Goodness Eboue is horrid.

3 of the back 4 for Arsenal really need to step their game up.

Tactically Arsenal having Song play so high and Nasri push so frequently on counters is giving them fits on defense.

With the tactics employed by Arsenal they really can't afford to continue blowing their opportunities they have on the counter attack. Some of which are very decent chances.

Barca could be up by more. You cant squander your chances against a team like Barca.

Wilshere is playing out of his mind.

Would not be surprised to see Song get subbed at half for Denilson or Diaby. Song is a sneeze away from a red card.

Nasty will eventually get subbed for Arshavin since he is being asked to attack so far forward and track back, plus he is only just returning from injury. Arshavin coming on scares me though, since he isn't known for tracking back.

This might be a Denilson type game.

I don't know, Denilson is a better distributor of the ball which would cut down on those costly give aways in the center, but Song is by far better at defending. Although, Denilson will be more probe to staying back deeper in defense than Song who is playing very high this match. It could be beneficial to having another person sitting just ahead of the backline.

Song is about 5 minutes away from a second yellow.

All of RVP's shots have skied over the bar. He must do better.

Someone for Arsenal needs to crack a shot. Wilshere needs to let one loose if he has space outside the edge of the box.

Arsenal really would be better off not even having Eboue out there. I am amazed how bad he is.
