Wow!!! That team is stuffed full of giants of the game. Super super quality.

I thought it would be a glorious failure tonight (1-1 or even 1-2 allowing Wenker to claim the moral high ground) but having seen that line-up it could be a cricket score if Barca are in the mood.

When looking at that team, keep in mind that we left Highbury for this.

We've got Flamini, Elneny and Iwobi, they've got Busquets, Iniesta and Messi.

That's a trifle unfair in my opinion.

Barca must be thinking "what the f..... is going on here?"

I certainly am.

Compete with Europe's elite????

We'd struggle to compete in the Championship with that team.

Apart from Campbell and Coquelin not much to improve that starter on the bench anyhow. Why is Coquelin not in any particular reason?

Just in case he scythes Neymar down in the warm-up and gets a red card before the game actually starts.

To be fair, when you look at that team you can see why he doesn't spend the money, I mean, how exactly can you improve on that?

[VoiceOfReason]

Strategic move by Wenger to convey the message that tonight doesn't really matter, that Barca are the best team in the world, that there's no point trying to compete with them, and that he can't be judged on tonight's result.

Newly-appointed club 'yes man' Ian Wright is already towing the club line on BT Sport by stating that Everton away on Saturday is our real big game of the week, and that tonight's not particularly important.

If I were Gibbs I'd feel pretty cheesed off not making the team having seen that lot out there!

Yep good line up...surprise selection of Iwobi...but given their back four, our pace and power will test them...
Don't know what people on here are crying about...it's the squad we have...a lot of criticism for bfg, giroud, Walcott and Campbell on here so he starts without them and there is still criticism...beginning to think there is more non-supporters on here than actual Gooners...BTW think our bench is quite strong compared to theirs but if you've got messi, Neymar and suarez you don't need anyone else...an early goal for us could see a proper good match...gone for Champions League experience in the midfield and Coquelin's red card at the lane has cost him a starting place tonight. Sanchez time to prove those doubters wrong...

[g60gooner]

Excuse me while I go check the odds for Barca to get double figures.

Mind you, thinking about it, I can't see the odds being that good actually.

Already took Barca with a -1 handicap at 4/6. Would be really shocked if they didn't win by two goals or more.

Holy shit, is Ian Wright actually Red Member

[VoiceOfReason]

Steve McManaman now saying on BT that we've got an eye on the Everton game too. As if that's an acceptable reason for waving the white flag and getting humiliated in front of the world.

At least we have a bit of decent support out there
