RocktheCasbah I only saw the highlights but I thought this too. Same with us. We get in that position and I think we sit back and try to defend. Dortmund continued to go at them, shows a lot of heart and the team’s mentality. Impressive stuff.

Barcelona captain Xavi also had little sympathy for the Holland striker. He said: 'Van Persie had already lost it in the first half with me because we did not kick the ball out, then we kicked it out. Things got heated and in the second half the referee was just applying the rules.

'If the referee blows the whistle and you shoot then it is a card. He already had one yellow so he had to go.'

Meatwad when a toddler gets no discipline he will become a brat and end up in trouble by school age. Similarly due to Barca buying CL refs when Xavi was a player he is unaccustomed to not getting every call his way so he doesn't know how to handle it gracefully as a manager.

The Barca fans in general are getting an all mighty humbling at the moment. They hounded Dembele and now they're upset because he's gloating at them. When he missed that chance against Liverpool he got ridiculous amounts of abuse over it. They have been run into the ground by the previous regime and expecting some kind of miracles to turn it around and compete with R.Madrid.

Seen a few of them on Twitter and feels like all their shortcomings usually get blamed on Frenkie and Ter Stegan! Those are another two they are determined to hound out. One of them we'll happily take....

Coombs Barcelona seem set on destroying all their youth players. Pedri, Fati, Gavi, all immensely talented and have been run into the ground.

That being said, they should definitely play their best players in a CL quarterfinal, and Yamal and Cubarsi are the best they've got. They should just manage their workload much better.

Yep, the 2000s Barcelona team were much more protective with their youth. The likes of Xavi and Iniesta only became regulars after their 20s.

it should be a violation of labor laws to play a 16 yr old like yamal 40+ la liga and champions league games.

Claudius

Coombs emotionally. Lots of reasons why I don’t do sports betting

Clrnc

JazzG I will take both tbf...

banduan those self-proclaimed "tacticos" are hilarious. The most (?) infamous Arsenal one hates Ødegaard and thinks we should bench him against Bayern:

Mirth

QuincyAbeyie fuck Twitter's new algo that pushed him to my consciousness. Worst thing Musk ever did.

QuincyAbeyie

Mirth I initially blocked him, but it's become a guilty pleasure to go onto his profile and see what bullshit he's come up with. 😆

Claudius

Can we please ban that AI chap here. Here’s either a troll or spam.

Clrnc

Claudius his nickname is not called noncething for no reason

Burnwinter

Clrnc United are really the graveyard for attackers. Unreal how good Sancho looked again once he left United.

Yeah ... and ten Hag's just cracked down on Garnacho over some social media bullshit as well. He's a special leader.

Clrnc

I mean we played Cesc similar amount of matches no?

It's actually testament to the quality of their academy that after Messi left and the whole team got disbanded, half of their first XI are academy players again.

Coombs

Clrnc it's a testament to their predatory nature and gross financial mismanagement.

Meatwad

Clrnc
no, cesc's similar age season was the 2003-04 season when he had 3 league cup appearances.

at that age a year is a big difference.

Claudius

Clrnc it also speaks to their financial issues. They have really big limitations. If they could, they would’ve filled those places with overpaid fools the way Sanllehi and others did. They’re intoxicated by spending.

A good example is Chelsea. They had one of the best academy classes same time Saka and co came through. All of them are scattered across the four corners of the earth now
