if this costs them qualifying there will be real drama



I read the first goal for the comeback was a long way offside? though loosing another 2 goals from there is no good either, but does show the effect one really poor decision can have on a game

looks like they will still qualify , just need one point from last 2 games but still not great from the position they were in

that's the problem with getting 2nd in the group , gonna get a tough team in last 16

they might struggle to keep their spot as a top seed should they qualify next year and that then means a tougher group to start with

merson has been quite critical of wenger for awhile now

with Dortmund having a terrible start to the season domestically there might be a chance klopp becomes available and he has been linked with arsenal as a successor to wenger a few times

Will Wenger ever go though?

He seems to be fireproof.

Exactly, a winning side dropped that drastically, think how far Arsenal could drop.

And finacially Arsenal are probably the safest of the big 5 teams. Hes won very little in the last 10 years, but they have such a strong base at present. Compared to United, Chealski, City and Liverpool, Arsenal probably have the safest financial set up.

I can't see say Klopp doing any worse than Wenger, tbh. Get the right man then fine, if not, then Arsenal may fall back. Trouble with Arsenal is, they haven't got as much money as some, like City, Chelsea, and they are not as big as Utd, or Liverpool.

Dortmund have been poor this season, since they lost Lewandowski.

I don't really see what wenger is doing atm that is irreplaceable

arsenal are tactically inept against the big teams , and this year have struggled even against so-called lesser teams

they got lucky away to Anderlecht, let a 3 goal lead slip last night , were hammered by Dortmund away even if the score was only 2-0

they have had fairly obvious flaws in defence and central midfield for years now that he has done little to address , a team in arsenal's position shouldn't be playing monreal in the centre of defence when they have one injury to a central defender

look at their signings this summer , sanchez looks a fantastic signing but apart from that what did they do ?

the 2 defenders they signed basically just replaced the two they lost and if anything they weakened their depth at the back by also letting jenkinson go out on loan
