Given what this Barca team has done to other teams (including Real an Atletico) 2-0 is a respectable result; what led to this scoreline wasn't, but MSN didn't rampage as expected. When you see United losing to the Danes, Spurs struggling in Europa, and City's inevitable knock-out by Kiev, losing to one of the greatest teams is not disgraceful. Allowing Flamini on the bench, however, is.
Still have a great chance for the double. And the injuries are returning.

I know it was Barca but how many seasons can a team still be naive.
I honestly don't think we have improved that much from last year it's just that the league is so poor.

No Arsenal team, no so called ELITE team should be losing at home. Not to Barcelona, not to Man United, not to City, Milan, Inter, Bayern, not to ANYBODY!
It just shouldn't happen to top teams, and when it does, something obviously went horribly wrong.
Top teams must not lose at home and I'd like to think Arsenal ARE a top team.
I'm really angry about this no scoring #&@"!

Yeah you bottled it, should of had at least a couple before Barca scored. Their defence can really be got at imo. You'd have been better served playing Welbs up front instead of Giroud.
They aren't the same animal away from home so I worry for you in Spain.

Our naivety in defense cost us the game. We were on level with Barca for most of the game. We had MSN under control for most of the game. You can't keep out these kind of players for the whole game. One Little mistake and they punish you and this was what happend to us.
