I can see Barca getting annoyed and ending up with a red card

Fingers crossed.

 

[Converge]

Nice few mins from us

 

[Droolinggimp]

lucky and unlucky from rashford there

 

[fez]

Weghorst really isn’t very good when it comes down to it at this level. A useful body but he plays because we have no options.

 

[Converge]

Are Barca going to have to pull a lever to beat us tonight?

 

[fez]

Forgot how much of a cheating little **** Alba is. Hope he gets a second yellow.

Barca have kicked the ball away 2/3 times now and not got a card. It's almost unbelievable.

Spain innit.. We (English clubs) don't get **** in these games.

Now we've got 45 minutes of them trying to get Varane sent off at every opportunity, after that card.

 

[Droolinggimp]

Pleased with that. Took a while to get into it but once we did, we are evenly matched.

Elland Road was a better atmosphere than this place.

80,000 of them are tourists..

Yeah - I was worried they'd be a fair bit ahead of us but it's quite a young Barca side and we are quite experienced. Aside from the usual Fred/AWB madness we've looked ok. Varane and Shaw solid at the back. Need a bit more from Sancho (I think I've said that before!)

AWB needs to stop letting balls run...they're pressing too hard to get away with it. Whole team in fact, taking too long on the ball.

Young? Alonso, Alba, Lewa are all the wrong side of 30.

All of our players are 30 or younger.

I have also noticed we have been having lots of balls taken off us from behind, as if no one is shouting "MAN ON"

 

[Droolinggimp]

Hoping for a 30 min cameo from Nacho. Guaranteed a goal.

 

[Robbo]

Poor goal to concede

 

[JamesH85]

BARCELONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA de de de de de derrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Brings back memories of being young.

 

[mid_gen]

Balls. Have to stop giving the ball away.
