Paulinho's playing like he's still in Tottenham.

Semedo is suspended.
Forgot about that

Playing with Paulinho in a game like this is like playing with 10 men tbh. After a good start to the season, he's become the player we were expecting him to be.

Wigan beating City is 'shock of the century'? :lol:

Are people criticizing Sanchez for losing the ball understanding now that it is normal for a creative player to do so. Messi today lost numerous ball but at the same time is one of barça's best player. Trying to create at every turn.

It's boring from Chelsea but I'm not sure there's a better way to beat Barcelona than this.

Barcelona will certainly be wary with Chelsea, not many teams have been as successful against them as Chelsea have been.

Shame Willian's effort didn't go in. This game really needs a goal.

I am not sure we would do any different vs Barcelona at our home.
Absolutely right. Plus we'd have a double decker there, no ordinary bus would do for Barcelona.

Willian is amazing
Incredible how often he was left out of the side earlier in the season.

If a team has got a couple of really good, quick dribblers in the side Barcas pressing can be beaten.

Lewandowski got a yellow because he kicked a midget's head.

It was probably @Pink Moon. But if I bothered to have an opinion, I would have thought the same as simply not many clubs can afford to play any different against Barca.
My bad. Apologize to all parties involved.

Hope Barcelona up the tempo and drain them while keeping the score at nil-nil. This is best I hope for this game as United fan
