thats why we need Walcott

Disappointing to lose a game we didn't deserve to lose, but unfortunately tactical naievty strikes again commiting too many people forward in a game at that point would of been a good draw, fair enough if it was the 20 minute but in a group that's gonna be tight that could make the diffference. You could see especially in the first half they were able to play a high line and press us high up the pitch because there was no threat in behind. Walcott provides that threat and is needed especially in these tough games coming up.

There are still muppets on the board who think he doesn't get into our team

I agree. Walcott would have given us a whole new outlet . Ozil and cazorla could have threaded balls through to him to run on to.

Its just mainly that tool Garwood that can't seem to see his threat.

It's more than just garwood

Agreed. The only player with genuine pace and thrust and the threat required to limit the opponents chances of squeezing play and defending high. Opens up the field immeasurably having he as an outlet.

Without him, against sides as good as Dortmund, we find it really difficult creating clear chances. Don't think we deserved to lose today, but how many saves did we force a pretty dodgy keeper into today? A game that was at home? Even the goal came from a Dortmund error of judgement. Tells its own story.

We'll be a lot more varied and threatening when Walcott returns.

Walcott will hopefully be back for return leg, we need to accept the German teams are technically above English teams even Arsenal, Klopp must replace Wenger in future, he is what we need moving forward.

Don't think they are technically better they pressed a lot more which is why you could see that they sat deeper in the second half cos they were tired. Reus was pretty ordinary so was Lewandowski until he scored but he shouldn't of been on the pitch by then.

Walcott or the OX would have been a good option, but the real miss was Flamini.
