Walter Bishop Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Barca are just incredible at winning it back. There really isn't much difference in the teams on the ball, it's all about what Barca do off it. Arsenal stand off when they lose possession. 100% bang on. (Good to have you back) When Barca attack they have options, when they have the ball they have options,when they defend there is options and when they lose the ball they have 2 or 3 trying to win it back. Stunning goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankengott Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Tremendous entertainment so far. Barcelona much better at passing and pressing, but Arsenal looking dangerous when the chance of a quick break falls to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 There are definitely spaces in the Barca defence. Arsenal need at least 3 tonight if they want to go through I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Dizzle Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Cant see where Fabregas would play in that Barca team at all, Iniesta and Xavi are a class above. Xavi is 31 now, although his game doesn't need pace there's only so many years he can keep playing. They'll want Fabregas to replace him. I don't think they can actually afford him right now, but he'll be their next big money player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Cant see where Fabregas would play in that Barca team at all, Iniesta and Xavi are a class above. They'd probably play Iniesta on the right of the attack where Pedro is, and put Fabregas in his position. Plus Xavi can't go on forever, and sure he has a tendonitis problem too which was restricting the number of games he can play in a row. Although this problem seems to have subsided since the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Can't believe I tipped Arsenal to win the first leg. Ridiculous. :vrface: Arsenal are throwing absolutely everything at this, but it's almost a non-contest - and Barca have at least another couple of gears to engage if necessary. I think Wilshere's doing great: really impressed by his display in a game of this magnitude. But will Walcott ever, ever nail his final pass? I hope the home fans stay with Arsenal: they're playing pretty well, but are being outclassed by a magnificent football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on Five Live earlier, Sid Lowe suggested Madrid's interest in Fabregas was just mischief making designed to drive his price up even higher.

Sierra Delta Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Barca are just ridiculously good. Arsenal lose the ball and they don't see it again for a good few minutes. Not over yet though, but to have any chance of progressing Arsenal really need to get a win tonight. Song needs to come off before he's sent off.

I'll happily join in the applause for Wilshere. I think he's been excellent so far, looking around seeing what's on and what's not , trying to make sure his team keep the ball, should have a great future. Don't think he can rescue the game for Arsenal, but if anyone can.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
