BARCA HOME GAME THREAD

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I think Arsenal played Barcelona well last night. I know we gave up alot of possession but think most of it was managable possession and apart from 2 or 3 oppertunities Messi and co did not create much with the possession. What Arsenal did well was not chase after every player with the ball we marked the space and let them pass mostly sidewards and backwards.

What this did was to save our energy what I have seen of Barcelona over the past 2 years is that they blitz teams early in the 1st half play at a high tempo and make teams chase the ball which in turn knackers them out then Barcelona pick them off in the second half.

From what I watched on sky+ today I think we had more energy in the last 20 mins than them and thats why they took off Villia and brought on a DM to try and shore things up.

The danger of these tactics is that in the first half you can get over-run but it worked last night and if you take the one or two chances you get against the Barcelona defence in the first half thier tactic could work against them
