All 3 of them were going for their own chances a lot, sometimes when it was the worst option. I saw all three of them doing the hand gesture of "why not to me, I'm free" during the game. And to all 3 of them I was thinking: yeah.
Messi had 1 succesful dribble in the whole game... Versus 6 of Bale lol Well, there goes his trademark
Judging by his videos on instagram he won't have any trouble performing as a background dancer for Shakira next season. Better off doing that.
Poor McManaman. I think we almost killed him missing all those chances. He was trying to be neutral, but he was just seething after each failed counter.
Which is a smart adjustment. Most teams attack 4-4-2 by either overloading the midfield or playing wide through the wings. Since Barca is no threat from the width, we could stay compact and take away the space in the middle.
You've been preaching this for a min mymy and holy hell reading this thread after the game was over had a lot of PUSSIES in it. I won't quote the post now since most seemed liked they weren't from regulars but one person posted 95% chance we lose after they equalized. I mean WTF LOL Damn people I get we won't win every game by 5 but stop being pussies and have faith. Wait for shit to play out. How the hell did you pussies make it through that year we had a crazy comeback with Capello? Lol Anyway awesome win and that goal by bale! Burn you ********ing cunts barca!
how did alves avoid a card for hitting our player in the face with the ball with intent? such a clown....
he was rolling around holding his face during the game for nonexistant fouls to his face.... classless b1tches....
Three things you can take from this clip: 1- The commentator 2- Ronaldo celebrating 3- Bale was obviously exhausted
We kicked their butts, to be honest. Barca has slipped, but holding them to 2 chances and not really being threatened was remarkable defending given our deficiencies. I know we switched off twice and were punished for it once, but that was quite the performance. If we had been more ruthless on our chances this would have been a complete white wash. Well deserved win. The first 20 minutes from Benzema were probably the best I've ever seen him play. He was brilliant. Then when we started missing chances, it seemed to infect the team and all 3 of our front 3 just started missing chances, making stupid decisions, etc. Really all 3 were guilty...we should have put this game away early. In any event, when you win and thoroughly outplay the other team, that's a great thing. Especially since Barca is good. If we play this well against Bayern (who is also wide open at the back), I will be happy. We obviously need to finish better, and can't afford the mental lapses, but our strategy, work and overall play was outstanding. They never even got in the game.
