Arsenal v Barca discussion (UCL 2015-2016 Round of 16)

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.

Plan B? No. When I followed Barca in La Liga & UCL closely few years ago, not having plan B was their problem. When that Tiki Taka wasn't working, they were literally shitting their pants.

Key words: "I followed Barca... closely few years ago". A few years ago. This is an entirely new-look Barca starting from the time Suarez came back from his ban and gelled in with the team. Entirely new Barca. It's impossible to win the Champions League, much less the treble, twice in 6 years with the exact same playing style.

Yes, manager has been changed from that time, but it doesn't matter who manages Barca, it'll always be the same team with same philosophy, with same ideologies etc etc.

Once again, Barca is not the same team. The philosophy is the same, but the game-play is drastically different. You may claim you have no bias for Arsenal, but you're making assumptions on this Barcelona team that you don't even watch. Please, spare yourself the trouble and watch this team for a full month and then understand how different this team truly is from the one in 2009-13.

Correct, haven't seen them enough this season, seen just few games. I just really thought they would be exactly the same, given their history.

I'll come back if I see the difference in future :-)
