PBP: UEFA Champions League | Round 1/8 1st Leg | AC Milan vs FC Barcelona | 20 Feb 2013 [R]

Oh gawd, Sanchez on.

 

Alexis IN, Cesc OUT.

Iniesta to midfield, Alexis to LW.

 

When will we stop playing Iniesta at LW? he's a midfielder who does well against La Liga teams at that position.

 

Messi been very quiet this match.

 

I see we havent learned how to play Italian teams. Same shit all the time. How about testing the keeper, do we even have a shot on goal?

 

Alexis gives the ball away and Puyol fouls. Jesus.

 

We have one.

 

Calls this foul, but doesnt call hand ball that lead to their goal... WOW

 

Forget Italian teams, we haven't learned to play teams that set up defensively. Same shit against Chelsea last year. It's just pass.pass.pass.pass some more and let the other team score. What the hell happened to the killer instinct this team used to have?

 

60% possession, and only one? eeekkk. And that was Xavis shot from distance

 

Sloppy as hell with the ball...just started watching right at the hand ball goal...has Milan been pressing like this the whole game?

 

Nope. Just a bad foul by Alves that lead to a free kick.

Milan has looked more dangerous though with their counters. Barca havent done anything! Very sloppy, and repetitive making it easy for Milan.

 

Neither Samuel Eto'o nor David Villa are on the pitch.

 

The team isn't showing any sense of urgency. No direct play, no going after the ball with multiple players, no shots to even test the GK.

 

Sanchez has lost it completely.

 

What does that have to do with a killer instinct? you don't need a true cf to play attacking football.

 

Unintentional it might have been, but it hit his hand and dropped to Boateng so ref had to give it. Having said that Pedro wasn't exactly the bravest when the initial shot came in.

 

That someone should be Sanchez but his confidence is shot.

 

There you go INiesta, what a shot

 

Finally! more of that

 

FINALLYYYYY someone shoots ....
