3. Target Javier Mascherano
One surprising tactic that Arsenal did not deploy was using the aerial prowess of Olivier Giroud on Javier Mascherano. The French attacker certainly is great in the air and lack of using him as an outlet should be addressed in the next game.
Mascherano might be a centre-back but he does not have the height or the leap that Giroud possesses, certainly lumping balls into Giroud for 90 minutes won’t make sense but Arsenal should exploit this mismatch whenever they have a chance in the next round at the Camp Nou.
