Really?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/96.gif)

5 mids in there and I'm still not seeing any form of pressing from out players! Ridiculous

Ohh it's 31% possession for us now. We're doing better!! Clap clap

I'm not sure what's funnier. Thinking changes will make a difference, or thinking the way we're playing is the reason we're losing.

They're just far better than us. Defending and hitting them on the counter is just about all you can do.

We can't be too harsh, we are playing Barca at the Nou Camp this is how far we are behind that's all.

I don't believe that (not the part where they're better then us) We can do a lot better then this. We just came here to sit in our own area, that is the only gameplan we seemingly have. Instead of trying to press them a bit and make them make some sort of mistake when on the ball we're basically letting them do whatever they want

Thing is you press them and you leave gaps, then they start playing that tikka tikka crap or whatever it's called.

Oh, and it's pretty funny watching members drop, just because we're losing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Because in the second half Abidal was more and more going to the middle in order to free Busquets to help Barca build play and we didn't have anyone who can exploit it. Though now that Puyol is in it doesn't matter.

When you press them, they make mistakes, if we manage to keep the ball for longer then a second then they'll leave spaces. But all we're doing with it is punting it away. That will only invite them onto us more

I just realized that i have 126 emails to sort out till 5 tomorrow

Dani Alves is an SOB

Just wasteful. When we have posession in their half we gotta keep it. It's rare that situation occurs so just launching it into the box is a complete waste. Our players just have zero patience.

When we start playing this way against BATE and Plzen I'll start worrying. Until then I'll just accept this is Barca and we are nowhere near them, with or without injuries, we don't have Zlatan/Robinho but they are missing people too. If we lose by the odd goal I'm not too bothered I just don't want another repeat of what happened at OT a few years back.

Well so far what seperates us is a free-kick...

Since most were expecting a hammering, I'll take this as a positive...

Aquaman in for Van Bommel. I hope he is responsible defensively. VB has been doing really well defensively for us.
