Not happy with the performance.
Were pushed back for large periods of the second half by freaking Chelsea. No positional play whatsoever.
At times Dembele was playing parallel to Roberto.

I think at some point a decision has to be made. We cant play Messi and Suarez and our natural 4-3-3. Not unless we have a freak of nature like Alves at RB and Roberto is not that.

Sergi is a liability on defense.

Dembele's position was horrific. This guys has a lot to learn from Sauraz and team where to stand and how to position oneself for the ball between the defenders.

The midfield was null and there was barely any creativity. Iniesta did some magic but other then that it was boring 'keep the possession' and let messi iniesta take the ball forward. But i guess this is what EV have told them to do.

We were under pressure but I thought this was one of those performance we have become much more used to and better at, absorbing pressure for long periods and actually defending well, and glad to see that side of us improved a lot. Sure its not what we prefer to see, but games like these are bound to happen, and we were also lucky as well.... but with Messi on fire and generally most of the players did well, so Im happy. Hope this continues to build our momemtum and confidence. Who knows if we get a good draw we are in the freakin semis with a real chance at the trophy again.

Valverde is a weird man. When Semedo looked like best RB in the world he benched him and he never got a chance again. Instead he plays gomes who never showed any brilliance like semedo
