It's really shame Arsenal lose against Porto, Porto is not consistent in the domestic league, even though Arsenal is also inconsistent in the domestic league. But there's a big difference between Premier League and Primeira Liga, a top 10 Premier League can beat the champion in Primeira Liga.

It's not funny if Arteta sacrificing Champions League for Premier League.

This is the funniest comment I have come across concerning this match. These two leagues are incomparable actually but it doesn't matter. A team performance in the domestic league is quite different from UCL. Take a look at Madrid for example, even when they are struggling in their domestic league, they don't joke with UCL. Sincerely speaking, Arsenal played yesterday night as if they had no intention to win. I can't even say whether it is poor tactics or something else. None of them even attempt to create a chance at all. Just simple short passes with zero shot on target. Imagine taking numerous corner kicks without succeeding in even one? It was a very bad performance.

They were lucky it ended with just a 1-0 scoreline. Perhaps, things might turn around just like it happened in the group stage against Lens when they lost 2-1 in the first leg and hammered them 6-0 on the returned leg. It's time for Arterta to restrategize and work things out. I don't really understand why he decided to use 12 players for the whole of 96 minutes when he stills has players on bench. I think it makes more sense when everybody in the team is giving a deserving time in order to have the feeling of the competition.

Sacrificing UCL for EPL? Which of the EPL again? The one already lost?  Grin
