Irakozium257 350 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) The draw should serve as a silver lining to wake up the apathetic board and Roman and buy as many quality players as possible in January. FFS this is a big club, I'm, as a fan, sick and tired that we have to make due with average players like the patjetic Alonso (did anyone else notice the audacity he had to moan subtly about being substituted against WH?). Fucking pathetic player, I hate him so much. Bakayoko is a lost cause. The guy has the swagger of a coward. We have the possibility of buying so many great players who can replace these journeymen, Guerreiro being a good example. We could also recall RLC. In the end, I just wish that Conte gets unlimited and unconditional support next month. We've finally gotten a coach that feels and is the ONE for this club. I beg for the apathetic board and Roman not to take him for granted. Edited December 11, 2017 by Irakozium257 Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicway 1,333 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Against Villareal yesterday they won 2-0 but Villareal was down to 10 men. The opening goal at around the 60th minute. I actually think they are the best team so far in this year's champions league, together with PSG and City also. Bayern is not impressing me at all and RM as we know had a very bad start of the season if nothing else.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't offer much away to Juve, drew at home to Celta & away to Olympiakos. They aren't as open or expansive as years gone by and are certainly beatable. I personally think this draw was the best to extent, as we aren't favourites, which is normally when we perform best. Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Don’t think it will be anywhere near as bad as people think. I mean the matches aren’t to February... Barca is Barca but they aren’t unbeatable as Valencia showed few weeks ago. Real/PSG game should be a belter for neutral football fans.

He could n't really hurt Olympiakos (3-1 was the aggregate score between them). Fact is that the strong teams of the primera always resist them, better than European opposition do.

Popular Post! Milan 17,957 Posted December 11, 2017 Popular Post! Share Posted December 11, 2017 Looking forward to it. Pretty sure Barcelona is extremely frustrated they are playing us. We have been one of the few European teams that leave them frustrated in the competition. Big night at the Bridge coming.

DDA 9,941 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Just woke up to see the news on Sky Sports. My natural reaction was to jump for joy. It's not going to be easy but Barca just makes it feel like a special night of football. Blue Armour and Johnnyeye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Getting a tie against Barcelona is always tough regardless of the situation but there's no need to feel all doom and gloom here just because we lost to West Ham at the weekend. Yes, our squad has its flaws but when we're on it, we can do damage. In some ways, this tie is a free hit for us. Many are expecting Barcelona to go through and we tend to be at our best when we are the underdogs. And let's see what happens come February. Plenty can happen between now and then.

Qarabag - Arsenal Atletico Madrid - Man City Roma - Chelsea Qarabag - Liverpool Now Barcelona - Man United and Man City This is an incredible "coincidence" and obviously a big disadvantage. They seriously wanted to give us as little a chance as possible of retaining that title. 2 in 3 years is enough. 2 in 3, or alternatively 2 in 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too big 625 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 1 hour ago, Johnnyeye said: Good game in perspective, we all wanted Besiktas ( mind you they are a very good side ) but it's not meant to be, to be fair i rather we face Barca than PSG. For some reason this has Messi finally scoring against us written all over it , lets pray not and even if he does, lets hope it doesnt make a difference in the end, anything can happen when the ball is at his feet, still remember that pass for Iniesta to score at the Bridge, damn it Essien, if only you had cleared that... We can give it a good go for old times sake, our clashes vs Barcelona down the years have been classics no doubt, and they will be looking for revenge for 2012. Altough they are not the same team from back then, they have a lot of quality players now, specially the little argentine magician, and you know anything can happen. We are kidding ourselves if we think this Barca side is weaker than in previous years, far from that, if we manage to beat this lot we can beat anyone, no excuses. Lets see how we cope come February, i for one cant wait for this game, it has been long overdue us facing Barca again, i say bring it on and PSG can fuck off for all i care. Cheers and KTBFFH Problem with drawing Besiktas is there's a chance the lads take it too easy, and against a team like that you can get beat. It's why Barca are my preferred choice because I believe the lads will show up against a big club like that, and Conte will have them up for it. We have, for the most part, always shown up in these big CL games. They haven't always gone our way, but we've always shown that fighting spirit to win.
