Diaby must put years of poor performances and general banality and do something useful for once in his life.
Take out Messi for both games, in the first few minutes of the first leg. Get himself sent off. Both of these actions strengthen our chances - and then we may have chance.
What on earth makes you think Diaby is capable of accurately taking someone out of the game, he's a complete screw up, he'll try to break Messi's leg and end Fabregas's career instead. The further away Diaby is from the pitch the better, I think he makes the team worse just being in the stadium.
Barcelona have won every game away from home, scoring 36 and conceeding 4 lol
Yes, you would think that means the rest of the league is just rubbish, but then, other than Inter, how many Italian, English, French, German, Dutch teams have they also ripped to shreds just as easily in the past 3-4 years.
If they'd done that well in La Liga, but were hit and miss against the best from the other leagues, thats one thing, but they almost always win in the league and almost always win in the champs league aswell
Its barely a contest, worst thing is Arsenal are going to play to their strengths if we do something as stupid as RVP upfront on his own. Everyone but Bendtner being injured was a blessing in disguise last year, he didn't absolutely dominate the back two, but he won most of the headers against Puyol/Pique, scored a goal, set two up and had their defence pushed back much further than most teams. RVP won't offer anywhere near the same threat, same as Real, and they'll just push up and kill us the same way.
