Champions League Quarter Final Games 12-15th August

[burnley blue mcfc]

Lets not kid ourselves bayern are a top drawer side but barca’s defending has been horrendously bad, school boy stuff, if we beat lyon these will be a major test in the semi

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

He is but you just have to keep him defending or catch him out of position
Giving him the ball will cause issues

Problem is he can be 50 yards out of position and still catch you in 5 strides

 

[dhruvblue]

We probably would of loaned Davies out

You mean to see we would have Come across a statement : We need to buy bcoz X player ISN'T READY YET?

 

[hertsblue]

Barcelona’s record signing is on the bench for Munich and applauding Munich’s goals. Spent pretty horribly the last few years and left with a team with ageing players, Once Messi goes/retires they will be like a Leicester

 

[blueballs84]

Could be seeing the functional end of Pique and Busquets.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Can we have a few broken toe nails now,the odd stubbed toe as well

About to go full misery, are we?

 

[Tb1981]

Dippers beAt these last year because they matched the work rate
Barca haven’t been close
We have the quality but we need to show the hunger too starting tomorrow

 

[Tevez City]

Feel sorry for Barca

 

[skyblues]

Messi doesn't do it in big games anymore. Maybe it's his team, maybe it isn't.

This game just proves a good manager is everything. Look at Leipzig, not half the players Barca has, yet play much better in build-up and with a clear philosophy.

I hope Pep stays until 2025. Jesus who would replace him...

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Lip up Fati.

 

[Beanhead]

We also would have absolutely clouted this Barca side. I would go with 6-1

 

[Josh_D]

Sort of makes sense if you think about it. We have 330 million people here. Even if the coaching is shit there have to be some gems out there.

That’a very true. A bigger pool of people to pick from, and there’s always a gem. Sometimes, these things also involve luck. You’d be thinking to yourself, ‘how didn’t we spot him?’.

 

[Tb1981]

Old players. Never good when you carry too many.
If your average age is over 30. You simply won't have the athletism to stay with an aggresive team

True
Never rated Vidal though

 

[BlueMedic]

To us ? They won't sell Davies to anyone. He's easily the worlds best LB and he is only 20. Why the hell would they even contemplate selling him.

He's not even 20 yet, still a teenager. Crazy.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

?

I know, I'm clutching at straws with that.

 

[SamBlue]

De Jong, I just can't get it, what is his role in this Barcelona side?

 

[kaz7]

4th dipper mention,kerching fletch

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

IF, if we get past lyon... We've should change our tactics against bayern imo. We make mistakes, and we'll be ripped apart against these.

I'd love pep to play more direct tactics if we get to play them.

 

[BoyataIsGod]

We knew what dangers Bayern possessed before they dismantled this Barca side. These lot are Barcelona only in name they are not a good side, whole different kettle of fish against us. To be the best you have to beat the best LETS HAVE IT!

 

[cjn]

We probably would of loaned Davies out

To be slightly fair he got a shot because of an injury crisis. That said we probably would've played a random midfielder there instead of the young kid.
