Arsenal vs. Barcelona Tuesday 745PM

Rorz

We used up our amazing CL performance quota for the season in the home game vs Munich and away at Olympiakos. Can't see us holding out till the 75th min at the Nou Camp, nevermind scoring twice.

Thank god for Cech or this would have been really embarrassing.

Copy paste this in the next match's thread and it'll still work probably. Story of our season, from day 1.

Both goals were his fault in my opinion but you deserve this when you sub Flamini on.

Agree. What's frustrating is its decision making not his lack of speed or agility. He's supposed to be the calm one but he isn't.

Not a bad performance tonight but it's clear to see where we are lacking that extra bit of quality.

He wasnt rash on the first goal. Thats where he knows he needs to win it. Os theyre past him if he doesnt. The second is just terrible control. Neither really abything to do with calmness.

Tactics

Our fans have been brilliant

he'll have realization against the best team in the world, when we kept them quiet for 70 minutes? I doubt that.

Said it before, he doesn't even need to do on the ball drills anymore. Just some running and finishing practice.

Infuriating. Maddening even.

Spanish tossers. Nearly as cunty as aour stupid tossers are stupid.

As predicted wastefulness and imptecision cost us the game. The weak margins of your team always get exposed in games like this

Could have been a goalless draw, should have been a goalless draw.

I am not as angry as I should, but I am slightly disappointed given that we could have even came away with a win with better finishing. Let's hope the injuries to Ox and Ramsey ain't serious.

The irony is if we had this result against Bayern and Monaco we wouldn't have been out. Yet it's against Barca and in the return leg we have no chance.

There's no way he needs to commit himself and he shouldn't be in that position where he has to win it in the first place. Also he should be clearing it for the second, not doing whatever he was trying to do.

Held them out for longer than I expected but the usual result in the first leg. Absolute insult we're bringing on Flamini against Barcelona. How many years in a row of losing the home leg by 2+ goals is that now? I fear how much this has taken out of us ahead of the United game now. Would be such a Wenger thing to do to rest everyone against Hull and not win, then lose to Barcelona and United anyway.

Mirth

Don't be fooled, Barcelona barely played out of second gear.

Clrnc

By the way this moment was truly unbelievable from Giroud

dreamlord

I really don't get why we need to have Mertesacker on the half way line. Especially when you're playing against MSN.

Herbas

Meh, totally nothing out of the ordinary. Barca is just a better team.

Game went to shit once he came on. Like playing with 10 men.

Got even worse when Flamini came on. Like playing with 9.

Useless tossers.

Ramsey also faded in the second half and Alexis ran into their players the entire second half.

Hopefully the injury to Chamberlain isn't very serious, although knowing our luck he's probably out for the season.

Qwiss

Oh well. Everyone thought we'd lose and we did. We played quite well, we were against 12 men, we didn't embarrass ourselves yet the same problems with our lack of goals still haunt us.

I hope we rest a few for the second leg. Time to focus on the league.
