We set ourselves with a system that was way too narrow and completely lacked runners over the top. To compensate, the central midfielders tried to push forward, which left giant gaps all through out midfield through which they could counter us.
I still cannot understand how Wenger can't see that having all of our attacking players converging in the same area doesn't work.
What do you mean, what happened to our beloved Arsenal?!
This IS our beloved Arsenal.
It's EXACTLY our beloved Arsenal!!!
If ever there was a team capable of imploding at any point, against any team, in any competition, it's Arsenal FC.
What happened, indeed...
Nothing was coming off for us, Giroud missed plenty of pi$$ easy chances, Sanchez kept running into a Monaco wall, Ozil didn't create much nor Cazorla.
I can't see us scoring 1 let alone 3 at Monaco
If it's any consolation, the invincibles program follows the footy coverage, try to remember the glory days!
We constantly kid ourselves into believing that people like Coquelin are world class, that Welbeck can be turned into Henry, that Ozil gives a shít and that Wenger is still the man of vigor, ideas and modern thinking when the reality is, none of it's true and we are what we are and what we constantly show we are. I couldn;t help but chuckle reading all the pre-match hilarity surroudning 1) our expected walkover in this tie and 2) our places as CL dark horses. Both thoughts as ridiculous as the other.
You guys have an awkward on here. Retain the comfort of getting in the CL each year and winning very little or tearing the heart out of the club and starting again.
I doubt Wenger would leave much of a legacy, very few young players coming through and a lack of winning mentality means your team needs a drastic overhaul.

I can appreciate what you're saying, but I don't a new manager would require a drastic overhaul of the squad.
The Man City game shows what we are capable of when we play a system where we don't bomb our entire midfield forward and when we play with a reasonable balance of pace, movement, width, and directness - a system with balance, that is.
We have some exceptionally talented players (Sanchez, Ozil, and Cazorla to name a few) who are being woefully mismanaged.
I'm not saying there aren't areas we can improve, but ultimately, I would say we have a team with far, far more potential than current management is allowing it to show.

Probably lacking some leadership at the moment. The Viera or Adams type would be what's needed.
