    Technically yeah but i’ve always felt that all fouls in the box are not worth a penalty. There’s definitely a level of judgement that should go on there.

    Sevilla pretty dominant but lacking the finishing touch.

    Figured so, they like to outnumber people in the middle (Sarabia/NZonzi/Vasquez or Banega) and with United's recent midfield struggles I felt this would be a struggle for Mou--especially if they get trapped by a high press.

    Thoughts on yesterdays clash?

    1-1 is a fair result. Willian's long range shooting was the ONLY real threat Chelsea provided because of poor cover . Pique in particular was too Solid.

    Problem for Barca was Paulinho simply being technically inferior and our attacks (being against a 11 man defense most of the time) were being broken down by poor touches from him or Suarez. And it was harder to use the wide areas because Bridge is a compact pitch (compared to the Nou camp).

    I don't think the goal we scored is luck, so much as Chelsea being unable to play above their own level for 90 mins. Because while chelsea will get tired from all the horse running, Barca will be Barca for 90+ mins . anybody can throw 11 men behind the ball. If you can't maintain that tightness for 90 Mins then you simply aren't a good enough defensive team to earn a shutout. Pique and Umtiti had to deal with ALOT more and still only conceded 3 good shots from Willian. Messi only needed one. It's just about all round Quality.

    Also who was the Moron that said Kante is better than busquets lol. Busquets was jogging around the pitch while Kante was running his a--- off. Still made more interceptions and tackles than and had like 100+ passes to Kante's 8. And he didn't even break a sweat.

    Prem Midfielders nowadays on average are Garbage compared to La Liga's. Even Washed up shitbag ever Banega was running circles around Utd.

    Prem teams seriously overrated. Only City, Pool and Tot (on thier best day) are any good.

    Compared to the greats Id agree, but they shoudnt be underestimated. chelsea could easily sneak away with the win in the 2nd leg.

    Well yeah it's possible. Just unlikely. I mean apart from playing at home on a more comfortable pitch, Semedo will return and Dembele will be back to full fitness. Barca at home are a different monster

    Nothing is unlikely when two great teams play eachother

    Its not like its City vs Basel or anything. Im also not saying I expect Chelsea to win, but it wont be easy by any means for Barca

    We shall see though, Im looking forward to it

    had a tenner on Utd to win and City/Arsenal to draw at 10/1. Saw the boys smash Chelsea before just hoping for an Arsenal goal.
