Reckless and wasteful in possession, gaping holes in defence - shocker. Why has Bellerin bombed forward away at Barca with the ball in our half on the other side of the pitch? Why do our full backs think they have this unlimited licence?

Sums it all up that it provoked half a celebration and Luis Enrique sat on the bench grinning and laughing with his staff. We are here tonight and in this competition generally to make up the numbers. I've only had it on for 3 or 4 minutes and already they've been in behind twice and had a completely free header off a corner despite playing at 30% intensity.

I'm going to turn it off and hope it ends up at least 6.

I know Kos has some fans on here, but he’s just as much a plie of muck as the other CBs we have. Doesn’t turn away from every single shot (I’m looking at you, Per), but he is so prone to monstrous brainfarts it’s untrue.

Why the shit do we try and play the ball out of defence so often? I've lost count of the amount of goals we've shipped this season doing it.

The difference between us going 1 up when Welbeck kicks the ball against his own fucking foot and the split second it takes for Neymar to slot it home.

Koscielny needs to be replaced.
I actually laughed when I saw welbeck hit his own foot and then thought from wrighty to bergkamp to henry to rvp and now we have the 3 fukin stooges as strikers :roll:

Who is the other commentator on BT? He seems gob smacked that we are playing so slack and not pressing for the ball. He hasn't watched us enough, cos we do that every match.

I truly believe that Barca's fans and the Catalan press will consider it an embarrassment if they don't beat us by 4 or 5, at least, tonight. :oops:

I totally agree with you. He can be good, but he does foul up.

I know we've been taking the piss the whole week but this is very sad, I feel like crying. Imagine what it must be like on that field, chasing shadows who are engaged in nothing more than a kick about. WHATEVER happens next season I hope we don't play in the CL. This is humiliating.
