Barcelona (H) Champions League Semi Final 2nd Leg 7/5/19

[niallers]

Our deliveries from set pieces has been terrible. Front post has been hit every time. Stick it in between the posts and let van dijk and fab have a fucking run at it.

Great start, could've maybe should've had a pen again, but fuck they're good at picking holes in our backline. Need the 2nd before 80th to see what's what.

[Oh Buoy]

Bench offers little.

 

Time for Brewster to get 5.

Great first half from the boys. Shame we couldn't get the second goal bt still another half to go and should it come, Barcelona will get very nervous. 

 

Shaq needs to come off. The game is passing him by and he has single handedly created more chances for them than us. 

[andyj]

get brewster on shaq off   origi out wide 

[rubble-rouser]

They look like they might be quite decent going forward. Fabinho is going to get sent off or get one of theirs sent off

[Jairzinho]

Watching some US coverage. Messi has been unbelievable apparently.

[Lee909]

The refs a twat. Everytime they hit the deck he blows. Yet the cunts leaving studs in and nothing. 

 

I fuckin hate Spanish football. A league of snide shithouses

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

They've settled a bit now after the goal. 

 

A big 20 minutes at the start of the second half. Back at them with a bit more puff in our lungs. 

 

Give Shaqiri 10 more minutes. If he carries on giving it away, Brewster time? Or TAA more advanced with Gomez at right back? Get some good crosses in. 

[The Golden Eel]

Alisson has been excellent tonight

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

The spirit of this team is sensational! Great effort so far, against a both excellent and cheating opponent, with the ref on their side.

unbelievably quiet 

[J-V]

Good to see Lallana made the bench.  Waste of fucking space.

[Red House]

Shaqiri's lack of match sharpness really showing. Ran himself into the ground after 15 mins, and a total liability since. Not sure if Origi will last either.

 

Gini on could help at some point, but not much else off the bench. Good effort so far, but gonna need a herculean effort to find another two. Feels like we've spent twice the energy they have.

Solid as a rock.

Apart from the goal the highlight for me was Robbo ruffling Messi's hair and getting away with it.

Hopefully we're twice as fit! 

[ZonkoVille77]

We looked tired at the end of that half. Hopefully it doesn't become a huge issue. Playing ok but just need some calm heads making the right decisions. Bit panicked at times. 

[Scrump]

No! Robertson off FFS

[rubble-rouser]

Fuck. Robbo off.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Robbo off Gini on for cunts sake.

[Razoray]

Gini on. For who?

[Captain]

Let's start the 2nd half like the first and get an early goal. At 2-0 this starts to get interesting.

 

Fabinho has cooled down and Alisson is as cool as it gets.

 

And Origi actually resembles a footballer again.
