CL | Round 2 - E: FC Barcelona - Bayer Leverkusen 2-1

[Kuchi]

Bayer looked comfortable, winning the first half. Freaking Bayer....

 

[dakt]

Just fuck off.

We play like amateurs. Zero confidence and one-dimensional play. We are fucking horrendous.

Suarez and Neymar should be able to pick this level of team apart, yet they are manhandling us.

With Neymar hitting wall of players in order to dribble past them, losing the ball all the time, Suarez lousy first touches and poor passing, Rakitic mistakes, Marc's lousy goal keeping and Mathieu replacing Alba, etc, we are avarage team.

 

[ThwiX]

It will be hard to finish 1st in the group if they can't turn this around. Not to mention our game against Sevilla, which I don't even want to talk about right now in our current form.

 

[Obiaseti]

Rakitic and Iniesta deserve to be on the winning team. Can't say the same for the rest.

 

[Serbian]

I can't come up with anything else than the players being tired. No pressing, no midfield, no defense, no attack... the team is so bad right now. I don't know if it can be complacency too, but the fire from last season isn't there.
Result is fair to Bayer, we completely suck.

I agree, but enrique tactics are awful. He keeps playing a 4-3-3 when he doesnt have the personal, why not switch to a 442?!? Metheu can not play LB how does he not understand it?? alaba has to play! Sergio roberto in for alves!

Saw Dortmund absolutely destroy Leverkusen a couple of weeks back, they got through the pressing and got at a very week defence. Never seen the midfield three give the ball away so much, neymar and Suarez need to impose themselves, sandro will be slaughtered but has done little wrong. Even 10% improvement will win this game.

 

[Kuchi]

Sandro missed two clear goal opportunities. How did more than a little wrong

 

[Flavia]

Rakitic and Iniesta deserve to be on the winning team. Can't say the same for the rest.

Iniesta hasn't been good today.

 

[Deco 20]

Iniesta hasn't been good today.

Neither has Rakitic

The only one that has been decent is Neymar thanks to his late contributions. And maybe Sandro, but apart from those chances he's been too static.

 

[Kuchi]

And Iniesta out with hamstring. Cursed

 

[Flavia]

Well, we're done. I'm happy there's Fifa break coming on.

Is all that due to the bad pre season? Tiring the players with too much travel, for money?

 

[Kuchi]

Definetly the trip to us did not help. Rafinha and Messi were pure bad luck. Iniesta overworked himself, trying to pull the team.

 

[Zincubus]

And Iniesta out with hamstring. Cursed

Maybe a blessing in disguise if Samper steps up to the mark

 

[mdenci]

As far as I can see, we are creating a lot of chances (at least last 10 minutes), but none of the shots are finding the net... Too many chances missed today, and Messi's absence count for today's result... Good thing Roma is losing to BATE...
Also, poor night for Mathieu...

I only hope that we will score any kind of goal, at least to ease our situation...

You spelled Juan Cámara wrong.
