Inter Milan 1-0 Arsenal: Fan views on Champions League game

We asked for your views on Arsenal’s Champions League defeat at Inter Milan.

Here are some of your comments:

Dean: Disappointing result for Arsenal. Showed signs of urgency but couldn’t do much with the ball in the final third to trouble a strong defence. No plan B and severely lacking a target man to get the ball to. A poor result next at Chelsea could end the title challenge. Let’s hope the return of Martin Odegaard can ignite some fire into this team.

Micky: Really disappointing as I thought we’d played a good game. One dubious penalty decision proved to be the difference. With a full strength team I’m positive Arsenal would have won.

Vee: As an Arsenal fan, we have to tell ourselves the truth. Mikel Arteta’s stubbornness sometimes affects the team. For two games in a row, Arsenal have failed to score a goal. Even in the Champions League, Arsenal have scored just three goals which shows one thing; we need a playmaker such as Ethan Nwaneri pairing with Odegaard and a striker.

John: Thought Arsenal played reasonably well and were unfortunate as it was not a penalty. We are just missing a killer instinct in the area as we are not quick enough in thought. They get the ball and think too much. Fingers crossed Odegaard will be able to instil some impetus.

David: If the football authorities deem games are won by possession and corners, we would be world beaters. As it is, without Odegaard’s guile, we look as if we could play for days and not score. Lots of disappointing performances this season: especially Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz, Thomas Partey and Gabriel Martinelli while Jurrien Timber and Mikel Merino haven’t added much. Very worried.
