kesian messi and sanchez. in tears..

the most embarrassing loss ever in my 16-17 years as a fan

Why?
Chelsea lost their captain, went a man down, conceded a penalty but yet we can’t beat them.
What did our players do in the whole of 2nd half? Pass the ball side to side, side to side. They probably thought it was a game of keeping the ball.
Take a bloody shot you asses..

pep shud bring a new cb earlier this season i think..huu

Bayern or Real. Anyone will do.  

Congratz to Chelsea then. Though I can't give much credit too bus-parking tactic which conceded 2 goals

And hats off to our players. They must be dissappointed but the crowd know they've given their best. Nice to see they cheered up the players in the end. You see that's the thin line for ya. If Messi scored his penalty, Chelsea performance will have become of poor and lacking substance, instead of being hailed as brilliant right now.

Time for renewing Pep's contract and rebuilding with players like Thiago, Tello and Cuenca. Cuenca especially did well against the bus Tello's speed didn't help much.
Don't be sure yet. If Iniesta or Xavi get to score in the EURO final the Ballon will go to them

For Messi, yeah he is having a bit of a rough patch now. But flop of the match? Drogba did nothing up front, and conceded a penalty too. But he is no flop?

why torres is not offside? he is way far beyond the last defender?

Yup. 430 am

yup iinm. you wanna plan your sleeping time?

Now suddenly i just hate valdes more, becoz of his silly mistake in first leg that cost us that away goal.. but i feel muc better the way we play in d 2nd half despite playin wit 10 men.

Why it must be Tello why? He always rush things, always go for himself. Maybe Tito asked him to but..

You obviously didn't enjoy the 5-1 win didn't you?
We had a more direct approach too!

And the Pique and sMasch and joining the attack, that's nothing new.
I love it when Pique goes up.
He's been doing it since 08-09.
Where did the Piquenbauer name came from you think?
Why was he praised so much all this while?
A great defender who is comfortable on the ball and able to bring it out from the back.

He has been given many minutes since last season.
He scored 2 goals vs. Leverkussen remember in what was his first CL match or something.
And I bet you missed the R. Sociedad match.
Please download it and come back at me with a Tello review.
He was lightning it up!
Goals and assists.

Why do you say that he is turning Barca into a Barca B????

First of all, he never coached Barca B before.
He was just an assistant of Pep.

I'll reserve the rest until I see your explanations.

Yes indeed. It was a well deserved win.
They gotta thank VV for that, for helping them have believe.
2 goals down is much tougher than being a 1 goal down.

This false 9 thing has been going on since the CL Final 09 vs. Man Utd.
It is really nothing new.
He is instructed to drop deep to offer offer build up support and do triangles.

I don't really support this because he will have more work to do covering up space to score goals.
But this is the reason why he is the undisputed best football player.
Better than Iniesta, Xavi and Ronaldo.
The amount of work he is doing is unbelievable!
Score, assist, drop deep to build up & control possession, defending.

Those long passes resulted in a Pedro goal in the 1st leg and again at the Bernaboo when Pedro superbly controlled with his left and shot with his right. Almost went in between Iker's legs.

I also thought that Villa should've come on.
But I guess he is not at that stage yet.
But I still think that Villa would've offered much more threat.

I'm pretty sick of Alexis.
Never convinced about him actually but last year he put in some decent performances.
And he does a lot of tracking back which I really rate highly.

But his finishing is suspect.
He was never a goal scorer actually.
More of a winger/playmaker.

We simply need more goal scorers.
Messi can't do it all.

And I hate his diving!
Such an athletic guy but can't stay on his feet.

It's really unfortunate that Busi get's the dive tag on him because on a couple of dives when you have people who are serial divers like Alexis, Pepe, Di Maria rolling around.

Yeah looking forward to MVP again.
But I dont have high expectations.
Can't expect it to be like 2010-11.
Villa is much older now and came back from a long injury.

My notes on the game.

1) Really gentleman of the players to stay back after the match unlike Madrid players before.
2) It just shows how cool this players are by not losing their heads in the match when they're losing by 2 goals, a man down and not resort to foul play.

it's supercup not copa del rey yet

imo, the forward, pedro and messi should starts, and then for another spot is for sanchez or villa, which I prefer villa to get more playing time.

as for defender, puyol can't play all matches, we might see masch-pique combo for most of the time, and puyol to play some of the game, in any case one of them injured, let just hope that bartra will be able to fill in those void. and fontas is still here for a backup.

it's not a matter of getting a cb, but to get a cb that suits with barca style.
