Arsenal are showing no signs of improvement with yet another mundane display away from home, this time resulted in defeat.
Gunners had few injury concerns, mainly the absence of Debuchy meant that they had to play a 19 year old Bellerin as right back.
The youngster looked sharp at the beginning but was then troubled all game. Adding to that, he was assisted in defense by none other than record signing Mesut Ozil.
The Kaiser should actually be responsible for creating chances in attack but Arsene Wenger had other ideas and continues to misuse him.
Dortmund were without their captain Mats Hummels and the ever threatening playmaker Marco Reus yet they completely dominated Arsenal.
New signing Danny Welbeck had two great chances to open his account for the gunners but wasted and was anonymous mostly.
Arsenal need to bounce back immediately or else things can turn worse. Here are Arsenal player ratings against Borussia Dortmund.

We were absolutely useless. I regretted having stayed up to watch a dismal performance.We were never in the game.Our defence is pathetic.A poor Dortmund side killed us and I can just imagine what would have happened if all their players were playing. I dont know why Wenger put Ozil and Arteta on .They should sit on the bench and warm it for a while.We are not improving but rather giving less than an average performance and I fear what is going to happen to us as the days roll on and more demands are put on us with so many matches still left in the season.
Arsene has failed to address the team’s problems mainly because of his stubbornness. Arsenal will not play CL next season! Every part of the team has a problem. Arsenal need someone who can finish upfront not a Welbeck. We have an opportunity to sign Balo or Remy, both better options, but Arsene turned them down. A notable DM is needed not Arteta or any of our midfield player. We are link to Khedira and Cavalho all summer, of which either will make our midfield stronger, bt not materialised. I can tell you that our defence is weaker than last season in quality and number. A team with pace like BD will always rubbish our defence as you can see yesterday. This latest 3 yrs contract Wenger signed is an heartace for Arsenal fans worldwide.
My problem is Wenger for refusing to play Ozil in his preferred position, making the young man unfunctionable, his duty is to assist attackers with some killar passes. But Wenger kept on playing by the side which he’s not functioning. Wenger should also change his formation from 4-1-4-1, to me, 4-3-3 is the best.
Everyone but Wenger can see the players we needed
