I honestly can't see us winning this.
Lets not get too ahead of ourselves here. This is Wenger we're talking about. If we win the league he'll probably say 'I've proven our squad is strong enough' and build on nothing.Quicker than Walcott said:Win this game. Win the Premiership for once. Then build. Build on f****g success and dominate for the next 10 years.
I completely agree. We really did look like a subpar side compare to Barca.Quicker than Walcott said:I can't even picture us dominating a game anymore, or even creating chances. Our collective first touch, movement, awareness, passing accuracy and pressing is ten squillion tiers below Barcelona's.
Alfonso said:This is our most important game in two years as its literally make or break for the title. But ive never seen such a game that we have to win out of principal and pride more than anything else, even if we dont go on and win the title. We cant have another weak performance in a big game because that will seriously kill our reputation and our season would be looked in a totally different light. Its one thing losing and losing comprehensively to Man Utd, Chelsea and Barca and there is another losing to Sp**s.
We have no excuses going into this game, they have got as much injury woes as us, and we have a full week to prepare. Im going to judge Wenger's entire season on this one game.
This is our defining moment more than anything.
i hate when people keep using that men v. boys phrase.. (sorry, just bothers me)Viper said:It was a case of men vs boys.
I really do admire the way Barca play. I wish we were like that. I hope Wenger tries to emulate a few things about Barca in the team.

hmmmmmm.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I agree. If we have truly improved and we genuinely have all this spirit and depth that's being talked about, we'll clean this lot up. We've got a good slice of time to rest and refocus.otfgoon said:Alfonso said:This is our defining moment more than anything.
Agree with this, to take any pride from the season we need to take the title challenge down to the very last breath. If we collapse now no one will care about the combacks or the injuries, it will just be another flop.
