It's embarrassing. Especially now later in the game when we are playing with way more starters than Livepool and still can't do shit.

Just one week before we play Sevilla with Sampaoli.

Wish that we wouldn't just sell Vermaelen, but Mathieu too. Absolutely useless piece of old and worn out crap, now even on CB. And make Marlon our 4th CB instead, the kid's got promise. See that Arda is planning on being the same old lazy bitch that he's been so far...first takes a dreadful lazy pass to allow the counter, and then even more worrysome, doesn't even bother to fucking track back and at least try to right his mistake..instead he just jogs back like he's on vacation, meanwhile Liverpool go and score from his mistake. Shocking. Bravo is decreasing lightly, but consistently too, saw that from the start of Copa, when he conceded some shockers and now it continues...i think his age is finally getting to him. That's why MATS must be our 1st choice GK starting this season in any case.

Anyway, a welcome reality check and a serious kick in the ass before things start to get serious next week. Hoping that this is a blessing in disguise.

WTF...Hope it's just because it was a friendly.Judging by last year's disasters,the players will wake up,but you can never be sure...At least the people claiming that we will easily win the treble will finally shut up for a while

the thing about these losses is that it can take you out of rhythm, hopefully the team doesn't go on consecutive bad performances imo

That was embarrassing. At least Digne looked good. The rb spot needs a better player. Alves left some huge shoes to fill, and I don't feel bob or Vidal will be enough. Not addressing this now will be a huge mistake.

Turan looks like he's already checked out. Complete laziness and lack of heart.

Vidal is going to be a big problem for us this season. Roberto will not be an acceptable replacement either at RB.

Mathieu. Mental slowness and sloppiness. He's fast in a big distance, but his mental state and feet aren't. When heavily pressured he's an issue, and I don't quite understand how Vermaelen is much worse, and is being sold.

Busquets knows his mistake, very rare from him. He normally does that little 'jink' to create space and it comes off, but he got exposed today.

Messi (while I am NOT over-reacting as most do) annoys me at times with his laziness too. Again, I understand the whole, ''he's not expending needless energy etc etc.'' He was dispossessed a few times today and didn't do a lot after to work back, and was forcing that in behind pass to our LB, especially Digne. He's the least of our worries, and he'll be back to GOAT soon, no doubt.

I liked the look of Digne, and Rakitic is such a great midfielder, you only see his presence in a game like this. We haven't yet put our best 11 together, and are still without 1-2. Hopefully we'll see a few guys complete 90 minutes in the Gamper.
