No. Just no. Their domestic form is the polar opposite of their CL form.

Nice to have a win and a clean sheet for a change. Glad Sanogoal finally broke his duck. We played with a hunger tonight that I haven't really seen for a long, long time. Let's hope this turns things around for us. Yes, it was an under strength Dortmund team that gave zero ****s because they'd already qualified, but it's a huge result for the team in terms of confidence (which has been extremely low for a while now).

Give your team some credit. That was Dortmund's strongest current lineup.

No Reus, no Hummels. But yeah, guess I'm just a bit flat after recent results.
actually first goal was offside...
I've given up this season completely. I almost didn't watch last night. Saw us go up a goal on my app and then decided maybe it's worth watching.

Was still the strongest team they could put out. You can only beat what's in front of you.

Who are you and how did you hack Maverick's account?
LOL.
But seriously- I think that Arsenal are being given too little credit for the win. It was a good win against a very good team, regardless of their current form or injury problems- not as if Arsenal are not going through the motions themselves.
Haha...
Nice goal by the youngster. Great ball control and back heal to setup the assist for Santi.
Gibbs is really playing well for me recently. The lad just needs to stay fit. Looks like he is ready to step up a level. He was noticebly devasted after conceded the own goal against United and it shows a lot to comeback after that and perform at the level he did against Dortmund.

we seemed to have found a bit of passing rhythm, the guys seem to be able to take it in tight spaces (pause) and move the the ball around quick enough to not get caught out.

We've had so many of those against us this season, it's a nice change for one to come our way.
But yeah, we're through. We probably won't win the group (again), so will have to face one of the big European teams (again), which in itself is a blessing, because we'll be knocked out (again). Then we can at least focus on domestic form instead.
While the CL is mostly a nice experience, I honestly have no idea what we're doing in it year in and year out. We have no intention of actually winning the competition. We're just there to make up the numbers. I reckon we should just skip it altogether.
We can do without all the additional injuries that come with all the extra games.
