Watching a carbon copy right now -Barca 90% possession and 1-0 down from the one counter that Betis have had. Missing Messi clearly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think they even registered a shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be the ones going all out and we'll need to be switched on at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never, ever seen that tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a completely different game than today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,932 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The hardest thing in football is to get the ball in the back of the net so I'm grateful for that cracking free kick today. If it takes a set piece to beat a team that parks it then I'm happy to take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will defo look to hit us on the break but they won't be pressing us in our half or playing with their fullbacks pushed on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it plenty of times on here the one thing Walter and Wee Dick (and Eck to an extent) had that most of the recent managers never had was the luxury of one or two players who could produce a bit of magic to break the deadlock in tight games.

Never, ever seen that tbh. I still do not understand why we packed the midfield and ended up with 3 defensive midfielders and 1 upfront after we went ahead. celtic would have done the opposite and added to their goal difference. In the end it was far tighter than it should have been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,844 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 In the end, we all want to see attractive football but today's subs ( Davis & King ) were done to shore up the 3 points. The gaffer is learning every single day ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing Messi clearly. I’ve just been at the Barca game. Literally sitting in KFC on La Rambla. And it’s true, Barca were struggling to break them down first half and things just weren’t falling for them in the box. But they came out 2nd like a team possessed, speeded up the passing/directness and voila, blew them away. Was something else to see in the flesh. And that was them without Messi, Suarez and Dembele... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
