    Giroud has been poor.

    Other than the last 2 minutes, we have looked solid.

    Barca didnt have a shot on target in that half, hopefully they have zero shots on target all game.

    Well played so far Arsenal.

    Messi has been quality, but the rest are clearly not used to the opposition actually giving them a game!!

    Decent 1st half that, we kept Barca pretty much where we wanted them. Other than a couple of chances at the end, we kept them at bay. Oxo a bit unlucky with his chance and how the **** did Barca get a foul when Ox got taken out on that counter ?!

    The problem is that Arsenal have been in Barca's position before, as we have seen, the opposition thats defending eventually tire, and slip up, hopefully that doesnt happen.

    More of the same in 2nd half please. We've been really good closing the spaces when Barca have had the ball near our box. We just need to make one of those counter attacks count in the 2nd half and it could be advantage Arsenal going into the 2nd leg.

    Barca looked strong near the end of the half, hopefully they don't find their rhythm and game during the second, against Munich we managed to completely ruin their game I don't they did anything in the second half, hopefully we can do the same in the second half.

    For 40 mins we were exellent. Last 5 mins our energy dipped and Barca started to capitalise.

    Oxo should have given us the lead but as always he fluffed his chance.

    Still 0-0 would be a very good result

    Part of that was our own fault, we gave the ball away in the middle, and Barca got their real first chance from open play.
