Won my bet though.
Might hit bed.
I don't get this playing defensively doesn't mean you're a big club. Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world and they've played defensively. It's not a dirty word and is all part of a game which at its very heart is tactical in nature.No disagreement from me there. I just don't think we should be bothered about not acting like a big club when we play defensive at home because we're clearly not that big a club at this stage.
I get it, you're bitter
I merely pointed out that you will soon see whether they play at a different tempo at Camp Nou. Or to avert more bitterness, you might want to skip it
Regarding the game now, I believe we lost the game due to lack of focus and vigilance. More specifically, in the first goal noone tried to foul the ball carriers. That's the moment when you get yellow-carded boys, you don't let Barcelona counter attack you. Oh god, it looked so stupid. Let Messi roam what can go wrong? When they can start a counter attack from deep bring them down fast. How hard can that be!!
Wenger: "I felt we were technically average today. When we looked like we were dominating, we conceded. Like Monaco, it's naive."
Wenger: "Barça are better than us. They never make a wrong pass in transition, always have great first touches to get out of pressure."
Would have been a different story with Wilshere and Cazorla in the team..
Yep, Özil went to the semi-finals 3 seasons in a row at Madrid. Alexis had 2 semi-finals and a quarter-final, they must be gutted that they're not competing in Europe.
I had no hopes before the match, but was positively surprised with the first half performance. We were disciplined and seemed to be executing a game plan which was a nice change. Both Ox and Giroud contributed defensively and I think the goalless draw was possible. However at no point we were competing with Barca as equals. It was more like a bottom half la Liga team being able to steal a point of Barca occasionally. I can't understand why obviously unfit Ox was kept on the field and more so why was he not substituted with Campbell. The moment I saw Flamini I knew we were fooked. At the end we did not shame ourselves which is a pretty sad thing to be satisfied about with this once great team.
They'll be off soon.
