Just because Sissoko and Poulsen have played well against Barca in the past, for different teams, doesn't mean they'll do it again. First bullshit argument.
No, but it would mean that we have players of the quality required to shut down their midfield and aid our defence, something Bayern obviously do not have. Ze Roberto and Van Bommel are too slow and immobile. A case of Cesc/Gilberto vs Emerson/Vieira.
Just because we'd counterattack Barca doesn't mean they wouldn't punish us just like they did today against Bayern, taking it to our fullbacks. Second bullshit argument.
Even if we would have let 4 in, our chances to score would have been better. That's not something that one can disregard.
Grygera and Molinaro aren't much better than Oddo and Lell, if at all. To think we'd actually do much better than Bayern is foolish.
We would do better and that is not a foolish statement. It's something I base upon our very good record against big sides. Fact: We play our best games when the opposition dominate possession. We play poorly when we have to take control, something which we would not be forced to do against Barcelona.
Our back four would have played higher than Bayern's which would give Barca less time on the ball. Are you watching the game? Bayern are completely open and the distance between their defence and midfield is huge. They're just bending over for Barca.
But yes, I am the realist and you clearly are not. Just look at the teams. Now move along.
Your attempts at patronizing might work when arguing against other forumers but not here, Andy.
