Arsenal 3 1 Bayern Munich UCL post match chat

The hate watch angle from the Liverpool fan was funny, crying about Arsenal being this good after expecting them to bottle, but still respecting the performance.
 
Even Liverpool fans in there admitted Arsenal are too solid both in attack and defence right now, some said it might be both UCL and league for them.
 
Spurs fans were suffering hard in the comments, you had that one just writing one angry swear under a Tottenham flair, felt very real.
 
I liked the guy listing the big results, Real Madrid 5 1 aggregate, Atletico 4 0, now Bayern 3 1, you read that and you get why people say team to beat.
 
Bayern supporters were split, some calling it the worst half in the Kompany era, others saying it is just the two best teams and a loss in league phase is not fatal.
 
There was a strong theme that missing Davies, Diaz and Musiala made a big difference, but even then they mostly admitted Arsenal were better on the night.
 
For defensive metrics that thread is crazy, people reminding each other that this was the first goal Arsenal conceded in five Champions League games.
 
You can see how dominant they are when users point out that the three recent goals conceded add up to less than one xG, all bangers basically.
 
Lot of comments repeating that Arsenal are not only set piece merchants, tonight they scored from open play and still made every corner look like a penalty.
 
Somebody literally called them Set Piece FC with pride, others said the coach deserves a statue because every dead ball feels like a cheat code.
 
I liked the bit where a user said teams just panic on Arsenal corners, mentioned Neuer losing his head on almost every one, that matches the eye test.
 
Pressing comments were on point too, that BrownEyesWhiteScarf explanation about selective pressing and baiting passes into traps was class.
 
People really hammered the idea that Arsenal can choke the life out of top attacks, they said they totally suffocated Bayern in that second half.
 
As a numbers guy I notice how many different users independently said they never felt Arsenal were in danger of losing once the second half started.
 
The nostalgia parts were nice, older fans comparing this side to the Mustafi era and the days of Almunia, proper contrast, now they feel like favourites every match.
 
Some of the banter was brutal, like the posts roasting German stereotypes and then someone pulling it back by saying at least the beer can stay.
 
I loved all the Rice agenda, people joking about sending West Ham another hundred million and calling him a one man machine, pure fan energy.
 
From a specials point of view that thread screams Rice tackles plus shots lines getting bumped, every second comment talked about his stamina and work rate.
 
Some of the takes on Kane were harsh but fair, constant theme that he disappears at the Emirates without a penalty and that this game proved it again.
 
One Arsenal fan said as long as Rice stays fit they probably win the league, that kind of dependency is worth tracking if he ever gets injured.
