Well yeah what city said too even if it is a shit squad which imo it is far from that, not saying its complete but it isn't 10-2 loss to Bayern lets put it that way.
Liverpool did the double over this Arsenal side too, is the Liverpool squad better than that Arsenal team, no way.
As of would any of the Arsenal players get into Chelsea squad yes, starting 11 probably just Sanchez. However Ozil OxladeChamberlin, the full back Bellerin and Cech are extremely good. Walcott and Perez can do something as strikers too. However i can go through the whole premier league and only find a couple of players that would get into the starting 11 of Chelsea right now anyway. So that argument doesn't work for me either.
Wenger getting top 4 for 101001 years is a good good solid achievement. However he seems to always have a basis and then go and buy the wrong players like Xhaka. He spent 3million more on Xhaka than Chelsea did for Kante, in which Arsene Wenger admitted he choose NOT to sign during the summer. He also refused to bring back Cesc to his midfield 3 years ago because he felt he "didn't need him".
But the biggest problem is the start of Charlie Nicholas' rant for me
"He's always tactically naive," Nicholas said. "He doesn't work enough on the other side of the game. And the game has passed him by because the genius he brought to this country has been caught up.
He is coaching like its still 2002 or whatever and it isn't he has to adapt or be made redundant. Fantastic coach with what he has done but the longer it goes on like this the more tarnishing it does to his legacy. If they didn't get top 4 this season and he stays now, he can no longer say he got top 4 every season without spending what the others did etc.

How is there squad bad? And yes finishing top 4 every year is an achievement but physcially winning 1 trophy or 2 fa cups in 17 years or whatever seems rather shite. I'll take skipping champions league once if it meant 3 premier league titles, 1 champions league title etc Their squad is full of 2nd tier French, Spanish and English players. Who in their squad would be starters in clubs like Bayern, Chelsea? Sanchez, Özil - that's it.
They may not have the best team around, but they have a very solid team. Most of the team are internationals, many representing top nations in the world. There's of course world class players in Ozil/Sanchez/Cech. The squad is way better than like 70% of the league, and that explains the consistent top 4.

Hopefully Bellerin is a starter for Bayern next season :p
Can't think of any better replacement for Lahm atm

Is Barca going to do magic or will they go full Arsenal?

I am actually thinking Barca can bring us some magic tonight. Motta and DiMaria out for PSG and Barca are scoring freely again. Can they do it vs PSG, i think they can you know. First 25 minutes key to this though, if Barca come out and grab a couple of goals i would have them as firm favourites to advance.

At least they are starting with Rakitic now

Yeah it's 3-4-3 which i think they debuted it vs Atletico Madrid after the 4-0 defeat and they looked way more solid. This formation is how Barca should play i think, also it makes Masch 100x better in this kinda formation.

Another HUGE decision, clearly the pull back from Draxler hits Mascherano's hand, but Is that enough for a penalty?!
|
Damn if Neymar had scored there

Both sides not playing out opportunities very well now. Di Maria's speed is missed.
