Maybe it would have been a great performance if its the first game of the tie.
but we started it 2-0 down. There wasnt a moment where it got really bad for Barca in first half they were unlucky not up to 1-0 at least, only great moments for us came at around 50th minute two good chances missed by us, but even then Messi had a great chance (woodwork), and after that we were unlucky with the ref, Lescott brainfuck when we scored a goal it was too late for anything...
Imagine if the home game ended at 0-0, Barca would have put lot more energy into the game in first half they didnt need to as they were 2-0 up already.
We wanted to make sure we are at 0-0 at worst in first half, we did well in that, apart from conceding a goal that wasnt really offside and giving away a pen by Lescott that wasnt given, while only one chance missed by NAsri but 0-0 wasnt bad as that was the gameplan. I didnt like the gameplan, but looking back it was the plan, 0-0 at HT and then bring more energy to attacks and hopefully score one and from 1-0 up we copuld go mental. But we never scored when we really needed, Zabba's miss was so bad...
Did we lose in pride, well we fought hard vs a better team, tried what we could, and we ended up losing the tie 4-1.
For me losing in pride is what PSG did vs them last year, 0-0 and 2-2 in two games and only losing by away goals scored.
Losing 4-1 is something different.
Losing to a wigan side is also something that puts it into different perspective. We had players on bench to make sure they will be up for today. We lost that game, lost this as well.
Maybe the league...
