It's a game over after 22nd minutes this time.. Chelsea have different approach and did not like Man United , whose manager Sir Alex always liked to destroy Arsenal no matter at home or away , I still remembered 5-0 humilating defeat of FA Cup two or three years ago ?? Chelsea like to nulify you , let u play and keep the possession in middle third , but u cannot penentrate to their final third , maybe Arsenal have one or maybe two occasions but Nasri and Walcott either hesitated or miscontrolled the ball in the box , after split of second the ball was kicked away..

Wenger kept saying he was satisfied with team performance , then how could your players let Drogba , who scored 10 goal in previous 11 matches already against your team , to score another 2 goals within 22 minutes ?? Now his personal record is 12 goals in 12 matches against Arsenal. Don't u feel shameful when u reviewed this satistic ? Even the most mediocre manager will ask their players to pay attention of Drogba .. I really cannot realise whether it's those players who wouldn't or couldn't even bother to watch out him !!!

Why playing Walcott ? What has his done in 65 min ? The only play i can remember is his chasing back to Ashley Cole to prevent 3-0 down in 1st half ? Then his miscontrolling ball in the box in 2nd half which wasted any chance to shoot , then he was substituted immediately.. What a waste of squad ? You cannot even compete when u play 11 full and complete players , let alone u keep playing invisble Walcott and pity Almunia ...Nasri was awful , unproductive and frustrating , he missed the only chance to shoot while facing Cech and what was he thinking at that moment ? You earned your own living but u don't deserve what you earned..

There are total 27-28 players in this team , but unfortuately after van Persie is injured , while Bendtner is still not fully match fit. There is no more striker in this team.. Eduardo ? Vela ? We can count them as part time player while they are earning full time wages.. Injury is part of the game but if you find out there is no striker in your team and you need to rely on Fabregas to head the ball in the box , and Arshavin being central forward in last 10 games.. then I really doubt there must be something going wrong from the top to the bottom of this team..!!

Verdict : This Wenger's experiment of last 4.5 years , since may 2005 , is a failure and will be failed unless we have a proper keeper like Seaman , a proper anchor like Gilberto Silva or PV4 , and a proper striker like Bergkamp or at least Pires ..otherwise we can forget it .

p.s. now Arsenal become a joke for those commentator , no matter in uk or in hkg.. the fans suddenly find themselves like an idiot if we still believe the team which have even 5 percent to win the premier league , today Jockey club offered 20 to 1 for Arsenal to win the league .. Champion league ? for God sake, give me a break !

Wilshere and Szczesny give Arsenal far more authority and guts

By Myles Palmer

Arsenal 2 Barcelona 1

Villa 26, Van Persie 78, Arshavin 83

____________________________

The key player in the Nou Camp will be Szczesny.

So pray that nothing happens to Arsenal’s goalkeeper between now and Tuesday, March 8th.

Barcelona’s style is cleverly-timed runs onto sharp little passes, which ｃｒｅａｔｅs a lot of one-on-one chances with the keeper.

Wojciech Szczesny’s fine positional judgement makes him a master of making opponents shoot into the side-netting or just past the post.

On the goal, he was a bit unlucky because David Villa, a razor finisher in these situations, slotted between his legs.

By contrast, he got lucky on the loose ball after his save, when the scrambling Messi headed in but was flagged offside. Messi wasn't offside.

For me, Szczesny was Arsenal’s best player last night for that reason. Making Messi miss was the name of the game.

Yes, Koscielny played his finest game in an Arsenal shirt.

Yes, Jack Wilshere played with remarkable authority at the heart of the team. England need to play Jack football, Fabio - not Capello football.

Yes, of course, CL knock-out ties are a game of four halves.

Arsenal lost the first half 1-0 and won the second half 2-0 and halves three and four will roll round 20 days from now.

Arsenal raised their tempo after half-time and the game turned on 68 when Keita and Arshavin came on.

Keita replaced Villa to stiffen Barca's midfield, which was running out of steam, and allowed young Busquets to go ball-hunting further up the field.

Arshavin’s arrival (for Song) allowed him to link in a cool manner with Clichy, who played a killer ball forward into the box with his right-foot and gave Van Persie a chance to hit a mighty left-foot shot on the half- volley inside the near post of Victor Valdes for 1-1.

Valdes has always had flaky moments. That blunder by allowed Arsenal back into a game that Barcelona were still playing mostly in Arsenal's half.

Still, defending deeper can be good. You can only counter-attack if your opponents are in your half of the field. You can attack too much in a game. If you attack less, you often score more.

Frankly, Fabregas, Eboue and Walcott had been crap.

All three played crap. Only a blinkered, badge-kissing nincompoop would say any of those three played well last night.

Arsenal had nothing on the right flank but now, suddenly, that was where the winning goal came from after a fabulous move.

The cool Koscielny picked up the ball in his penalty area, passed to Bendtner, who passed infield to Wilshere, then quickly forward to Fabregas, who instantly released Nasri with a superb ball down the right flank.

Nasri could have tried the obvious with a low cross to the far post but chose instead to play a lovely pass which allowed Arshavin to curl his sidefoot shot behind Abidal and into the net from 15 yards.

That quality goal gave Arsenal their first victory against Barcelona and it set the seal on the pulsating, rocking, thrilling night that the Emirates has needed since 2006.

Sporting Gijon was a factor last night because game was much harder than the Wolves game was for Arsenal .

After two and half years of staggering success, and intensifying pressure, Barcelona are showing signs of burn-out, so Pep has to husband his resources very carefully.

Coming back off an international break, which is mostly where Barcelona ｄｒｏｐ their points, he conceded an early goal at Gijon in a game that was very passionate, intense and physical, since Gijon are fighting for their lives just above the drop-zone.

I was really enjoying the game but as the second half went on I was thinking : This is taking a lot out of Barcelona !

Indeed, it was a helluva battle that was taking a lot out of both sides.

Just as the commentators began to say that David Villa was about to be taken off, he glided onto a wonder-pass from Messi and chipped the keeper from the edge of the box and it finished 1-1.

Success brings a heavy schedule.

The more games you win, the more the pressure is on you. To handle that you need character and guts. Wilshere and Szczesny have given the team a lot more personality and authority than it had last year.

Big characters, big difference.

As Rufus Thomas said, age ain’t nothin’ but a number.
