Dortmund Home Game

[Brady's left peg]

Giroud is quality, end of

Unrecognisable from the player we saw last season. Kudos to the fella

Gotta agree... and I was a big critic of his play last season.

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

Anyone who thinks we can win the PL/CL would do well to watch that 1st half. We were completely outplayed by a very good side and are lucky to be level.

We need a dramatic improvement in the 2nd.

I agree we were outplayed but they didn't create a lot and we had some good chances and one cleared off the line in the last 10 or so minutes imo.

I love that gorgeous Frenchman

He s like a new signing really,
Such an improvement from last season

[wibble]

Giroud our best player that half. Shown great strength on several occasions and causing their defence some problems.

Arteta has been good so far as well. Shame the rest can't be said about the rest of our midfield.

Hopefully see some improvement in 2nd half, although Dortmund obviously a good side and have been closing us down as well-will need to make more of good positions out wide as several shocking attempts at crosses so far

We came back into it in final 15 when we started to go a bit more direct and got the ball out wide more often.

Ramsey's main weakness is his dwelling on the ball in dangerous areas of the pitch. He did that at Marseille too and cost us a goal.

[Sam59]

Rosicky's doing well too as well as Giroud. Ramsey will hopefully bounce back from his mistake.
Too many nerves in the first half, so hopefully we'll settle and move the ball a bit quicker.

OUTPLAYED?

Have Dortmund even made Chesney make a save? - both sides have created little. When you say "outplayed" I'd expect a little more from a side than what Dortmund have achieved.

That said, Dortmund have been composed and professional, and definitely the better side. That's it though, in my opinion. Hardly Bayern at the Grove from last season... now THAT was outplayed!

[Red Gunner]

We need Theo in this type of a game. Right now there's no width (except from full-backs), there's no one who's going to try to get in behind the defence and stretch the play.

[markyp]

weve looked slow and clueless in large parts,gibbs and sagna have illustrated just how shit they cross the ball but we are still in it,we need a second half show.on the plus side BD have created very little.C'MON YOU GUNNERS!!

not to those of us who recognised it last year - including his goals for France, when you lot were calling him "le Chapman" etc....

Ja, mein Herr

OK - most of their efforts were long range hopeful hits but we never got started and hardly had any of the ball.

Excuse the hyperbole, I just thought we were total rubbish.

[1989]

Arteta has been very poor, very very poor.

ozil has been a total passenger thus far

Bar the free kick he took in the 1st half I've not noticed him at all.
