Utter garbage. First half was bad, no authority, sloppy passing, no urgency and the successful passes fell on deaf play that crawled to a slow with no impact. Messi was none existent. Pedro & Alba doing my head in with rubbish crosses. Yeah they parked it and put the entire team behind the ball and it really is worrying that we don't have a solution to break through that kind of play as it's the oppositions go to tactic against us. We should have figured a way other than pass it around, look for an opening and trying to drag players out of position; not going to happen when the defense communicates and is well disciplined.
Ref had a bad game too and some fouls warranted yellow's. The hand to Messi's face is a blatant red, no argument, simple red card decision. Don't care if Messi made a meal of it it's a straight red, it's unacceptable and the referee should know better. Guarantee if that was Penaldo, it would have been a red to the offending player and a penalty awarded.
The second half wasn't much better, in fact it was worse. Malaga came out with hunger and Barça looked lost with no creativity, no build up and timid at the back as they hoofed it away. Only a couple of squeaky bum hole moments but otherwise I worry about that line up at the back.
Inability to finish and too scared to shoot, a fair few shots on goal but only Piqué's header was on target but that was ruled as a foul anyway.
Oh and the pitch was pathetic!
