Pizy 18,984 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Their goal felt like a gut punch. Cant be too upset considering Barca's only goal came from a mistake from us. None of us expected it to be so close. We're not out of this yet. No way can we play with the false 9 at the Camp Nou, though. They wouldn't have been expecting it today but will be ready for it next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're lucky they weren't playing Liverpool/Man City tonight or it could have been ugly. Barcelona played poor only because Chelsea didn't let them do what they can do best. Determination on max from all our players and fighting for every ball, exactly what is needed in this kind of matches. I am really proud from the boys, good match from all of them and from Conte, shame some of the fans called off the game when they saw the false 9 formation. Really stupid mistake and we gifted them such a crucial goal, from nothing. Really a big shame and I am sure players will be disappointed from that after such a solid performances. Hope the luck will be with Chelsea in the second leg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been solid for most of the season but has made some costly errors in the Champions League - the home game vs Roma comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same. A huge performance is required in Spain. That's it was a blow. If they'd scored just on the off been okay but such a moment from us.. If we had strikers we could be taken every chance.. Oh well. We didn't lose so did more then thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmin 2,484 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Seems like mission impossible on Nou Camp, but I am telling you: if there is one club on this planet that can make it there after drawing 1-1 at home, then it's us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Haven't watched much of Barcelona this season but based on this game, how on earth have they lost only once all season? Unimaginative in possession, everything was going through Messi and so many aging as well as slow players in the side. Not beating them tonight is a big opportunity missed.

Probably because, unlike us, everyone they play in La Liga other than Real Madrid and Atleti are scared shitless of them. They go behind and Barca just blow them away.

FabHazard 655 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Result felt like sucker punch...We deserved to win....Very costly mistake by christensen...Both rudiger and christensen did not deal the long ball properly..Cesc would have got that pass if he had pace Camp nou is very difficult place with wide pitch..We cannot defend all the time there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have said it multiple times before this game, this is not the same barca. I was shocked watching them against eibar n madrid. They looked so poor yet they won both games. Having said that, they have Coutinho and Dembele on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
