After the shocking defeat to Spurs, Arsenal was gunned down again, this time by Portuguese side, Braga. They will stunned by two brilliant goals from Matheus. With this defeat, their qualification will goes to the wire. This scenario looks unlikely after they start the campaign with three straight wins. Even if they qualify, there is a high chance that go through as second best team and this will means they will face other group winners, the likes of Real Madrid.
Do you think Arsenal will be out after the group stage?

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them loosing to Braga. I am not an Arsenal fan at all, but I thought they will win. Especially when I know that they had to get at least 1 point. As for being knocked out after the group stages, I don't know, because it depends on which team they will face and how the transfers from winter will change teams.

I know it won't be easy for them but I never expect them to lose, not with almost 65% of the possession. I like to add that Eboube unfortunate injury indirectly lead to the goals. As for the January transfer, it is unlikely that Wenger will splash his money to buy any player. But I hope to be proven wrong.

Arsenal is different now. Not strong enough to compete in the CL. If they had to face Madrid, they would be defeated home and away. They need someone like Thiery Henry. Are they too young to handle all the pressures?

Indeed they need someone who is capable of leading and create/score goals out of the blue. Too bad there isn't any in the team. To be honest, Fabregas in my opinion is not a true leader. Yes, he is a great player who is capable of something special but a true leader is someone who can lead and motivate the players when things are not going their well. They have it in Campbell last season but he could'nt play every game.
