I would think that a Zagreb win last night would have been better for us given that we have already played them away so they would have to come to the grove and get at least a draw.It was a bit embarrassing that the Germans protested about the ticket prices when this is something that Asenal supporter groups should have done long ago. What was more embarrassing was that we didnt take this opportunity to also protest with them.Theoperator wrote:

Probably the worst of the three results. What we didn't want was either of them taking 6 points in the two matches and particularly with Olympiakos having won at ours. If we lose in Germany and they win at home. Then assuming we beat Zagreb at home they must lose to Bayern and then we have to win by two clear goals in Greece (or 4-3/5-4 would do it).augie wrote:Can I ask again if ye lads think that the other result in the group last night, will suit or not suit us ? I have seen the table but cant figure out if a draw in the other game would have worked better for us or not
As I have said on numerous occasions, I'm not really bothered about this competition but because we are in it I will watch it, and the fact that the outcome of the group will probably go to the last game will make it somewhat exciting I guess. I have continually said that we will qualify and I still 100% believe that even if we lose in munich we will still go through after a 2-0 win in Greece in matchday 6
Alexis miss? I had a few beers last night but I think I managed to pick up it was the ox that missed the sitter!Theoperator wrote:Several thoughts
I like the impact sub that Giroud seems to be played as- Basically Wally runs the defenders batteries down with his runs. His header last night showed again he isnt there and I doubt he ever will be a CF of any huge success in terms of his goals. Neurer was made to look good when he just was patting a ball away hit towards him. The one thing though is at least Wally does shoot, and at times the ball is patted back to oncoming midfielders to knock it in.
BUT having tired the defenders out on comes Giroud whos physical strength is much underrated (Though his stamina is well reported
Would Wally have gambled and put his head where Girouds was- no. Would non tired defenders have let Giroud get where he did- possibly not.
Its an interesting tactic, quite the opposite of the traditional tire them out and stick a sprinter on. I like it.
Secondly Ox- we all love his driving play but his positioning and awareness of what to do is really worrying. looks like he will have a run in the side now which we are all pleased about but with that he must devellop his teamwork and awareness.
Re Alexis- his miss if Ozils goal had been judged not to be by the man in yellow who are a real embarrasment TBH then Alexis shot over would have been up there for miss of the decade.
Lastly- anyone of an AKB nature reading this thread will see credit handed out all over the place when a manager handles the game well- never let that be forgotten
Quite right mate- Its his hairstyle that foxes me, used to be easy- bald- Gibbs or Ox, (Even refs couldnt work them out 
) not bald- the rest bald and beard wally, airdryed- Giroud, possibly Rambo that was an outstanding miss and he meant it- face on ground with embarrassment after
Yeah a draw would have been the best result last night and then for them to draw again in Greece. I reckon that late Olympiakos goal last night could well condemn us to SpursDay night football in the new year. Bayern's home form is unreal and I can't see anything other than defeat for us in Munich in 2 weeks time and Olympiakos should stroll to victory at home to Zagreb the same night. We then beat Zagreb at home, Olympiakos lose in Germany and we're left needing to win by 2 clear goals a la Anfield '89 in Greece on match day 6. Think we'll come a cropper there and the mother of all spunk fests will sadly be shelved until the lap of appreciation in May.augie wrote:Can I ask again if ye lads think that the other result in the group last night, will suit or not suit us ?

I agree on the Walcott situation, and I think some Mis-guided people will have it in their heads that because Giroud has scored the last two games then that means he deserves to start. Walcottt's pace is frightening and it changes the game plan of every team we come up against. Walcott is never going to be a prolific striker, but his runs seem to open things up for the likes of Sanchez, Ozil etc.Theoperator wrote:Several thoughts

Giroud is the better finisher no doubt, Walcott has the pace...BFG4 wrote:I agree on the Walcott situation, and I think some Mis-guided people will have it in their heads that because Giroud has scored the last two games then that means he deserves to start.
