3-0.
Ejuke injured with a hamstring injury, non-contact. Could this day get worse?
I was going to predict that weeks back, it was inevitable, to much thrust for the human body.
Lokonga for Ejuke, means that Peque on the left, pretty much garbage time already.
Letās see how (bad) Pimientaās tactic perform without Ejuke in coming 2 months.
Afirmative
We actually started quite well in the first 20 mins but the floodgates opened after the soft pen. To make matters worse, one of our best players is now injured.
Just hoping it doesnāt get too embarrassing for us in the second half.
Tactically we play similar but Barca is smarter defensively, giving us real troubles keeping hold of the ball all over the pitch but also giving us space behind for counter attacks. Itās evident that they have way more individual class at their disposal at every single position, and we are not enough of a team to collectively counter that.
Mr Pepper adds Sambi just for damage control. Ya se rindieron. Game is over.
We started well but since the penalty we capitulated. Sadly it damage limitation now. It going to be a long 2nd half.
Thatās me done for tonight. What is the point of just hoofing hopeful balls up the pitch only for it to come straight back at you?
How many times has Nyland hoofed it out of play?
Ejuke injured is an awful blow. He been one of our best players in attack. All we need now is Lukebakio to get injured and we in a crisis. Letās pray for no more injuries or things to get any worse
Think we need to be realistic and not overreact too much from one game. Getting a result away against Barca was always going to be a tall order and itās not needed to achieve our goals. Iām not overly surprised considering weāve not won away there since 2002.
Generally itās been a lot better in recent games and we have made a relatively solid start to the season in contrast to the last two seasons.
Confident we can get results in the games against teams more our level.
Hope to see a better contest in midfield with Sambi helping out. Agoume is not sure enough on his play and gets hounded. Our attacks die as quickly as they begin.
Ok iāve seen this one too many timesā¦ Nyland really doesnāt like coming out to stop breakaways. I usually give him the benefit of the doubt ā as weāre not always privy to his positioning ā but this happens often. GKs donāt even play that deep anymore. Cāmon man!
Now Suso injured. Gets worse.
You just had to askā¦
On the brightside, 20+ mins for Idumbo!
4-0
4-1. Well taken goal from Idumbo.
Stanis!
