CL: Borusia Dortmund Match Thread

Thought we were resilient tonight and would much rather see us grind results out then be entertaining and lose.

Tough place to go, new players, thought we battled well and looked more a team then before, would happily sacrifice some flair to see more character.

Would have taken that before kick off but gutted we didn't hold on as it would have been a massive boost.

New signings are fitting in and look commited, not disappointed with them at all.

Song did his job for once and was immense, we missed that last season.

Walcott was gash, can't stomach the fact that he's seen as a key player.

Koscienly did well but still made me nervous with his impulsiveness.

Decent point in the end, should have been 3, will keep Wenger on his toes unlike last year so maybe its not such a bad result.

A draw away in Dortmund, the hardest game of the group, against the German champions, is a good result. We were sloppy in the first half, butwe tightened it up much better in the second, Song was superb in the second to make up for his average performance in the first half, and our players really put in a good shift. Shame we didn't win, that was a wonder strike though, roll on Saturday!

Learned from his mistakes first half it is Kos and Per 2nd game only needs a few games to gel but can see it working

as i said Koscienly got better in the second half, but could of cost us 2 goals - he and mertersacker better start learning quick

either bother step up or not, because mertesacker is not catching anyone,

Not too disappointed with the draw - hand on heart it was about all we deserved as were def hanging on at times.

Kos and arteta were our best players for me although song def did improve in 2nd half. Sagna did ok and he was hung out to dry by his team-mates for that booking as none of them looked for the throw

The negatives were all too obvious for me - we now have two brainless gormless fools on our wings

Neither of the *word censored* are interested in tracking back and are heads down merchants without a doubt

Tbh I was screaming at the tv to get benny subbed but he tracked back well when on the wing and gave gibbs more help than either of the other two donkeys

Btw anybody see pato's goal for milan ? Fcuking class player

A draw was a fair result.But we werent unlucky.They made better subs than we did .He brought Chamakh on with 6 mins + injury time to go yet he didnt touch the ball.There sub hit a beauty

Walcott does my head it.He is a no trick pony.

Someone needs to teach Gervinho to fucking look up

For what it's worth, I thought Yossi was outstanding tonight... will be one of the quietest most successful, and pretty surprising bits of business we've done in ages...

On a different point, our players seem to be slipping over more and more often... have we stopped wearing studs, or are some of the slips the cowards way out of taking responsibility?
