Good question. Has the reality that he wont win anything of note with this lot set in? Disillusioned playing alongside a bunch of gutless wimps? Who knows? He's been shocking since he came back

Like a kickabout in the park for Barcelona. There not even in first gear and there ahead.

Ridiculous statement.

On a side note elneny and iwobi have looked very composed so far

There's nothing wrong with playing out from the back, if you just pass the ball to your teammates.

There is if the players aren't able to.

And it's not a clever ploy against Barca for any side as the smallest mistake and they will punish you.

Welbeck again crying out for a lofted ball over the top he can run onto.

Final ball is poor. There's definitely a goal or 2 for the taking here

He's one of the main reasons we won't win anything. Your big players should step up and lift the team. He must have the opposite effect on teammates when he constantly gives the ball away and turns attack into a counter attack.

I just wish he would adjust his game and play a bit safer until he regains some form.

That said, I think he's looked alright tonight.

kronsington

I'd have Iwobi above Chamberlain and Walcott any day of the week

Where we expecting anything different?

Genuinely wouldn't be surprised to see City in for him and/or Ozil.. We're due another big player leaving for a rival

Not really. My faith in this Arsenal team is all but gone.

That's a bit like saying I'd rather a punch in the face over a kick in the balls! I'd rather better options

Yes they deserve better.

but you do know there are no players available to improve our squad right?

I mean in terms of what we have already

Ulysses Gaze

Honestly, what does Wenger see in Flamini?

Thats not the line i was taking, i was more of the mind set if they wanna head off, pack their bags open the gates and let them **** off

JustTheOne

The money flamini has robbed through his arsenal career is a scandal.

Canadel

Oh f**king hell this is just insanity from Arsenal.

Players just not getting their heads up on the ball, panicking and passing it right back to Barca.

I'd miss Ozil. I think what we're seeing from Sanchez now is who he is. Sometimes it works and he looks fantastic, but the majority of the team it doesn't and he looks woeful.

His love child.

Might not have been deliberate, but a trip in the box without doubt.

At least AW is earning his 8million...

We could say that line about a huge amount of players but Flamini is a special case.

Never. There was no contact.

Two world class players. Why on earth would they want to stay. No ambition or quality at the club.

I was thinking recently about why this Arsenal team don't work as hard as they sometimes should. I wonder is it partly because a lot of them are just waiting for Ozil to do something.

Like, who cares, he'll put another one on a plate for me in a few mins?

Looks like his foot clipped Macherano's knee.

Eh? They showed the replay, you can clearly see he knocked his leg and it went across and made him trip over himself.

He's invested it well though.

FixitFelix

On a side note Pep doing well at home to juve.Still not convinced by him

Gringo180

These are there for the taking tonight. Its just a pity we havent got the quality to take our chances.

You know you're wrong when Howard Webb is agreeing with you. :pac:

This team should be built around Ozil. He has weaknesses but he's by far and away our most creative player. His passing is sublime.

Iwobi is good so far and Elneny is very tidy

WOULD YOU JUST SHOOT!!!

drives me crazy

Harry Palmr

How many touches do Arsenal players need?

FixitFelix

Hit it first time Elneny

omega man

Takes us forever to take the bloody shot

gandalf

There was contact on Iwobi and let's be honest if the situation was reversed it would have been a peno and a red card.

gandalf

Ah Sanchez!!

omega man

Bad miss Sanchez

Just takes us too many chances to score a goal.

Ozil should be playing as the Number 10.

The team needs more Iwobi's and Elneny's and less Flamini's and Monreals.

sonic85

Why won't they just shoot when they have an opportunity?! Jesus christ

Canadel

Ball being moved quicker by Arsenal.

Better play. Need a goal before ht.

Royale with Cheese

Barca look dreadful to be fair. They'll probably still win 5-0 but the space available to arsenal would worry me if I were catalan. Better teams will punish them for that.

Monreal has been one of our most consistent players of the last year

They will step it up in the 2nd half no doubt.
