Arsenal keeper accuses team-mates of walking against Barcelona

The Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia has accused his team-mates of walking rather than running in their Champions League defeat by Barcelona.

I guess they don't come up against real quality like that too often so it's probably understandable that they were utterly clueless and unable to do ANYTHING AT ALL.

and at that point it was still 1-1 so they had the advantage

I think Almunia was the best Arsenal player in this match.
