Walcott and Eboue have to start the 2nd leg. Barca were all over us when we tried to pass it around the midfield and cut them apart, but when we had these 2 on they couldnt cope, probably due to the fact they are aclimatised to the slower paced La Liga.

Keep the Faith!

Come on you Gooners!!!!

Eboue maybe but Theo is much better coming off the bench...

Theo starts, the reason being to push barcas backline back. Anyone at the game today saw Barcas back 4 were very happy keeping us boxed in as bendtner is not going to beat them for pace, as soon as theo came on they had to push back or fear getting caught over the top!

eboue defo has to start, and i would play him at rb, we need to go there and score, sagna cant cross for shit, and manu is much more effective going forward

Disagree about Theo, need experience so Rosicky gets the nod ahead of him. Looks like Eboue will have to start, no other midfielders will be available, although Barca's style of play may suit Denilson for us.. I thought he came on to good affect, no one in their midfield will bully him, it's not their style.

I'm hoping we'll be able to pull off another night like the one we had at in Milan winning 2-0 at the San Siro!!

1. Back then Milan held us to a draw at home.
Difference is, they didn't outplay us for large periods like barca.. =c )
2. Milan were also defending current champions just like Barca!!
3. I'm dreaming of Theo doing another mad sprint and mazy run down the right wing to cross it in for bendtner/or anyone else to score!!

Fingers crossed we can do it next week, but 'IF' we do, it'll be an even bigger night and memorable result that outdoes Milan, Juventus, Madrid etc..

I would start Rosicky ahead of Walcott and throw our speed merchant on with 30/20 minutes left against the tiring leftback. Not sure he will be so effective if he starts

I go for Walcott playing say the last 30 mins or so. I would even go for throwing him on at half time if we were needing two goals.

Barca are great but there defence is the one area where there might be some space. There midfield/fwd line certainly showed us how to press as a team last night.

That is probaly the best 30 mins I have seen from a team at Arsenal for a long time.

Keep the faith.

Looking at the game last night I think we need to go to Spain with a more defencive set up for the first 50/60 mins.

Almunia, Song, Clichy, Vermalen, Sol, Denilson, Song, Eboue, Nasri, Rosicky, Bendtner.

Tell Denilson, Rosicky and Sanga to run their sock off, close everything down and stop Barca's passing

Then change it with 30 mins to go bring on Walcott(sanga), Arshaven(Rosicky) and Diaby(Denilson).

I hope we can hold on untill the subs are needed then we can use our pace against them in the last half of the game

Correct Radford. Walcott is not the answer

Theo made an impact last night. I was a bit concerned with his sky interview though, when he came out with "its not all about me, the team..."

Too right its not about you, you are paid to do that consistently, not once a season for twenty minutes. No one is under the impression its about you.

If Cesc made these comments after putting in some great shifts this season fair enough. Theo has made little or no contribution this campaign and the first shift he puts in he thinks people will be get the impression its all about him?

I might have got his manner wrong but it is grating if he thinks he has arrived. He needs to start to justify the faith (and the salary). I believe in his potential and think he will come good, but not if he thinks he already has.

I think he said it becuase he scored the goal and it revived the team
