Cronky Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Arsenal's game depends on confidence, and it wasn't there tonight. Clichy is the only player that can look in the mirror and say that he really gave it a go. Their only chance was to shake Barca up a bit, but they weren't up for it.

They just don't have a clue what to do when they don't have the ball for long periods of time, which is why they usually get battered by the biggest teams.

It was always going to be difficult for them, because they play a similar game to Barca, only Barca do it better. They really needed to seize any chances that came their way. I suppose they did miss the likes of Fabregas and Arshavin, who always at least try and express themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think Barca is much deeper than Arsenal at all. They just have better players in general and some of Arsenal's best player seem heavily injury-prone. Lionel Messi is really good, btw. I'm just hoping he's having an off day on June 12. Really tired of playing such good teams in the first matches of the WC. Spain, Argentina, and Argentina in the last three Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
