We took our chances and punished Barca for their mistakes. However, we did have some luck through out the match. With that being said, we contained them a hell of a lot better than I expected to and we played better defensively than I thought we would.
Everybody who is saying that Barca won't score 2 goals at Anfield needs their head checked.
Could you see Arsenal beating us 3-1 at Anfield or 6-3? Could you f#ck. Could you see Benfica beating us 0-2 at Anfield too? Could you f#ck.
Could you see us losing 3-1 at Anfield against Barca a couple of years ago? Could you f#ck.
While this win should be enjoyed we should do some with some perspective. This isn't any team, this is the defending La Liga and Champions League Champions who have destroyed teams in the past [as our captain pointed out after the game].
It just too good to be true and maybe I'm being too negative but football is a b!tch at times.
Many were expecting that we would get our asses handed to us at the Nou Camp and that didn't happen. Now those same two faced f#cks are saying that Barca can't score at Anfield.
B#llocks. True we've kept out Chelsea and Juventus out at Anfield in this very competition, but Barca are on another level.
Absolutely spot on.
If anything, the result we gained in Barcelona may come back to haunt us - if we sit back and try to protect the lead, we're absolutely f*cked.
Agree, and I'm sure that Rafa was thinking about it as soon as the final whistle blew.
We can't afford to sit back but we can't attack them too much either. They will naturally go forward more than they would want as they need the goals, we will look to exploit their back four at the break.
However, if they pressure us for long periods of time we're going to struggle.
I hope Rafa makes sure that we don't get complacent at Anfield, otherwise this result will be bitter sweet.
Btw Lando, are we related by any chance? We seem to agree with one another more than anyone else. You could be my fat brother
