been reading around the internet and got a lot of people say we won but it was an ugly match because we just defend all the way. i wonder why playing defensively is deemed as ugly?
imo, playing defensively is also one of the tactics in football. this is barcelona we are talking about. the team that got the most attacking threat besides real madrid. we will be uberly stupid to go for an all-out attacking mode against this team because this will make ourselves exposed at the back. even when playing defensively, without the decipline that our lads showed last night, we might still not be able to content the attacking threat that barca got.
after all, it is the result that will be remembered for.
Ugly to some people whe expected to see a fast flowing style of football like what Barcelona, Arsenal, MauU are doing. But to play this type of game against Barcelona, isIMO a suicidal plan. The defend and counter attack strategy is better against Barcelona inMO

wow... negative comment about our game play...
i. negative football
ii. win ugly
iii. 1 shot on target
iv. dominated by barca
I guess we have defended well if not we have lady luck on our side...
So what about the negative talks?
The Blues still won right? That is the ultimate thrill!!
BArcelona has about 73% of posession, many shots on goal, but not a single goal.
The Blues relies on counter-attacking football, and they make full used of that.
