Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 14, 2020 Thought I’d give Barca v Bayern a look (see if anyone worth us signing?!), astonishing score of 4-1 to Bayern after just half an hour. That Lewandowski would be a good buy....! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted August 14, 2020 Barcelona defending worse than ours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted August 14, 2020 True, but Bayern look possessed. Messi has barely had a kick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,088 Posted August 14, 2020 Hilarious defending by Barca, just like us. The only other similarity is watching them trying to play out from the back with 3 Bayer strikers closing in. Great game to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,088 Posted August 14, 2020 Also, having tbe quarter finals onwards on neutral grounds and no 2nd leg has made for some cracking games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,232 Posted August 14, 2020 If Farke can get us playing this German way it would be a joy! Superb display, even with Barcelona awful defending they still weren’t out of it at 4-2. I really enjoyed this one off game at a neutral ground, been some very good quarterfinals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rock bus 836 Posted August 14, 2020 Worth picking the bones of the Barcelona team and tempting them to Norfolk? obviously not their defenders though 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoogler 324 Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) What a pale shadow of the Barcelona sides of old this team is. Messi gave up at 3-1. Suarez looked off the pace, except for that dummy for his goal which was sublime. Defensively, Barca rivalled us at times for incompetence. I think Bayern maybe the best side in the world at the moment, but it's hard to judge when your opposition is just that bad. I imagine Catalonia is a very unhappy place to be tonight.

paddycanary 535 Posted August 14, 2020 I would venture to say that even our defending wasn't as shambolic as that Barca performance this evening, certainly pre-Covid. Ball-watching, no one tracking runners, forwards in acres of space. It was fairly pathetic stuff. Reminded me of Germany tearing Brazil a new one in the World Cup when Neymar got pole-axed and Thiago Silva was injured. What a scoreline! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watching the Brazilian team get overly emotional about Neymar getting injured made me hope the Germans tore them apart. And they certainly did that. Every time they went forward in the first half they looked like they were going to score. A wonderful memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
