Bad penalty. Neuer definitely the best in the business.
UCL Round of 16 - First Legs - Feb 18 - 26

What a game!
They save their best for knocking out England.
Same(ish). I groaned when he stepped up. I think its just the inevitability of it all, you just knew he'd miss.
spaceshot.
feck off Wilshere
I think that's most of us tbf. Could be one of many reasons. Supporting an English non-rival team? Better chance of winning the CL with Bayern out?
Because he's too lazy to smash it. Neuer just knew what he'd do. As did everyone in the stadium, no power behind it at all.
Two fantastic saves from Neuer already, really is the best keeper around at the moment. Poor penalty but in the first 10 minutes Arsenal have shown this won't be as one sided as some had feared. Well, providing they keep this level of performance up which is a big ask. I too seem to want Arsenal to win - no idea why, that's one of the many beautiful things about football though. You sit down wanting to enjoy a match as a neutral and find yourself supporting a team you never thought you would. I guess it's more to do with supporting the underdog than wanting Bayern eliminated for United purposes (we aren't going to win it... are we...)
That's the problem with modern club football. You can get a German to take a kick, but then he faces another German in goal.
i knew Ozil would miss that penalty
I'm enjoying 'neutral' football a lot more this season. Maybe because I'm not getting my usual football fix from United...
I just had to do a 3 minute very-quickly-explain to the girlfriend as to why I am supporting Arsenal tonight,.
This reminds me of our games vs Barca. We started strong and then got dominated.
What the hell Ozil? That was for you
Ozil is an absolute charlatan. Who'd have thought it?
You can see the massive differences in our play, where Carrick gives it and stays, Kroos/Martinez give it and go.
Eto'o scored with Barca's first shot didn't they? Was a dark day that one.
Ugh. Why do modern players refuse to just put their foot through penalties?
Yup. Glad somebody else noticed that. Martinez' run opened us so much space of Thiago to drive forward.
The nice thing is you can get caught up in it and enjoy watching it, without the hassle of caring what happens.
Mind you, I spent an hour watching the GB curling team this afternoon
Just feels like this tie is already over somehow after that pen miss. We are all hanging around waiting for Bayern to score.
Ozil was offside in the buildup I thought.
Özil is so shit atm. Unfortunately that won't stop Löw from starting him in ever game in Brazil. Hope he recovers some form until then or this might be a short WC for us.
It's a travesty. As a professional player you should be able to choose a corner and 9 times out of 10 place the ball into the corner cleanly. I'd dock wages for shit penalties.
Imagine Lewandowski in this team.
He scores the penalty and he'd be back to being one of the best players in the world ( in the media anyway).
Football.
bayern keep trying to attack from the right wing. Is this what Moyes is trying to replicate
I'd make the person who missed the penalty stand in goal in training while the rest of the squad battered shots at him for an hour.
I wouldn't last long in football management.
What the bugger's wrong with these professional players? I never reached pro level but still never missed a penalty. Granted I was only playing for Burton Biscuits United versus AFC Plumbing Solutions but that's not the point.
Yeah just about it seemed to me. But I like the idea of giving advantage to the attacker if you're not 100% certain, so no big deal. He's about the last player on that Arsenal team I'd have let take the penalty, I think everyone knew he would bottle it.
Why does Boateng play as the right sided CB? Him and Dante are the definite dodgy links.
Wish they had Ribery playing, would be better to watch
Boateng is brilliant. Not a weak link at all.
Sell them Valencia...
Amazing save by Courtois.
Well he did just give a silly penalty away....
Sanogo is so shite. That was poor from whoever made the shot.
Alaba would fit here
Thiago looks immense. Would have been quite a coup for us to get him and Barca would regret letting him go some day
