Well that would have been a penalty and a red card at the other end.
Mistakes have cost us again but pleased with the fight
Agreed. Would have at least been a foul outside the area, I'm sure of that. But we needed to be more clinical going forward (and a hint of luck for that free kick) and more to the point not make silly mistakes at the back. Hate to say it, but I can't help thinking it'd be 1-0 with an on form De Gea in goal. One nearpost & one through the legs... not good.Mistakes have cost us again but pleased with the fight
Can't complain with the way we've approached the game though; we had them under real pressure for extended periods of the game. Barca was always going to be a tough draw.

As a neutral I have to say Barcelona’s theatrical diving is right up there with Juventus.
We were told it was experience, I call it cheating, but they are very good at it. Bitey and Messi are some of the worst culprits too. Any contact at all and they both fall over like they’ve been hacked down.

Absolutely and I'm glad we've gone out and had a go this evening. That little bit of luck has been missing in both games with Willian cracking the post twice as well. Hopefully we can push on and get 4th in the league but I doubt it.Can't complain with the way we've approached the game though; we had them under real pressure for extended periods of the game.

They've done it for years. Cheats. We were told it was experience, I call it cheating, but they are very good at it. Bitey and Messi are some of the worst culprits too. Any contact at all and they both fall over like they’ve been hacked down.
