These officials are treating Barca like princesses.
European refs are always pressured to give the big teams the benefit of doubts me feels. Anything not sure, just give it to the bigger teams. Just tonight is too fucking obvious.

Second goal really knocked the stuffing out of us. We weren't doing too badly to that point.

As much as it pains me to say, time has run out for Winks for me. Yes, he showed great promise and that Bernabeu game was awesome, but he just hasn't progressed since (regressed even). Just a passenger. Wanyama was great in the 2016/17 season in a combo with Dembele, but hasn't been the same since his injury. Are his legs gone?

Massive intent needed in the transfer window(s) to rectify this very obvious Achilles' heel.

Ref is a joke - like Barca need help with dodgy decisions! I'd put Llorente on up top with Kane and just play long ball football. If we try and play them at tikka-takka football with Winks and Wanyama in CM we'll lose 5-0.

Barca are amazing. But we are making comfortable for them.

If we dont buy a centre midfielder in January, then i will just give up. We have been crying out for quality there for years. We have to get a proper ball playing midfielder in January even if it means paying over the odds. I actually think we need a defensive midfielder too but someome that can pass has to be a priority.

This I completely agree with. Yeah, they are better than us. But the officials are acting ridiculously, and the Barca players know it. That last bit of showmanship shenanigans from Messi after Trippier stepped in front of him was just embarrassing.
