I thought Ndombele was very poor today.
People wanted a strong line up in the first leg against Zagreb, now they are here and surprised we looked like lacking energy....
Thought he gave us security on the right and changed the game with a man less?Did Sissoko actually do anything when he came on?
I think he did some short passes.
Having said that, that’s probably a better output than some of our players today.
He took Bale off because he had offered nothing all game and brought Sissoko on because we kept losing the ball in our defensive third and Arsenal kept creating danger when we did. And with the fact that Sissoko can cover the right flank in defence, it allowed Mourinho to push Doherty further up that flank to try and create something.our team is better than Arsenals - no doubt.
So send them out to play football on the front foot.
Don’t put Sissoko on for an attacker.
Dont wait until we go down to let the shackles off.
Players have to take responsibility but Mourinho has sucked the belief out of them by aiming not to lose.

He just had too much time on the pitch, any more than half an hour and he's virtually guaranteed to pick up a couple of yellowsWe might have equalised with 11 men, hes a fucking idiot for getting himself sent off.
I think we have seen this far too often now from Jose to know that he'll always revert to type - he just can't stay away from it. Had we gone out there today, closed down the space better, had a better def line and actually utilised our attacking strength, then we'd had won today. We gave them the result, or should I say Jose did?“Desperately defending him!!!”
There is no desperately defending him.
It’s like this:
- Today’s performance was shit - see tactics were poor
- Tactics were poor - the crux of the matter
- Players were poor - see tactics were poor
- On balance, this shouldn’t lead to the manager being sacked - conclusion? Manager at fault. Had said Tactics been deployed before for any margin of success and watchable football? Yes - conclusion? Up to Danny boy, but I know what I'd be doing personally.
This isn’t difficult for anyone to wrap their head around, unless they actively choose not to. Which seems to be the case with you. And frankly, that’s your problem.
I can see this being like a lot of other games. We'll likely concede again and then turn up for the last 10 mins ....
Do you ever watch games with Oliver, so many of his big calls go against us, he’s as bent as they come, if he has the opportunity to screw us he does, so obvious he should be a Geico commercial

No, Bale was awful, no help to DohertyI really don't like the fact that Bale was subbed. That was Mourinho looking for a fall guy.
How weird. I said exactly the same thing to Mrs A&C when she interrupted my watching the game to ask if I wanted a cuppa, which is why i'm now typing with a black eye and sore testicles from the car parked in the drive.Fuck off Mourinho you chav slag.
