Very meh performance overall. I think hannibal has gone like 800-900 mins of CL play without a goal now. Midfield play is a real problem for this team. They can’t control tempo & that has a profound ripple effect on the rest of the team’s play.

Roberto should be planted on the right side of the midfield & Semedo should be platooned on the flank right behind him at RB.

There was no presence up front for Barca...

Barca is very very lucky Willian had a love affair with the post today bcs the score could’ve easily been 3-1 if he was more clinical in his finishing.

This team is definitely out of the running to win the CL...This style of play definatel ain’t getting past the semis much less the finals...
 
So now all Chelsea has to do is get a W at the Nou Camp, simple enough right?

Lmao
 
I’m pretty confident we can win 1-0 at the Camp Nou, todays game allleviated some of the anxiety I had about Barca.

Christensen has been so composed on the ball this season too :smh:

Barca has had one game in recent memory where they were ruthless & that was the last Classico.

Since then they’ve been rather toothless. The away goal helps our cause but I can see Chelsea beating Barca at home. Lesser sides have come to Camp Nou & given the team the business.

I’m not feeling Ernesto too much... everybody’s been throwing him kudos bcs of the league play but some of that has been gifted to the team bcs of Madrid’s poor season.
 
should I take you back moons ago when tiki taka reigned and Obama was President?:pimp:

but really I need Christensen to play another big game in between the next time to get his head on straight. but I already know Conte gave him a chat.
 
Tiki taka can work beautifully but you have to use it to get forward. This iteration of Barcelona is obviously well versed but has problems getting forward. Possession is one thing & setting/maintaining tempo is a whole ‘nother aspect this team is poor at. Chelsea was the better side & it took a mistake from Christensen for Barca to tie...

I’ll feel better if Sevilla do the lords work tomorrow & send that dotard back to OT fuming...
 
that pep headline was confusing. I was telling my dad about the "but we had possession" trope/meme. best explanation
 
Great result. I have faith in Chelsea. They are definitely looking much better than last month
 
Interesting list. Never heard of Alban Lafont? United need to get Sessegnon.

And I almost forgot we’ve still got Fosu-Mensah, would like to see us give him a chance next year in the pivot potentially.

I remember that game versus PSG, dude was :pimp: that night
I was not expecting to see Odegaard on the list. I guess I think that he is older than he really is because it seems like it has been so long ago since he's been on the scene.

Lafont is always my go to GK on manger
Just got him :pimp:

Lafont is the French kid who plays keeper for Toulouse. Dude is a wall.

Always gives psg issues

I appreciate how the 2 top prospects in Europe are keepers. And they play in 2 less hyped leagues
