Defence is their weakness, midfield and attack they have the best players in the world. I think we are more organised these days to give them a game. Hopefully Coquelin will be back by then.
I'm really not sure it is as they dont concede that many goals. |

Their world class possession keeping ability and pressing is what stops them from conceding so few goals, not their defence in general.

I hope for your sake Suárez gets hungry in one of the matches leading up to the two fixtures.

again. Barca or Bayern every time. I'm sure we can get a goal or 2 but their front 3 will be far too good.

Barca again? Bloody hell. Well, if you want to win the competition you need to beat the best...
They are 'culpable' at set pieces, but their front three is too strong. I expect a crushing defeat in either leg: if Arsenal win the first, they'll lose in the second, or if they lose the first they'll put on a valiant show in the second. |

At last if you lose, you don't get to go in that awful Europa League, you can concentrate on the title race.

Barca will obviously be very difficult. But it would be difficult for just about anyone. They are probably the best club team in world football at the moment.
But they do have their flaws, an I'm confident that if everyone plays to their best, we have a chance against anyone. |

Barca will be difficult, but with Cech in goal we seem a lot more solid at the back, would like to see Gabriel in over Per as he is a lot more mobile.

Maybe it's good that it's a team like Barca to avoid the complacency that was there when we had an relatively easy draw at this stage last year.
Barca seem over confident to me. they are saying its the tie they wanted. |

It would be perfect timing for Wenger to retire at the end of the seaon and for Guardiola to take his place. Even better if he does it after winning the league, like Fergie did in his last season.

Pretty perfect set of results for us this weekend. If ever we need to make a statement it's now.

I had seriously forgotten about Welbeck. Poor bloke, feel sorry for him.

No I can't see it happening. More like Wenger signs a new 3yr contract.

If we're serious about a title challenge, it's a must win game today. Also could do a clean sheet for my fantasy footy with Cech, Özil and Bellerin... |
