The ref hates to see Barca not win this one

If only we had Stassin for this.

Ure can’t help in counters to save his life. Only in holding up a bit… But not enough

I am going to be honest… Whilst he ain’t exactly Kanoute, YEN or even Luuk De Jong for that matter… I don’t think Robbie Ure is as bad as you make him out to be Shend mate. :sweat_smile:

The amount of fouls on our players. Has any Barca player even been booked yet?

It will be extremely, universally difficult to keep up this pace in the second half.

I’m afraid the moment we take the foot of the gas pedal Barca will begin the ā€˜humiliation ritual’ as usual.

It’s a pity we didn’t get more than a 1-1 score in the first half, but that’s still quite good against this Barca.

Correia had the exact same situation like Rafinha but there was no Sangante slip there but a clever Rodri :laughing:

Should have banged it first time.

Ure has been decent to be fare.

In comparison with the 4-1 win last season, which proved to be a fluke afterwards. This time we are playing like a ā€˜big club’. No sneaky tactics, just pure toe to toe football and fierce fighting.

It’s hard to keep this up, but kudos to LGP for the tactics and approach as well as to all the players regardless.

Barca couldn’t do much this half, but the next 45 mins are all to play for.

Depends on what.

If we look at hold up play and physical duties, decent but only at times. Many times especially in the first 20-25 mins he lost a lot of balls and was out of touch with the rest.

If we look at counters and offering a passing option up front when things got fast, and they got fast and quick a lot of times thanks to the clever tactics, he offered practically 0 help there.

So all in all a good performance, but I’m willing to bet nothing that Ibra Sow wouldn’t be able to provide.

Just want to reply now @ halftime because statistically it seems unlikely we can keep this up…

But wow!!! What an incredible all-around first half, and Sevilla has played extraordinarily well, maybe slightly better than Barca overall. Every single player has added tremendous value.

Also love that the ref has let everyone play.

Fofana > Gudelj + Sow
The difference in class is so obvious.
Correia obvious upgrade in LW as well.
Though just like Shendm said it’s pretty much impossible to keep this pressing and crazy running in 2nd half.

Thought we played really well in that first half. Hopefully we can keep it going!

As for Fofana. UNREAL in the midfield. A different class.

Felix did well also. Great cross for the goal.

I don’t have to say anything about Ure. His performance speaks louder than any word. So far not good enough. Later? Who knows

Not sure how we lost the ball there and allowed Barca to counter.

The tiredness is clearly showing in the second half.

We need Isaac, Guridi, Ejuke and Diaz if we want to keep playing without getting humiliated

@ChrisLail anything for the insult of @NavasGOTT

Or do I have to fly to Germany next week and talk to him ?
