Inter are just running through our midfield with no resistance.


Well, we play handball and lose silly balls (Roberto, Semedo and Suarez especially) - and defend those lost balls with 3 turtles. Not too shocking we look bad.
 
maybe the best thing that can happen to us is to be eliminated from this CL as soon as possible.
Hopefully we can concentrate on la liga and maybe try to win it .

Inter usually have a forward who holds the ball, and then passes it off to another who is making a run behind our slow ass CBs.

we are a fucking shambles, should be 3/4-0 down already

Pique-Lenglet partnership really is looking like dumb and dumber, slow and slower. Semedo offers nothing going forward, Busi can barely even move let alone run for a ball, Bob is doing Bob things, Messi nowhere near fit.. Suarez is donkey mode. Griezmann invisible

Nah, the dynamics can change quite fast. Normally the group stage is show boating for big teams, but its survival now. KO rounds are always winnable - even with Valverde.

The reason why we are losing this game has very little to do with the quality of our squad, and everything to do with the lack of leadership and game plan that Valverde brings to his team. The players look lost, as if they haven’t studied their opponent and just went into the game thinking that they could wing it.

Conte is a brilliant coach because he instills confidence in his players, a can do attitude, with every players having a clear objective and knowing his role. They showed up prepared. He’s clearly learned a thing or two since he last faced us with Chelsea. With that said, I wouldn’t want Barcelona to play defensive minded football, but that’s where he excels. Kudos to Inter and Conte. On paper, we are the far superior team, but that means very little with Retardo in charge.

Watching LFC play is 10x more entertaining. Their two fullbacks are more dangerous than our front three combined at the moment. The only threat we've had is when Messi gets the ball, gets immediately closed in by 4 players then lays off a pass if he can squeeze it through. The problem is once he does that, zero players are making runs. Not Suarez, not our fullbacks, our CMs are occupying space at the top of the box and Griezman is isolated on LW. Just total shambles of a system and tactics.

well, this game in the midfield and in the build up, fast passing is one of the better ones from us in this season. we had only weak 2 shots on goal, but I have seen worse games from Barca in the last month.

I won't judge any players until EV is fired.

I still believe the reason no players are making run is because they are told not to.

There is no way every professional players turns into statues under our team.
