CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

[Jaguar]

No.

I said in other topic.
We lost the same as today, more or less 7-8 times in the last 12 seasons.

That's typical Barca:
-- you win in one season, and then you play with half of the strength

When we wake up, it is already 80th minute of the 2nd match.
Classical Barca.

You'll get used to it over time.
This surely wasn't the first nor the last CL defeat of this kind.

Our mentality...

Having watched Barca for 12 years now I know how it is, I know our mentality has it's major downs like tonight, but even for our usual standards this is just extremely poor and unacceptable, and it's not just tonight we've gone completely abysmal. There's a number of factors to blame, our mentality is simply just one of them, major fatigue and no bench are clearly two of them.

So disappointed with theur attitude...absolutely nothing? How is that possible...

Poor, it is the right word. The most importqnt period of the season and we look like utter sh!t, as if Messi is dreaming about his millions in the Panama affairs, Neymar thinking about his 300 ex-girlfriends and Suarez about his appointmenst with his dentist. They should all be benched. BUT we still have La liga, i swear if they dont grow some ballz i wont watch nexy season, after all these years of not missing any match my heart ist working as it used to. Keep your heads up lads, though mine is hanging low atm.

I don't know about you guys but I am absolutely terrified for this weekend.

If Valencia get their revenge on us this weekend, our humiliation will be complete.

I think players will be angry at themselves and give everything to bounce back.

Too much complacency and passiveness and no bit of motivation to run, fight, put effort, score, defend and freaking win the back to back CL.... Plus tiredness mental and physical and a stupid transfer ban that made our squad impossible thin throughout the whole season. Did you see what shitty bench we had? It was an absolute joke !

 

[Cule For Life]

Enrique better the Pep tactically doe lol

Anyways not surprised we've been about average since Arsenal and nothing was done to fix this.

I'm not going to entirely put this on Enrique as I know we lack depth and players were burn out. Attitude tho was unacceptable.

 

[Chomutov]

Can't believe how bad we were. What the fuck did Messi do there on the pitch? Not running, not even walking...STANDING! Come on. That was ridiculous. Atletico, fully deserved win. Passion at its best. Great performance!

That first half was a horror show. Lucho was completely out managed. With all the talent on hand, he only knows one way to play and he has been found out.

Btw roberto should play on rw from now on fuck off with alves. Thanks for everything but he is horrible

I've been saying for the last 2 years how bad Alves is, and normally I'm accused of trolling/banned. The difference on the right wing area with Roberto was staggering. Normally our possession/attacks end once Alves gets the ball in an advanced position, Roberto has shown he can make himself a threat as well as recycle the ball to maintain the attack/pressure.

Angry at themselves? Bro we've been saying every game we do shit in, which is the last 4 games, we've completely broken down, won't be surprised if we slip up again. If we win expect us to barely scrape one.

I agree, a young full back who can cross the ball would really helped us tonight. Alves has been amazing for 8 years but I think his weaknesses are hurting us now and his strengths are fading.

If they weren't angry at themselves for a humiliating performance in the Cruyff Memorial Clasico then I don't necessarily know if they will be angry enough to bounce back after today.

It is a shame that we have not paid a proper tribute and homage to Johan since he passed. Sheer pathetic performances in the last two weeks.

We badly need a convincing win this Sunday against Valencia. Otherwise this team should just get disbanded.

I know, but historically we usually bounce back very well after we are out of CL. I hope this will happen this time as well. And players might feel less pressure now that they know that they don't need to play SF and can concentrate on La Liga.

Yeah, we don't know what is going through the minds of these millionaire players, but they haven't shown any remorse or fire after losing the Clasico, maybe with the exception of just 25 minutes or so in the second half of the first leg against Atletico.

They might not bounce back at all. They might not think like we do.
