Dzeko rag dolled that defence all night. Iniesta was a little boy lost and should have been off at half time. Shocking performance that should seen this clown of a manager gone.
 
With a comfortable lead on La Liga key players should have been rested repeatedly. So much energy wasted there. Some of said players should have realized it themselved and demand to be rested(provided EV didn't have the actual last word).

I told my friend at work before tonight we'd lose 3-0, don't know why but it felt like it.

It felt like we'd go there, and try to 'Atleti' them, except we're no good at the Atleti game plan, and never have been.

Aged legs all over, and a manager who was deceived by the system working against poorer opposition.

We are really falling guys and it's time for some really tough Qs to be answered.

Well done to Roma. Great effort.

Now on to the semis where they'll get their asses handed to them 7:0 on aggregate by either Bayern or Real. :pep:

110% EV tactical problems. Shambolic defense and many of you were confident that we could take on the likes of Liverpool or Real. Reformation is much much needed.

Watch Jordi Alba on those first two goals, his attitude says it all. Valverde has usually been good with substitutes but he did nothing all second half when the game was clearly tilted in their favor and he showed absolutely no guts. He seemed overwhelmed by the occasion, first time all season I truly blame him for a defeat.

I hate to say it but unless Real bottle it as well tomorrow, this just went from being one of our best seasons to a failure. Stopping Real in the CL was absolutely priority number 1 for me this season.

Good news is that we didn't lose because our team isn't good enough (watch the last 10 minutes), rather because of the way we approached the game and the tactical decisions (over respecting Roma imo; we should have played with 3 attackers as usual).

We will even have a better team next year with a more mature Dembele and with Coutinho plus the replacement to mister cane white.

It's an absolute crime that Messi has been wasted in this club.

The board and the managers we've had have absolutely ruined this team.

We have been saying it every year since Pep left, and we still haven't learnt our lesson.

You can't blame the players, they are bought/signed/chosen by the board/managers.

If you want someone to blame, blame the cules who have had multiple chances to remove this board and chosen not to.

no crime, messi didn't do anything of note today. the team doesn't owe him shit when he himself doesn't appear to be ultra motivated.

Lets be honest, chelsea did the same thing roma did but they were unlucky, BArca got outplayed in these 2 rounds. Barca is my team but they deserved to go out like that today. Props,to roma.
We will win the league for sure because of our big league but im not sure about copa del rey.
Also, Real Madrid would have wiped the floor with us if we had met in semis or final, i am sure of it and thats why this one stings a bit less because i couldnt take watching RM humiliate us in a champions league final. I have been saying for the past few months barca was winning without playing well.
