Problem are the prices, David Luis went for 50 milion...that is dumb.
That's because no one tries to develop young defenders.
Many say this was such a weird game and it's unbelievable how Arsenal could have lost, but not at all if you analyze it properly.

Arsenal played very well through their midfield, but defensively and attack were poor.

They controlled the game well and build their attack perfectly, but couldn't finish, poor attack. United only had a few shots on/off target yet they turned into goals, so defensively they were poor as well.

United were very poor in defensive (nothing new there) and the defensive midfield part, but clinical in attacking on the counter. They could have walked away with 3 goals.

So with United good on the attack and Arsenal poor on the defense, of course United are gonna get goals, and with United poor on the defensive and Arsenal not clinical in their attack that kinda evens out.

However Arsenal should have won that match, they were at home and they controlled the game, they were just not aggressive enough in attacking and that's why players like Aguero, Costa and last seasons Suarez score so much, they are ruthless in their attack.
Yeah we were weak on defensive part, I completely agree with it, but Arsenal were weaker than us. Things could have been different if Jack Wilshere wouldn't have gotten injured. It isn't like they don't have good attack, they do have, problem is they are lacking someone to support Sanchez, something that you expect Wellbeck to do, who failed in that match.

Nah it's cool we didn't deserve to qualify TBH, thanks though. Congrats on making it to the next round...
Well, I think you need a new Manager, Rodgers transfer policy is shit mate.
Cheers, looking forward to our next games, I'm curious how Chelsea will perform against the likes of real and bayern.

Transfer policy, exactly!! Let's buy a couple of "ones for the future" players instead of decent developed ones, and whoever turns out to be a star is sold the following season. That's why we don't win the PL...

Fabregas 27mil, Kroos 24mil, Lallana 25mil.
Benatia 20mil, Lovren 22mil.
Emre can 12mil, Fernando 10mil, Song 0mil.
Balotelli+Borini+Lambert= 40mil, Costa 32 mil.
Markovic 20mil, Lavezzi 18mil, Rakitic 14mil
Diego Lopez was available and we didn't go for him despite our GK's bad form.

Just absurd... makes my blood boil whenever I think about it.

De Gea was simply stunning today for United 8 saves many of which were superb, rarely a keeper is MOTM in which a team won 3-0.

Also Atletico Madrid has produced many brilliant premier league players Aguero, Diego Costa, Torres, De Gea, Courtois which itself is amazing.
