Overall not a bad performance but on another day where Hart wasn't superman we could have got spanked. Ferd was amazing and doing two jobs as Yaya was fucking pathetic, we could have called up Fofana or Ntcham and they would have done a better job than him, he jogged about and did fuck all in the second half, this was after he was "rested" specifically for this game. After he was moved forward he still had no impact.
Nasri was invisible again, just like against Arsenal, I don't think he has the balls to play big games unless we are already on top.
The rest of the team were varying degrees of good to average. We should have had a penalty near the end but of course we don't get it as usual.
I personally believe our tactical approach to these CL games are wrong and we need to play with a three man midfield, time after time we seem to get overrun and we also don't seem to be able to control the game like we do in the league. Our players are equal to europe's elite, there is in theory no reason why we can't go head to head with them and come out on top yet we seem to come up short each time so far. Such as last season, we were on fire, top goalscorers in the whole of Europe yet we try sit and defend against a Barca team with a very leaky defence, it made no sense to me. As a club we don't seem to have that mentality yet, teams should fear our attacking line yet we don't give them any reason to by playing so timidly.
Seeing how Roma have thrashed CSKA we could be looking at another season where 10 points might not be enough.
