It's not necessary to play fluid football to grind results though. We don't need to look any further than Mourinho. Valverde is not completely clueless, he wouldn't be getting results if he were. He has a certain system that has been for the most part successful results wise. The issue is that...

Nasser has built the most efficient meme machine I've ever seen. Carefully takes in money at one end and converts it promptly into high-quality meme without fail. Can't wait to see what new ways they find to capitulate next season.

Uninspiring yet adequate. Can't fault him when it comes to results so far this season. Now that we've come this far, might as well see it through. You do you Ernie. Park the bus if need be, and bring home that CL.

We can't underestimate Liverpool. If we give them chances like the ones we gave in the first 15 mins they will definitely capitalize. We will need a higher level of intensity facing them. We can definitely do it but we have to play at a higher level than this round.

One of our shrewdest transfers. Guy's a machine.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry too much about the celebration. If this helps him cope and find his form again, by all means, I hope he keeps doing this. Bottom line is he needs to find his form again and start chipping in with goals and assists. Today was a step forward.

BT sport commentary after the smalling assault was cringeworthy. Dirty player.

MOTM today for me

It was kind of sad to see us struggling to beat their press to be honest because generally that is considered our biggest strength. Problem is to beat the press you need: 1) Clean passing 2) Good first touch/ball control 3) Synchronized movement 1 was off with almost all of our players today. I...

God awful today. Worst I've seen him I think. What happened to him? He used to be untouchable on the ball a few years back. Today he was a straight up liability. Our worst player on the pitch in my opinion. Needs to sort his stuff out.

This sounds like canned stuff he's been instructed to say by his agent so that they have some bargaining power. So far, the media picture painted has pretty much had him reveal his hand with the Barca/De Jong/Ajax links. If this went on we'd have the clear upper hand come negotiation time. It...

Such a Suarez thing to do. Misses the easy ones and then scores that. Glad to see his general play has improved greatly over the last couple of games. If he starts scoring again we're in great shape for the business end of the season.

You won't be alone in that. He's one of those rare players that reveals how football can be more art than sport. Sadly I don't think we'll see another in our lifetimes at least.

He was flawless today. This guys unforced error rate is Xaviestaesque. It's insane that we were even allowed to land him for that cheap.

I enjoyed the Messi Ronaldo media rivalry as much as anyone else but putting banter side the real tragedy would be if we never get to witness Leo and Ronaldo in the same team. That would be something else. I hope somehow that happens perhaps for a charity event even if it's only in their late 30s.

PSG doing a PSG. They are a meme team at this point. Much nicer to see united in the CL anyway.

He's the best Busi replacement. What remains is the attacking mid position. Doesn't look like Coutinho can do it. For next season I want to see a mid 3 of Raki, Arthur and DeJong with Alena potentially sharing minutes with Rakitic.

It feels so strange to say but this was one of the best defensive performances I've seen from this club. Hopefully, we stay solid at the back for the remainder of the season. That being said I do hope we improve in attack. On more than one occasion I noticed that we would defend a wave of...

With him in the line up both Rakitic and Busquets perform better. That's his biggest contribution in my opinion. At this point, he doesn't even need to do anything flashy. If Rakitic and Busquets hit that extra gear we're good to go for this season.

The entire defense was a wall today. And he was leading them. Great game from him.
