously you need to be in the CL to be able to complete, but taking part isn’t a success in itself, just like it isn’t a success being in the Premiership instead of the Championship. Especially not for a Club boasting a 60k seater stadium charging the highest prices and paying top wages to the players.

Alex Cutter

The squad should be embarrassed to be taking up a valuable CL spot.

phat

i rather we be in the cl and win the fa or carling cup to stop the long trophy draught and instill abit more belief in the team.
But if i had to choose i would choose the latter. obviously, the CL is a much more prestigious tournament, however, realistically, its 10 times harder than other tournaments and with our current squad our chances are really paper thin.

MC

Wasn’t really a case of how shit we are at the moment, but more of a highlight of how far behind the top teams we are, imo

puzzle

For me, this is the most important point that can be taken from the game. And Bayern are far better than any Premiership team, imo

Rectum Spectrrum

100% mate. With the players we have. It shows we are 3+ player’s behind a top side. Which we have been since the 2007. Although a weaker squadthan this beat barca.

Maybe you’re right. It’s worked out well for Liverpool after all.

Wenger doesn’t deserve 4th place, but unfortunately Arsenal needs the CL.

Mooro – ” Maybe you’re right. It’s worked out well for Liverpool after all.” Yes it did, actually. They WON the Champions League in 2005. From Wikipedia – ” Liverpool faced six-time European champions Milan in the final at the Atatürk Stadium in Istanbul on 25 May 2005. Trailing 3–0 at half-time, they scored three goals in a six-minute spell in the second half to level the score at 3–3. There were no goals during extra time, so the match was decided by a penalty shoot-out.

Hell I don’t believe in his tactical ability like I used to…but telling him to “Fuck Off” is hardly merited for a man who has BLED for this club and his principles.

As for the match, Arsenal played well for large stretches especially in the second half. Unfortunately it shows the truth about the squad. Even when they play at 100% we do not have the quality to compete with the elite clubs of Europe.

Cyril Washbrook

It’s pretty clear that the fans’ expectations exceed the club’s expectations. I’ve mentioned before that the club made a decision several years ago to sacrifice (or at least reduce) its ability to challenge realistically for silverware for the short to medium term, in order to secure the club’s long-term financial standing. That is why it moved to the Emirates, that is why it locked in its commercial deals for ten years, and that is why the club has been selling players so that the football business breaks even. The club has, perhaps understandably, never explained the strategy that way. Instead… Read more »

Bayern didn’t even break sweat. Tactical fucking joke. The only reason Arsenal scored is because it got so fucking easy for them they virtually fell asleep. Then they thought we need another goal, better get one – so they did.

Pathetic.

Please Wenger, from someone who respects and appreciates everything you’ve down for this club, if you truly love this club you’ll step down and take a seat on the board. Please, it’s time to realize that nothing lasts forever. If you truly love this club you will step down at the end of the season and try to help the club from a boardroom perspective.

There is no point in Wenger leaving if the board don’t change their “profit first” policy. They’ll just line up another “yes man” to take his place.

You guys do realise Bayern Munich have only conceded 7 goals this season? further more i also believe this is the first goal they have conceded this year.

Arsenal just need to build on this season with new players and if Arsene wants to build a new team he needs to realise that to accomplish this he needs short term success, like when he first came to Arsenal so Carling cup next year and FA cup cant be taken for grant or he wont have time to finish this team.

What the fuck is going on Arsene? What is it that your not telling us. Why have we resorted to playing a formation full of players with 50% of them not in their natural positions. To… Read more »

See the Bayern fans tonight? i wish arsenal fans were like that rather than,often at home, being the 12th man for the opposition if arsenal aren’t 2 up by half time. some people booed at half time!! Are they Spurs fans? Had they never heard of bayern? i know people will argue that bayern fans are used to winning hence them getting behind their team but look at stoke…morons yes but effective support.
