almun didnt mengelamun today... those saves against pedro and messi were top draw! those 2 ibrahim goals, i think it's down to song's inexperience as a CB. he's too used to playing DM he's forgotten how it is to play at CB. i'm quite perplexed as to why denilson is brought on to replace gallas, cuz naturally campbell would be the choice.
bendtner had a good game, having an assist and arguably assisting the penalty for fabregas too, it was a good cushioned header. he shouldve scored with his thundering header in the 2nd half, too bad he directed it towards valdez. either way to his side and we would've had a 3-2 victory. not too shabby indeed.
barcelona, despite their superior possession i thought never actually looked deadly up front. only on those occasions on the first half they looked like a team ready to kill us, but almunia was surprisingly up to the task. they didn't look that razor sharp in the 2nd half, despite the 2 goals.
when walcott came in we changed, i thought we looked fresh. i guess walcott offered that extra dimension in raw pace down the right wing, and suddenly we looked dangerous. valdez couldve done better with that, but i'm sorry valdez, no. 14's undone you.
something that i thought i would never say, but today almunia > valdez. like, woah!
yeah almunia did well, our problem last night was the defence, when Gallas take off the pitch, Song's replace him at CB, the main prob is Vermaelen used t play as RCB(right centre back) and gallas as LCB(left centre back), when song step up as CB, he played as RCB which is the main role for vermaelen, the second goal was obviously seen that vermaelen was misjudge who is suppose to be marked by him, then he let go Ibra for the second goal and it's great finished by him, no pressure.bendtner had a good game, having an assist and arguably assisting the penalty for fabregas too, it was a good cushioned header. he shouldve scored with his thundering header in the 2nd half, too bad he directed it towards valdez. either way to his side and we would've had a 3-2 victory. not too shabby indeed.

) but you can see that during the 3rd quarter of the match they start to feel tired and exhausted, hence giving more rooms for our players to gain back the possession. Credit to our team spirit and attitude and hopefully they can learn the mistake and start pressuring opponent when referee start to blow the whistle for the 2nd leg. If we can start to intercept and cut off their midfield supply, then perhaps we can have opportunity.
