All of those goals were counter attacking goals. This was a repeat of the drubbing at the hands of Liverpool last year. Arsene hasn't learned. He hasn't trained Per to hold position. The attack let us down, for sure, with our wings both coming too narrow and no one able to finish. But to be exposed that badly, and repeatedly on defense is inexcusable. That falls squarely on Arsene. We've been here before and his failure to change tactics, to not play a high line against speedy counter attacking sides, is so amateurish that it's sad. I believe that there are other managers out there who would get more from this team.

I get what you're saying, but I feel the games from last year (Liverpool, City, etc.) and those tactics were different.

This year, Arsene has changed his tactics in those games (see City away and Spurs away) this year. We didn't attack or hold a high line, we sat in. I don't think we needed to do that in this game.

We played horribly, undeniably, but we were extremely unlucky (or shite, depending on your perspective). Missed two easy sitters and Monaco had a long range deflected goal. Those things go our way and not Monaco's, it's our game. Sucks, and we could have played much better, but I don't think Arsene got the tactics wrong.

Just my view on it
