It’s naive to think the same tactics would work at Nou Camp.  We don’t have the quality or stamina to get it off 

This team defiantly doesn’t have the quality once the stamina goes

The second half performance and scoreline is definitely a bit embarrassing like, it's daft to dig people out for saying that. We're playing a very good Barcelona team but its not their Xavi, Messi and Iniesta side. 

 

There's no point being in the Champions League if we have the mentality of thinking conceding 7 soft goals is alright because of who the opposition are. 

Aye. It’s an ugly end to what has been a great campaign.

Look on the bright side, Tino's never getting his move to Man City if they've watched this second half showing from him.

Another example of a sub being clamoured for that makes us worse as well. :lol:

Such a shame that we end up with a scoreline equally as bad as other EPL teams considering the the first 3 quarters of the match. 

 

I stopped watching at 5 (I'm watching The Orville, it's very good). Did the sub keepers as a piss take or was Garcia injured?

Sooooo many soft goals we’ve given away tonight. Eddie’s man to man plan blown out of the water this 2nd half, far too much for Barca to work with and once our heads dropped a bit they’ve just taken greater advantage. Hard to stomach this 2nd half performance.
 

Final thought for the night, Yamal is a proper obnoxious cunt.

All-in-all...a team saturated with elite footballers had a spell of utter flow. I don't think there was a major change, or anything particular. They're just riddled with the best of the best, and always capable of doing this. 

The lads just need to focus on the home game on Sunday. We've had an excellent campaign, considering who we are.

Elanga with 2 good goals gives me hope. Still proud of the boys. BDB to whip them up for Sunday and we take revenge ! 

We're not playing Barca on Sunday... 😅

They came out in the second half and went through gears we simply don't possess. We didn't cover ourselves in glory with how we played in the second half but they're quality going forward and if you give them time and space then you're going to get fucking whipped. Thats exactly what's happened tonight, we've had our bare arse handed to us on a plate by a far superior team. We just need to take it on the chin, learn lessons and move on. It's been a horrific night, no need to start slagging players or managers, it happens, it's brutal but accept it and move on. It's only one game
