Arsenal players are starting to feel the fatigue. Expect a Barça monologue during the last 20 minutes.

Bye bye Arsenal. You never stood a chance...
Nah it was Mertesacker's clearance that cost Arsenal there - shocking.
Frustrating, as usual, to watch Arsenal and Barcelona.
Arsenal have no game management, the players don't take any responsibility in defence at all.
But watching Barcelona? May as well be a non contact sport when they're involved. Not to mention the histrionics from guys like Alves, Alba, Neymar, Busquets, Suarez - well, most of them in fact.
It means that Arsenal players stop tackling, stop competing because they know it'll always be a foul and some cunt will be rolling around crying.
Oh well - we can just hope they don't win it again.
We will be hearing that debate until they are both gone and well after that even.

Wenger's secret plan to stop Barcelona was so secret he forgot to tell his own players

We had every chance for a home victory, if we were more clinical in front of net we could have been one or two up. It was never gonna be easy but Arsenal can always put up a good fight imo.

The clearance was shit but he just swung his fucking foot without even checking to see who was around...he's such a careless goof.
Doesn't dismiss the fact he shouldn't have even been on the pitch to begin with...

Your defence is what drags you back rather than your ability to score. On a constant basis its just fairly awful decision making after another
A pep trademark
I was really disappointed with a lot of the performances from the Arsenal players - not making excuses for Flamini.
Where was Bellerin for the first goal? Coquelin?
Monreal had to go to the ball, but you have FOUR defenders and a holding player in that team and somehow ended up 2v2 - it's pathetic from the players.
Giroud was awful, Coquelin's distribution was poor, Sanchez was trying WAY too hard as well.

And if Barça were more clinical they could be 4 goals up. Sorry but you can't beat Barça playing like Arsenal today. It's Giroud, Ozil and Alexis against Messi, Neymar and Suarez. Leftlovers from La Liga against the best attack in the world.
Until now the only PL team that was able to stop Barça was Chelsea.

I say we play the kids in the 2nd leg...save up for the PL. That's the one I want...

With the way the league is right now they may well end up still stumbling over the line there if no-one else steps up
Wenger just cant get a break, Flamini fucks it up with a penalty right after replacing Coquelin. Even though it was moslty Mertesacker's fault is still very frustrating to see Flamini straiht up kicking Messi with less then 5min on the pitch.
Just how many more times the draw will put us against Barça?, and when its not them its Bayern, just fucking unbelievable
