Jamani wana Arsenal wote tumwombee Nahodha Cesc apone mapema na kutuongoza kuwatoa Barca na kuingia nusu fainali

Hata akipona hataweza kutuongoza kwa kuwa alipata kadi nyingine ya njano jana!

Hello fellas! Great result considering we were 2 nill down to a team that keeps possession like no other.

One thing we (Arsenal) should accept that Barca can keep the ball more than us, 2cheze kama tulivyocheza last 20 minutes, coz 1st half we tried to show them we are better than they are matokeo yake wakatuzidi.

But I'm satisfied with the spirit of our boys, especially Denilson msimu mzima nimem-critisize but jana alinisikia kapiga mpira sana.

Plastic at best! He got three yellows and banned from next game.

Hahahahaha we chonga tu 🙂 I wish you a Good friday and Easter Monday.

Thanks, you too brother!

Hahahahaha, hype ilikuwa kubwa sana kabla ya mechi kwamba itakuwa bonge la game....but we all saw only one team turned up, and it wasn't Arsenal. You were played off the park until you reverted to your version of long ball football - knocking the long passes for Walcott to chase!

Good admission mate! The best way is to play to your strenght - knocking the long balls for Walcott to chase.

Early Doors - Your morning briefing blog


And Arsenal have less than 72 hours to gather themselves for a very different challenge, as Barcelona's trip to North London is followed up by a visit from Wolves. They could go from being played off the park to kicked off it in the space of three days.After 20 minutes last night, ED received a text suggesting Arsenal were playing rope-a-dope, and it turned out to be precisely the case as they somehow came back off the ropes to nab an improbable 2-2 draw.
Nonetheless, it was painful viewing for Arsene Wenger, who can rarely have seen his side technically exposed so ruthlessly.
The game lived up to its billing as a feast of football - the problem was that only one team were playing it.
Manuel Almunia, much-maligned for a very good reason (he's rubbish), caught up on three seasons worth of world-class saves in half an hour
Then, having apparently come through the worst, Arsenal gave away two cheap goals - possibly having spent too much time listening to pundits writing Zlatan Ibrahimovic off.
As the author of a blog post entitled 'Why Ibrahimovic is ace', it is clear where ED's sympathies lie, and it had hoped English people might come to the realisation that he is brilliant without him having to score twice against a Premier League side.
That never happened, but at least his brace at the Emirates will shut up the critics who call him a big-game bottler.
Well, it might have done were it not for that implausible missed open goal in the first few minutes. ED says he knew he was offside and is sticking to its story.
Even without Andres Iniesta, Barcelona launched attack after attack, slicing, dicing and lacerating the Arsenal back line.
It could have been death by a thousand cuts, but Arsenal wrapped themselves in Elastoplast and reverted to their equivalent of long ball football - knocking passes down the line for Theo Walcott to chase.
Considering the punishment they withstood, two-all is not just a good result for Arsenal, it is borderline miraculous.
It was a bit like watching a hurricane come tearing towards your house and battening down the hatches, then emerging from your storm bunker afterwards to discover a couple of roof tiles are loose.

Chelsea had 13 shots and committed 16 fouls whilst Barca had 14 shots and committed 17 fouls. Chelsea also had more corners and offsides - not indicative of 'parking the bus'.

United had 11 shots and committed 10 fouls whilst Barca had 12 shots and committed 7 fouls. United also had more corners and offsides - not indicative of 'parking the bus' either.

Arsenal had 5 shots and committed 17 fouls whilst Barca had 21 shots and committed 10 fouls. Arsenal had no corners at all and also had more yellow cards awared to their players than Chelsea or United did.

I wouldn't dare argue that Arsenal 'parked the bus' but if you're trying to convince me that they went about knocking Barca out of the CL in 'the right way' then you'll be wasting your time. They got lucky, simple as that

We compete in EPL.
Please, don't tell me Arsenal compete with Barca if all you can do is finding the hide out inside your own stadium! There will be no hiding place at Camp Nou.
You couldn't bark at your own backyard let alone having teeth!!!!

Good analysis mate, the best player for them was Almunia, that tells you the whole story.

And that was at Emirates! Guardiola anasema hajawahi kucheza vizuri away katika Champions League kama against Arsenal. This can easily be translated kwamba hii ndio mechi yake rahisi zaidi away from Camp Nou in the UCL.

Good to see you understand the meaning of football now (thanks again to Barca's LESSON). Next time Arsenal wakipiga "pretty" pass match nzima bila kufunga goli against the weak oppostion like Wolves, usije hapa na kuanza kipiga domo kwamba Arsenal wanacheza mpira mzuri kuliko timu zote England. MPIRA NI MAGOLI.
