QUOTE (han2503 @ Sep 13 2011, 09:21 PM)  Well so far what seperates us is a free-kick... Take the tinted glasses off for a second, they've been all over us, bar the Pato surge in the first minute and the half chance if his touch was right around the 25 minute mark. The scoreline is close, but the game hasn't been.

QUOTE (Milan Are Brilliant @ Sep 13 2011, 09:18 PM)  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. Barca are missing their 2 CBs, aside from that it's their best line-up. Also note that Puyol was missing for the majority of last season and they won it without him without too much trouble...

The scoreline is close, but the game hasn't been. But the fact is that a free-kick is what seperates us. And that is the fact of the matter (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Sure they were all over us from minute one, but at the end of the day the result is what matters. I'm far from wearing any tinted glasses. In fact I'm very disappointed and believe that we should do better then this. Certainly show more energy and use the ball better

I really can't be bothered to defend an opposing team... especially one called Barcelona. Think what you like (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Think what you like (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Are you seeing me trying to put them down? I'm just saying that I'll take this score. There's no doubt they are the better team by miles, but the fact is that we scored a goal against them and kept the scoring to 1 from open play Especially after the kamakhazi defending we saw last weeked. I'll take this as a positive. I always said that this being the opening game for us will hurt us, we're simply not ready. Not making any excuses, but I expected us to do worse then this to tell you the truth and that is why I'm ok with it

I'm not a lover of Barca, at all I'm sure a few will let you know that here. I agree GETTTTT INNNNNNN
