23/02/16 | Arsenal 0-2 Barcelona | Champions League

[BS221B]

Welbz must start as winger this game. Alex Ferguson also used to do play him as winger in important games because he is good at closing down certain player. I reckon he can stop Neymar all game during Barca attacks if he starts winger.

This is why we need a world class striker. If we had one, we might still be able to fluke a win or two but we have a lamppost that hasn't scored in weeks.

Let me repeat myself, Giroud to score a brace and Arsenal to win 5-2

[Va-Va-Voom]

I just hope Suarez eats a big lunch today. We don't want him to be hungry when around Arsenal players

Him against us a couple of years ago... imagine that went in

Toure's miss on the rebound, though.

------------------Cech
Bellerin-Gabriel-Koscielny-Monreal
------------Coquelin Ramsey
---------------------Özil
Welbz---------Giroud--------Sanchez

Gabriel has experience of playing against Barca. He came from Spain so he knows their style. im going to be so disappointed if that German guy who's slower than a turtle starts.

[Smartly Dressed Morris]

I think the single most important thing is we DO NOT get a player sent off so we are playing with 10 men. Hopefully we have matured.

Go Gunners !

Isn't Gabriel injured?

[Fenice]

Absolutely love this Callum. Stealing it lol

[Yago]

don't feel bad about it, callum stole it as well

[KG3]

The best back 5 we ever had against Barca but up against the best attack they have had in the same breath.

This will be a long ass 90 minutes but this is what we want - a tie against Mithlyand of Denmark or the best in the world even if it is for only 180 more minutes.

Expecting a good performance from the lads; hope the Emirates is hopping tonight.

No the CL final defence is better but this is second best

--------------Lehmann------------
Eboue-Campbell-Toure-Cole

VS

----------------------------Cech-------------------------
Bellerin--Mertesacker--Koscielny--Monreal

Lehmann < Cech (Not much between them from the Cech now and Lehmann back then though)
Eboue = Bellerin ( As great as Bellerin is Eboue was amazing that season especially in the CL)
Campbell > Per (No point in even making a comparison lol)
Toure > Koscielny (Although Koscielny is not far off)
Cole > Monreal ( Dont get me wrong Monreal is quality but Cole was the best left back in the league and the top 2 in his position for most of his career)

Only Cech is a certain improvement the rest a certain no's or maybes.

[GoonerAlexandre]

We beat them with Djourou in defence tbh

[S4cePL]

Hate them with a passion but for those who actually watch their matches how would you say they will most likely line up tonight? Also, what is their weakest link and how could we possibly exploit it?
