Well at least we had a few moments. Overall we still got schooled, and that's fine, Barca will do that to more than a few teams. We have been in very shaky form and missing key players, considering even at our best this game is a huge challenge, we did admirably to make it something of a contest in the 2nd half. From here we need to conserve our energy and focus on our league form, since the CL run is most likely finished now. It's gonna be a tough season as we are very stretched and a bit dizzy; it will be a massive test of character for us to get a respectable finish this season.

You keep saying that people were glad that we didn’t strengthen in the summer. Who exactly? I recall some being accepting of it, but I don’t think anybody felt it was actually a positive thing.
What because he owned Winks and Wanyama who have played about 4 games each in a year.
Calm the fuck down, we had the reserves out
It was a strange experience this evening. Watching a player I love score twice against the club I love.
Still admired his performance, but it hurt.
For me the game died when Trippier choose to chip it to Sissoko instead of hit it route one to Llorente or Kane.
We are on complete control still, just before that goal.
Personally i think we did great in second half if we can forget about the 2 woodworks Messi hit.
Very very proud at how Winks being so instrumental.
If we had a better game plan, we could maybe get a result.
We've to think about this whole playing from the back thing as it did bad more than it did good.
Idk, the midfield being too static or maybe the attacker doesnt join as much.
We’ll still qualify
I’m not interested. If you haven’t got the fucking testicles to blame Lloris for tonight you’re not worth talking to
As captain and first choice goalkeeper after a 4 weeks injury lay-off?
Didn’t you say our Reserves were good enough not to make any signings all summer?
Embarrassing cunt - you’ve been totally RUINED in your own bullshit. Log off
To the point of not even bothering to try? He had many seconds to get to where Messi instead of letting him score the easiest goal in the CL ever. If he is going to provide the defense the same level of protection as a used condom, then he cant be a CM.
For Europa?
Sorry but what the fook?
Messi hit the post 2x...
Barca had 8 shots on target (+2 posts). We had 5 shots on goal.
We were outplayed today over 90 minutes.
I am not saying this with doom and gloom and hopelesness for the future, but one has to at least try to be smth close to objective. I liked how we fought back in 2nd half. We did not go down without a fight, but that does not change the fact that we were lesser team today unfortunately.
We knew that before the season began, we always leave holes in the team, at some point Levy show some balls and actually back the manager in the market properly.
That being said with what we have they gave everything and showed so much heart in the second half.
I don’t subscribe to the ‘we used to be shite for a while, therefore we will always be shite’ school of thinking. Instead, I think we were on a trajectory towards greatness. Do you remember how good we were this time last year?
The club has settled for an optimum level of return on investment. They don’t give a fuck about winning anything.
Sissoko isn’t a replacement for Eriksen
Different argument
We didn’t lose tonight because of Sissoko
Just look at our full backs and Hugo
That’s why we lost
I don’t want a cunt off with you so let’s just agree to disagree
I’m proud of the way we came back at them with little help from the ref and some of our main players were out
Rather finish bottom and win the FA Cup
And you just know we will face Chelsea in the semi-finals if it will be Europa League.
