    Oh and watching Bruno fluff that chance at the start, I'll say it again - if Rashford aint scoring then we aint scoring.

    It's a real problem for the rest of the season.

    This is Barcelona, the team of the moment in Europe, the team that are eight points clear at the top of La Liga with Real Madrid in second place. This isn't Watford or Sunderland, see it for what it is and don't be too harsh if we don't come away with a win. To be going toe to toe with Barca is no mean feat.

    The same Barca who were abysmal in the Europy group stages.

    I wouldn't mind if we actually were going toe to toe with them but I don't think we are. I won't be too bothered if we lose, but we can play better than this.

    Poor first half. Not exactly new this season. The second half can only be better.

    You have to be on the wind up here.
    Weghorst is a very hard working player who helps out all over the pitch. No, he isn't anything like a striker who would be good enough for us but has good movement and pulls defenders away from those who can score.

    Yep it's what ETH is exceptional at, ways up what needs changing tactically and usually makes the right changes at half time.
    It's also notable how many of our substitutes have scored when sent on this season, watch out for Antony tonight :emoticon-0100-smile

    I hope you're right, he's just taken AWB off for Dalot :bandit:

    Could he have kept both on?

    Hard to see the reason in that sub, Obi Wan has been miles better than Dalot so far this season.

    It's bcos Antony aint right footed and he wants someone getting down the line and crossing it in.

    Fair play, I'd forgotten about Ronaldo.
