cosmicway 1,333 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Look all this anti-Hazard is sh*t talk. He's the only one who can use the ball and create. When Moses or Alonso are in possession we pray for a simple straight pass to another blues player. I don't care if he did not find himself at the end of a scoring chance tonight. The bridge game was -unhappily- sold by Christensen. Tonight's was sold by Tibot. Even if we had held to the secure 1-0 at the bridge, given Tibot's horrible antics tonight we d' be out. If a youth appeared to the juniors team and conceded one like Barca's first, they 'd send him back to his mum and dad the same hour. For Morata (and Baka) we 've been through many times. Waste of money of the century. Sevchenko too was a flop 10 years ago, but he at least was admired all over the continent when he came to us. Morata was the substitute of the substitute.

Even pep will not advance with our squad today No one is talking about advancing. Of course ddefensive individual mistakes are not his fault but he has a LOT of the blame. Conte is to blame for the way we approached the game in the 1st leg. He's mostly to blame for our terrrible season. In the 1st leg we have 25% possession at home and a couple of speculative long distance shots and so many people have been deluded into believing that was a great performance. Conte even said it was almost perfect. He needs to be sacked for his shit mentality and negative, dour football. He basically deflated the team after the City debacle.

We basically lost the game at Stamford Bridge. We should have used the same approach in this game at Stamford Bridge but Conte was in awe of Barcelona and was telling us we're going to have to "suffer". At home. Even with the attacking approach today, we didn't exactly create many clear cut chances, did we? Looked more dangerous yes but think we only had like 1-2 shots inside the box. It's all ifs and buts now but this leg would have been different had we gotten some luck with one of those shots or Christensen didn't press the self destruct button in the first leg.

If we were down 2-0 at home, it is practically over. Our plan in the 1st leg was almost perfect before Christensen mistake. Sorry? I have to disagree with you my friend. It's 10 times harder to get a positive result against Barcelona at Stamford Bridge than at the Nou Camp. They barely left 2nd gear and beat us 3-0.Let's not forget Barcelona were not really that special at SB but how many times did we commit men to the attack or high press them? Only sparingly. Sadly you've been decieved by Conte's post match propaganda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfcs most wanted 657 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Of course a better wingback could have scored, a better midfielder could have put in better passes, a better striker could have made more chances, we don't have that stuff though, instead of just whining about the result, appreciate the team for putting in everything they had, running for every ball. You can't expect a player to increase his qualities but you can ask them to put in the hard work and the team did exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrenshah 186 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We are facing multiple problems in the team right now in each and every position - Tibo is looking shaky and nowhere near the worlds best keeper that we claim him to be, he is not going anywhere near that madrid team after a performance like that - Rudiger and anreas playing together is disastrous, need someone solid and experienced back there - Fabregas is gifting goals from the 2 man midfield role whenever he plays - Both our strikers are not top class We need a complete squad overhaul if we want even a whiff at pl or the europa league trophy next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that takes some doing but if I'm going to be critical, what's the point of looking threatening if we don't even have the end product? It's like watching Arsenal play us years ago - play attacking football but become brain dead in final third and we just pick them off on the counter. Pretty much the same thing happened.

But I stick to the goalie's performance. A match in which Peter Czech became an all time hero, and he performed like a circus clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm done for the night Jason. This is incredibly frustrating and depressing. Shit shit season. The board and the manager need to take a long long look at themselves. Right now the future of the club looks far from bright. We're a horribly run club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly you've been decieved by Conte's post match propaganda. It is true that getting a result at nou camp is extremely difficult but if we open up too much we will give Messi too much space. Yes, it is just one player but not any player. I watched barca game 5 times this season including 2 against us and they all the same. This barca team look pedestrian but no team dare to open up against them, the moment you do that you give Messi space to play and you can see red flag everywhere.

WNDS 502 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Decent display over the two legs; we were better than the aggregate scoreline would suggest at any rate (and better than quite a few of the other teams that were knocked-out alongside us). But this Barcelona side are just so clinical. Given that both Real Madrid AND Juventus have gone to the Camp Nou this season and lost in similar fashion, I don't think that there's any shame in going out this way. It's pretty obvious that our problems lie primarily with Fabregas' complete lack of mobility (Bakayoko's sheer rawness compounds this issue in a big way), and the lack of a pacy, world-class wing-back. If we can sort these issues out, then I'll be pretty optimistic going into next season. It's also worth considering an upgrade at centre-forward if Morata doesn't start to show signs of becoming the player we thought we'd signed. As for Courtois....., I just don't know..... He's a better keeper than he's been showing himself to be at times this season, but I don't think that he wants to be here and I'm not sure he ever wanted to be.
