Barcelona v MUFC {First Leg} : Official Match Thread 16-02-2023

That S Club Juniors version of Xavi & Iniesta they've got are a right little pair of #@&%!s aren't they

Lewandowski looked about 80 then stood between Gavi and Pedri

We’re just not clinical enough. Don’t score enough goals.

I’m waiting for the obligatory euro ref baffling decision against us

AWB is a catastrophe

Bissaka is doing my head in

He is just having fun out there. It’s as if he is making the game hard for himself on purpose so he can charge around diving into challenges

Amazed the player didn't cry foul after that crunching bastard of a tackle.

Varane is a Rolls Royce

This lot are shit. Get Garnarcho on ffs

Bit more composure and this is there for the taking.

Decent half in general, some clear and painful drop off in quality around the side but hardly playing peak Barca. I’d go so far as to say they’re ordinary. Get Garnacho on & Weggy off and we could comfortably do this lot. Score early and they’ll be ripe for the counter the way they play.

Been the better team. Keep it up. AWB needs to learn to concentrate and just be a bit more aware of surroundings

I haven’t really understood this “rejuvenation” of wan bissaka, he’s a liability in every game he plays. His only attribute is that last minute recovery lunge which usually immediately follows one of his own £#%&! ups.

That aside good half and can’t complain too much. Barca don’t look that great though but you feel they could hit us with one sucker punch.

Get weghorst off and put Rashford through the middle and we’ll win this 3-1.

Decent half. Will be belting for confidence should be in front.

Just not good enough in front of goal so far..

Good half
Went much better than expected however we should be in the lead

You can see the clear weak links in our team when trying to play out from the back in Dave, AWB and Fred

Maybe top of La Liga but this Barca is a pale shadow of the one we meet in two CL finals
Great chance to get our first Nou Camp win

They're there for the taking, this fabled defence isn't up to much either. We'll sneak this, UTFR

Thought we were brilliant going forward, defence in shambles sometimes ..

They're dangerous going forward....

Classic euro game....
.strap in.

Rashford is playing through the middle...
