Nearly a second from Villa to Pedro, takes a great save form Shez.

Arsenal counters and Wilshere delivers a lovely ball to RVP, who misses from quite close.

Eboue is pretty shite distributing the ball.

Knew it would come. Arsenal have been weak in the center all match. Kos and Djourou once again failing to mark the man.

Nasri having trouble tracking back leaves Alves room to go forward.

Between Song getting caught too far forward and Kos & Djourou being inexperienced this is really troubling.

Arsenal on the counter need to finish, their pace is giving barca fits.

Nasri MUST begin tracking back, that right side is wide open for Alves.

Ustream.

I'll stop so I don't spoil anything.

Barcelona are the best team I've ever seen at moving after the pass. That's the difference to me. The passer is passing into one area so he can move into another to get it back, only to give it to the next guy who he saw coming in from the first pass. Brilliance.

nah its cool i just wont refresh.

Barca is so good. And it pisses me off cus Arsenal could be that good if they would spend some freaking money. Or get someone that can play defense.

Arsenal creating some chances, must capitalize.

Wilshere looks their best player. Can't believe he's only 19. Jesus he's good. I look forward to Cesc leaving just to see him move higher up the pitch.

Arsenal have to hit on the counter. Barca normally plays high, but they are exceptionally high tonight.

Pedro nearly catches Arsenal on a quick set piece but is a step off.

Messi puts another in the back of the net after finding Pedro, whose shot is denied by Shez again. But, Messi is off.

eboue is garbage, might as well just play with 3 on the back line.

Yep. Missed too many good breaks.

Eboue bad give at the back, saved by Koscielney.

Oh, and FTR, Sergio Busquets = most underrated player in the world. Best one touch passer in the world, and never hits a poorly weighted ball.

Looks like Messi may have been on for his second.

That would be disastrous. Arsenal don't have people on the pitch can man mark Messi, Pedro, and Villa altogether, much less one on one.

Arsenal needs Arjen Robben to score a goal all by himself. Y'all can borrow him for a day if y'all agree to buy Ribery.

Well eboue was just on the opposite touchline. Might as well put someone who can score if he isnt going to play d.

Eboue thinks hes alves or maicon out there.

Eboue plays up and you have a guy like wislhere or fabregas moving back. That doesn thelp this team.

Barcelona also do an unreal job when surrounded of earning the throw. Most English teams just boot that shite, but Barca keeps, keeps, keeps, plays it off your shin and gets the throw. It's nuts.

Messi makes Eboue his bitch and hovers over him. Nice.
