I'd say Kos but it is extremely tough to call.

A lot of people contributed. Cesc was tireless, Robin and Theo fought all day long as islands, Jack was making Xavi look human, Andrei and Bendtner came on and made 2 big contributions towards goals, Eboue and Clichy marginalized any attacks from the wings, and Wojciech looked even better than Valdez. Even Song and Djourou who were our 2 worst players today worked their asses off making sure Barcelona couldn’t simply boss them around.

In Arsene we trust

Wenger went out and was persistent that he wanted to sign koscielny, at the time people knew little of koscielny and said we needed an experienced world class defender, fast-forward to today and koscielny probably has done the best job ever defending against messi. Wenger is a genius

Best game of the Emirates era?

I just love that RVP beat Valdes near post. We owe them a couple more of those.

That was seriously such a class finish. It would be hard enough to just tap it into an open space barely bigger than the ball but he blasted it in.

van Persie's goal was brilliant

Arshavin came out when we needed him most, pat on the back for him.

But the way Koscielny cotained Messi that game, that was gold. Let’s take it to Spain and beat Barca on their home turf!!!!!

I think Szczesny deserves some credit too

Did reasonably well against a formidable front line.

Well except the Villa goal… I actually think we could have won 2-0, the back line was way too loose on that play.

Sczcesny was awesome all night. Can’t forget about the poise he showed to not give away the penalty late when Arshavin’s miscue put Alves through.

He could have done better on the goal, but I’m going to expect David Villa to score against anyone in that spot, so I can’t criticize him too much.

We've been better on the road

so why not?

Captain, there are doubt's...

Element's from the past and the future combining to form something not quite as good as either.
