I just really want to know what are the "breaking points" of Barca. Where should Arsenal hit in order to win the game(s). We all can simply say "haha what are u talking about, Arsenal should just give up already". No, leave this thread then.

Barca are obviously 90/10 to go through, but as I said what are the keys to beat Barca? Which players should definitely start from Arsenal?

I just think (kinda obvious) that our finishing must be more than on point. Unfortunately we don't have any guys who can bag consistently goals at the moment. I do not rate Barca's defense AT ALL.

Sorry to keep it "from Arsenal's perspective", because there's not too much to speculate from Barca's perspective. They know what to do & have kept doing it the whole season.

Hey here is something to cheer on . Messi won't score tonight or ever again until Cech leaves. However, Suarez and Neymar is another matter .

Now only if Wenger read all these ..

@Marcus2011 I saw the comments on Messi having never scored on Cech. That is not a bear that I would poke if I was going against Messi.

"Best to not mettle in the affairs of dragons, for thou are crunchy and go well with ketchup!"

It is fine . He was extra motivated against Chelsea , but still went goalless . Cech was just pulling them out .

Games like this are why Arsenal always fail. Create a bunch of GOLDEN chances (they had more real chances in this game than Barca did) and just not convert on ANY OF THEM.

Unbelievable.

@Sunflash Have to agree with you, you can't help but feel this is the true problem with arsenal right now, they can't seem to finish anything... :(

+1

agree with above . Unbelievable so many chances wasted by Arsenal ...

Other teams should take notes because Barcelona has weak points and they can be explored .

Against all the odds, Arsenal played much better than I was expecting.
What was Ox thinking about when he shot the ball from 5 meters it into lying Ter Stegen?
That should have been the turning point, but we failed, again.
So many chances, which I don't even expected against side like Barcelona, and we wasted them all, again.
Giroud is not a top striker, again.

Things Wenger still forgets to learn

1. Ramsey is awful
2. Giroud is not the striker Arsenal needs
3. Bringing Flamini when we need a goal against Barcelona

And for the last: we lost yeah, this is not any excuse but, the referee was fu***ng awful, every dive from Alves was blown as a foul. This is annoying from Barcelona as hell...

Arsenal don't have the brand of players to beat Barcelona. You need fast and physically imposing players mixed with physical wingers who can give Alves and Alba a really rough time. Arsenal's team is built more for finesse. They just frankly don't have the right mixture of talents to beat Barcelona in the manner that Bilbao or Celta did.

good point qukzyy.

Arsenal was solid, good tactic. But against Barca a few moment of loosing concentration cost you the game, then the subtitution was AWFUL. And there was Messi.

Jordi Alba's fake injury after Giroud touched his chest was disgusting too.

@quikzy hit the right points

and Yep , Referring was shambles ..

For me diving and faking is one of the most disgusting things . I thought FIFA and UEFA stands for fair play . This is not fair play . That is cheating . Cheating that affects the game flow thus the game outcome . I condone it everywhere and I hate it when Chelsea player happened to cheating like this . It is irritating that they often go unpunished .

Winning at camp nou with a margin of 2 goals... sigh.. dont think we cant.. how i miss cazorla.. paired up with coq.. Ramsey.. cant describe how awful he is today.. very sloppy passes, lost the ball so many times, waste chances that he have to score.. We fought hard but Barca is on Legendary level like in FIFA games..

Create a bunch of GOLDEN chances (they had more real chances in this game than Barca did) and just not convert on ANY OF THEM.

I don't even know if I wrote this before but I just knew this would happen, I just f*cking knew.

I am so frustrated because this is another reality check to see that we as Arsenal FC are not where we should be, simple as that.

If I may scream little bit

WE HAD MORE THAN F*CKING ENOUGH CHANCES TO SCORE

We had more than enough chances to finish the game before Barcelona even got any chance..

Both teams had tons of chances and both missed a lot but what seemed to matter in the end was who stayed focused for the full 90 mins. Barca did this and were rewarded with the victory.

Cashed in, chances or not it was written that Arsenal would waste their chances, BUT they played better than expected.

Ox is such a disappointment. He has not progressed at all. All flash and no end product. Nice to see Messi Cech that off his list.;)

Hey if Giroud was any descent he would have scored at least one .. average striker . I am still puzled why bring Flamini ! Like WHY MAN ? Why is he even in the team ... it is like Flamini is Arsenal version of Obi Mikel .. but at least Mikel can park the buss when needed .
