The chunk of the game will fall down on Rakitic/Ramsey and Ozil/Busquets I think

I'm fairly confident Bellerin/Nacho will do fine. Let's hope Turtlesacker and Kosc are on point

2-1 :scarf:

We will need Cech to have a stormer and them to miss chances because frankly speaking they are far better than anybody out there at the moment.

This one is a write off for me, think they'll do a number on us. 3-1 or 2-1 to them. We can cause them problems, but I just think their front 3 will be too much for us.

I think Cech will have a great game too and keep the score respectable.

Think we can nick a result but of course we'll need to ride our luck.

I'm going for 1-1.

Think Welbeck might be the best option for us as we will most likely play on the counter attack and we know he has pace to burn. Play Theo and Alexis either side.

Or considering Wenger is a big giroud fan he might play welbz wide right. We will need to keep an eye on their left back who bombs forward all game long and is such a good outlet for them when the game is tight.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is hopeful that Mesut Ozil will recover in time for Tuesday’s clash against Barcelona after missing the Gunners’ draw with Hull today through illness.

The German playmaker was a notable absence from today’s 0-0 draw with the Tigers and the Gunners will now need to overcome Steve Bruce’s side in a replay to progress to the sixth round.

Anyone else know he was ill? Fucks sake, if he hasn't recovered by tomorrow then we are fucked.

The main problem will be no outlet down the middle if they're suffocating us. Walcott, Welbeck and Alexis would be ideal for a game like this, but Wenger has regressed into complete conservatism again. Need Alexis to not be a wasteful pubber tonight.

Very good half. Solid and compact and far from the onslaught many of us feared.

Noone feared an onslaught here, many thought a lucky win was possible, the onslaught will come at the Nou Camp.

HT 0-0

Pretty poor from both sides. 3 gift chances passed up and that will cost us over the 2 legs.

If Alexis was still a Barcelona player, he would have earned 5 free-kicks so far. In fact, he could have just asked and the ref would have obliged.

But he plays for Arsenal.

i feared no such onslaught, but feared more our lack of quality in the final third and that will come back to haunt us. we have some players who are clearly not good enough at this level and zero cutting edge. had a real feeling we were going to win this, but barca are a different animal in the second half if you haven't taken advantage already. much tougher 45 minutes to come.

i would take off Ox and Bif right now for any two from Theo, Welbz and Campbell. that would put some real frighteners on them.

Power n Glory
23-02-2016, 08:37 PM
totally agree, this is where the lack of investment in quality players for key positions starts to kick us in the bollocks

True in regards to the investment issue but I wouldn't have started Ox or Giroud for this sort of game. Ox has a poor record when it comes to end product. Just look at that poor shot.

We have Welbeck, Walcott and Campbell to choose from. I knew he'd play Giroud even though I could see him having a really quiet game.

Solid performance bar the day dreaming at the end of the first half.

What I liked was that when we win the ball we always look to break with purpose

Really need to make chances count, but then arguably the same could be said for them.

Entertaining game, that first 45 minutes flew by.

Ox was mostly there to defend and track back. He's not done too bad in our half, problems start when he gets over the halfway line. Theo way too lazy to do that job and I suppose he though Welbeck wouldn't be up to it yet in terms of match fitness. That's why I'd have played Ramsey there and put Elmo in the centre. Ramsey could have done the work and been less of a fuck up in Barca's half. I mean we've played Sanogo in the CL before so what does he have against playing Elmo, or you, or me?

A very well controlled first half by us. Had there been better finishing, we'd be looking at 1-1 here.

If we can keep them off the scoreboard in the 2nd half - which is a big ask, the ref may have a bit of work to do at the Nou Camp.

Elmo just hasn't played enough to start CL. I'd have started Theo or Campbell on the wing. Sheer threat of Theo may have had them worried about leaving that side exposed. Campbell has the work rate and has a better end product than Ox.
