CL Round 5: Barca - Porto 2-1

[Gnidrologist]

Usual crap. No buildup. Pedri is out of the game and we fish for flukes in attack, while defense falling apart under every semi decent attack by Porto.

least rag doll stayed off the ground

Rag doll?

 

[soul24rage]

if we actually come 2nd in this group...

Been a entertaining game so far but both sides are going to be cannon fodder for the teams getting to the latter stages.

 

[Neeraj]

Absolute mediocre team from Portugal and this team giving us an evenly matched dog fight with them. But then again, what else did we expect?

 

[Behrox]

So when do we think Xavi subs on Oriol Romeu? Before or after min 70?

easy 60 min sub

 

[JamDav1982]

There is no shape or control from either side really.

It is a free for all that have to hope Barcas better individual quality can win it.

All of them? Even maybe Galata, Lazio etc?

 

[Andresito]

Gundo not really providing anything in buildup, defence or attack. Bit in no man's land tactically.

yes

Can't lie I didn't even notice he was on the pitch until I read your post.

 

[serghei]

yes

Even so. Still better than Liverpool that didn't even make it to groups.

Or United and Chelsea.

Gonna see how far the team goes this season.

 

[ZenI]

Our attack:

Brazilian donkey
Polish tractor
Portugese pushover

more like Polish plow

Wouldn't fancy Barca to get a result in Istanbul currently, no. But both of those teams can be added to the list with Porto and Barca that will be soundly beaten by the better sides getting to semi's.
