Fair enough, was just making conversation - it’s 9:30am and the working day has started so I’m not filled with the sensible amount of alcohol and adrenaline that these situations normally require

That’s alright, we’ve conceded three in pretty much every home game since then and they needed a stoppage time penalty to break their duck

Got it absolutely bang-on. I also think it takes real bollocks to drop Woltemade and Wissa for this game - it’s an admission that they haven’t been right. I’m willing to bet his reaction to not being professional at the end and running the ball to the corner was the same as the rest of us.

Superb today. Just fucking immense.

There is, same as with the cartel (minus Spurs). There’s every chance we go there next week and get a result. I don’t think we should be writing it off.

I was responding to someone talking about Barcelona not being as good as Man City, just adding that there’s a hell of a gap between the leagues. Playing Barca in 1997 felt like coming up against a giant - this doesn’t have that edge to it.

I am pleased with the performance - but I don’t think Barcelona are the best side we’ve played this week.

Given the freedom of the pitch to operate, grafted his bollocks off, from a technical aspect no difference

Canny little player this lad

I thought he was on a par with Hall and Joelinton as our best performer tonight

We’ve still got half a chance at the Nou Camp - though while this isn’t a vintage Barcelona team, they’ll be better than they were tonight

It would make a hell of difference. With even a good CF we would’ve been taking a comfortable lead back to their place. I thought Osula did a decent job, mind you - but he’s not at that level.

And La Liga isn’t anywhere near as good as the PL, too. Folks like the old ‘wage bill dictates where you should be’ narrative - in La Liga, our wage bill would comfortably be the 4th highest - and it’s pretty much on a par with Atletico’s in 3rd. This wasn’t Hartlepool vs Brazil ‘70.

I think our time-wasting sub in stoppage time was responsible for adding on those extra few seconds tbf

Yep, just stupid by Gordon at the end - for all of his ‘elite mentality’ pish, that was daft

It’s not bad luck if it keeps happening

It’s shite from Thiaw, you’ll never get a more blatant penalty

Absolutely fucking stupid

It was genuinely 60 seconds ahead of me

Thanks, the future man

I didn’t think they were any great shakes earlier in the season tbh

Come on, just one of these chances to drop

Bastard!

Ooooof Murphy lad, got to do better

He’d have scored, though
