caseyjones 3,009 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Chelsea doing it in the Nou Camp with 10 men last year was possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen. Fuck ''Barca''.It wasn't the funniest thing that you've ever seen, but you've made your point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 912 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Possibly.It's one of those performances that make me think that I'd like to see Messi perform at a world-class level on a permanent basis from outside of his Catalan comfort zone.

He like so many of the other players just didnt look up for it tonight while Pedro was terrible and I have no idea why he was not subbed at half time.

King Jela 20,016 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 and yet the majority of the posts are aimed at Celtic and not BarcelonaIts strange indeed when people do things like that.

G.E.C. 18,633 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It's strange seeing Barca cricticised for tonight even though they had 72% possession and 26 shots Stats don't always tell the story mind you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,765 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Pedro just fits perfectly into the Barcelona system, despite not being as talented as Alexis Sanchez for example. The runs he makes, his positional sense and his finishing are all huge parts of why he's made it at Barcelona, whereas he might not have at another big club.He was poor tonight though but his performance for Spain in Belarus last week was absolutely sensational. 3 goals (2 dinks) and a back-heeled assist.

chris182 6,186 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I tell you what, Messi better be berating septic's "anti" anti-football...26 attempts at goal, 72% possession. That's horrendous compared to what we achieved over there in '07! They did score I suppose but it was bloody fortunate Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
