Can I get back the time wasted watching that dreadful dribbles from Coquelin please?

It was one of the boring game in recent times and it was pathetic... No boss in the midfield to control the game and provide through passes, instead they were just keep passing ball around.. pure lack of creativity throughout the game, maybe Wilshere could have dropped deep to dictate the game but he wish to stay in the oppenent's half, to keep his fitness and avoid any further injuries...

Key Opta stats:

  • Of the seven occasions that a team has scored 6+ goals in European competition this season (excluding qualifiers), four have been by English clubs – Liverpool (twice), Chelsea and Arsenal.
  • Arsenal have had the same tally of shots on target in their last two competitive matches (27 – 16 vs Man Utd and 11 vs BATE) as Swansea have had all season in the Premier League (27 in 15 games).
  • Mathieu Debuchy scored a competitive goal for Arsenal for the first time since December 21st 2014; 1082 days ago.
  • Arsenal ended their group stage with 13 points from six games (W4 D1 L1) – the only English team to have won more in a Europa League group stage were Tottenham (18) in 2013-14.
  • Jack Wilshere has finally ended his draught and scored his first Arsenal goal since May 2015.
  • Arsenal have scored 6+ goals in a European game within UEFA competition for only the sixth time in their history.

Finished as toppers in the group stages, as expected... Now its the time to show the real character in the knockout stages, as we would also welcome some strong opponents from CL like Atletico, Dortmund etc...

Good chance for Arsenal to break knockout hodoos at Europe....

Although this feels like a cheap way to break our European knockout losing streak. Still want to win tho
