Very good team, I just wonder if Olsson-Toral is a bit too attacking minded.

by EL Patron Tue Mar 18, 2014 4:55 pm

that team is too strong, won't be surprised if this is a cakewalk.

by Jay29 Tue Mar 18, 2014 4:56 pm

Hayden was a late withdrawal, presumably for injury, and Kamara is injured, so Olsson and Toral are playing together our necessity, really. Think Olsson will play the "Arteta" role.

Lets go

by Jay29 Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:04 pm

Early signs suggest that Gnabry is playing centrally, Toral on the right and Maitland-Niles on the left.

Arsenal pressing Barcelona high up.

by EL Patron Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:07 pm

Lovely from Gnabry, unlucky

by RealGunner Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:13 pm

We are dominating them

by Jay29 Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:13 pm

Need to capitalise on this start. We've been excellent so far.

by RealGunner Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:19 pm

Penalty!!!!!

Akpom <3

by Jay29 Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:20 pm

Penalty won by Akpom.

Missed by Olsson.

This better not turn out like that Bayern game...

Good save by their goalie

by EL Patron Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:29 pm

Our pressing has been amazing, would be interesting to see if they can maintain this in the second half as well

by RealGunner Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:29 pm

Zelalem is a class above everyone on the pitch lol

by RealGunner Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:32 pm

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

wtf rofl

1-0 barcelona via an Arsenal assist

by Jay29 Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:32 pm

And it's 1-0 Barcelona. Terrible mistake from O'Connor; took too long to clear the ball, invited pressure and ended up kicking it straight at El Haddadi.

by EL Patron Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:33 pm

that was quite sloppy Laughing

by Jay29 Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:42 pm

Traore giving Ormonde-Ottewill a torrid time down our left. Proving too quick to handle at the moment.

Need to get Zelalem and Gnabry in the game more.

by Jay29 Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:44 pm

Finally! Serge Gnabry equalises. Good run found brilliant by Olsson or Toral, nice finish into the far corner.

by RealGunner Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:44 pm

gNABRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

by RealGunner Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:45 pm

That was Toral. He has gone really fast since 3 years ago.

by EL Patron Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:45 pm

lovely from Torral and Gnabry, Gnabry finished it like a boss

by Jay29 Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:47 pm

If there's one thing we need to do in the second half, it's get a better grip on Traore. He looks threatening every time he runs at us.

by Sina Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:52 pm

draw is the least we deserve
good stuff lads

wish Crowley could be with them as well

Serge and Chubz<3

by urbaNRoots Tue Mar 18, 2014 5:55 pm

Very impressed by this young team, pressing high up the pitch, winning the ball quickly back after losing it and creating chances on the other end.

by Jay29 Tue Mar 18, 2014 6:08 pm

2-1 Barcelona. Traore.

Poor, poor defending from Arsenal.
