Woltemade and almost certainly Wissa are done here after tonight, played a rookie and unwell players in front of them, speechless really.

I don’t think Eddies tactics will change too much anyway. Actually think he might go 5 at the back.

Think we might score, it’s at the other end I’m more concerned about. Great that we are still in the tie though unlike spurs and Atalanta

This Barca team are not as good as Man City

More frustrating that we just can’t seem to hold onto leads

So nearly gave ourselves a chance, great performance never the less.

No doubt Liverpool will over turn that next week.

A single wonder goal doesn’t mean he’s deserved a start over Woltemade.

In what world did Howe see enough from Osula against Man City to warrant a start tonight. Hope it’s not another useless performance from him.

I’d argue it should have been bottom of the priority even as holders, if we had gotten through to the quarters / semi then field a team to win it, it’s basics of football management when competing in Europe, all the other sides do it.

So prioritising the league cup this season was not a factor?

And both ecstatic to have joined the football club…

Not me…

Once a rat always a rat

The worrying thing for me is these transfers may have fucked us for years.

To be fair no player really touched the ball with any purpose in that second half

Playing near full strength teams in the early rounds of the league cup and fa cup as a champions league team is ridiculous. It’s the perfect stage to blood youngsters

Agree, this nonsense needs to stop now.

There lies the problem for me

Neigh on impossible and quite frankly naive to think we could compete in 4 competitions with the squad we have and the fact our tactics revolve around high intensity. Not learned a lesson from the last time we were in Europe.

But, but, he scored 19 goals last year…

Potentially the last couple of weeks of a game every few days

Even this rotated side is better than Barca

On paper more realistic but no where near bigger for me. Barca in the Champions league is the pinnacle of football.

Yep, nothing else to say really, Barca won’t be this good
