We're probably going to get battered, but there's always the chance we'll have one of those nights when everything clicks for us. With the exception of Cazorla, Wenger can basically field the same side that ended Bayern's twelve-match winning-streak in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of Cazorla, Wenger can basically field the same side that ended Bayern's twelve-match winning-streak in October. You're right. Definitely a possibility that everything clicks. I think unlikely we win given how good Barca is, but it's not like we have zero chance. My expectations are just low. I do like that everyone is healthy (outside of Cazorla/Wilshere/Gabriel) so we are more or less fielding our best team/bench. Giroud starting though will limit our counter attacking ability and only put us in play for a goal on set pieces. Really wish we had a #1 mobile striker to stretch their back line like Vardy would do (and tried to do against us). 14 minutes ago, Mark Antony said: Maybe not! Y'all could get a good result at home. Hard to decide which one to watch. Front three of Barca is just so entertaining but I feel like Juve/Bayern should be a more competitive game. We're going to defend hard core and try to counter. Barca will have almost all the possession. In that way, I think it'll be similar to the Bayern/Juve game. If Barca scores though, it may open up a bit and could be fun to watch, especially since the Barca front three will have some fun with our back 4. I wish Gabriel wasn't hurt for this. His pace would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Big, big night for The Ox. Quite surprised by his selection. He looked a broken man at the weekend. COYG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, not a fan. I'm with Raja, Campbell seems like he'd be the best fit given his defensive work and chance creation ability. Chamberlain has never shown either. Hope he proves me wrong.

Spockydog Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Me and my brother agree with you both. Unlike the Ox, Campbell doesn't get fazed by the big occasion, as he showed in the WC. Will be delighted if he proves us all wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't miss chances like that against Barca. This is the type of shit from the past 5 games. You miss great chances and you end up losing.

Consigliere Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Arsenal have played well in the opening 20 odd minutes. Ox really should be doing better there. A chance like that has to be put away to have any chance against this Barca side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philokles Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Good half from Arsenal. Total domination for Bayern, minus a defensive lapse or two. Nothing to suggest it won't be one of the usual three winning the tournament again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Other than the miss, the Ox has done well. He's played a big part in keeping Barca quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
