Why are you bringing me into this Mourinho thing? I have absolutely nothing to do with it.
And yes, I will use half’s as an example because this current Barcelona pats itself on the back for better possession and passing stats over 90 mins against a defensive, counter attacking team that had the better of the game for a whole 45 minutes. What comes next? Yay, we had more possession than Eibar...
And City did have a swashbuckling attacking performance against Chelsea. Nearly 80% of the ball, 900 passes against a team that parked the biggest bus I’ve seen in a long time and yet they fashioned just 2 shots less on target in total and 3 overall than us who played against a team that opened up in the second half.
That game against a Juventus was a spineless performance for lack of a better word. Messi or not, we managed a grand total of 1 shot on target over 90 minutes as opposed to 3 from Juventus despite having 65% possession. You call it a controlled game while I call it a performance bereft of any audacity. It’s the type of game Bilbao would play.
Chelsea barely even 'parked the bus' v Man City they walked about looking not interested for most part.
Barca created more v one of in form teams in Europe.
The game against Juve away in a game a draw suited Barca and rested Messi was not 'spineless' in the slightest. Barca controlled the game and were the better side.
You have been saying all season how shit Barca are and cant seem to handle still winning games.
