Copa Semi Final 2: Barca - Atlético 3-0

[Barcaman]

All out attack nothing to lose Flickball

Exactly my thoughts. For once we're in a position where we have nothing to lose. Think team handles pressure pretty well and thus all those comebacks (record?) under Flick but still.... Should go in enjoy the night and just do their best.

Lewa is injured for this game

L

That's a bummer!
No miracle then...me thinks.

 

[Andresito]

4 goals is a lot in reality. Even 0-2 would be hard to turn around.

The number of goals increases but the mind still thinks it's possible. I think this thread wouldn't be much different even if it was 0-2 or even 0-5 from first leg.

 

[draconifire]

We are winning this bois.
no worries.

 

[JohnN]

As fans, we should be expexting team to givee 110% for this one. It's up to flick to decide the approach ofcourse, but throwing the game is shamefull, no matter the possible fatigue.
Now, we have an even bigger advantage in the league, so we can rest some players against the mister before Newcastle.

Does 750 cover the whole area? Or is it just a temporary number

Should be just a temporary number, as long as they still don't have the license to open this section (for whatever reason) and the club will be seating them on the side tonight.

The official section covered under blankets has around 1200 seats, which is pathetic enough since we'll be having the largest stadium in Europe. But it is what it is. Greed and politics saw to that I assume. "Make the section too big and they can become a problem for the current board" is probably the thinking of Laporta. And there is also the money reason, as the animation seats are heavily discounted.

 

[Barcaman]

They are only back because it's elections. Laporta is pretending to clean, cook,cheer as a regular fan, drives a tractor.

He would eat a turd probably too of it would mean more votes.

I think we all wound want our version of Dortmund's yellow wall but that would be artificial if anything.

I don't think the stadium is missing people that want to sing as we can hear now and then.

Penyas and travelling supporters are doing a great job of making their voices heard at away games. Would guess those attend the home games too.

It's just that there is no organization of when to sing what and I think Grada Animacion, even if low in numbers, can at least get a couple of thousand people around the stadium to sing same chant together, rather than them doing all the heavy lifting for 90 mins.
We'll see how it works tonight.

The thing about flick ball is we could easily score 5 goals, so it's not completely over.

The thing about flickball is any team can score at least two against us.

So it's pretty close to being over.

5% chance of a comeback, maybe 10%.

More like 0,005, maybe 0,010%

Simeone just doesn't lose eliminations when he has a lead from the first leg.

 

[Temptation]

Think Barca will win but it won't be enough

Your defense is way too weak to keep them at zero while playing like lunatics

We're gonna give it a go though.

Being La Copa this is basically the lowest pressure remontada ever.

Game is going to be a fun spectacle, and if we can go into half time a couple in front, then it may very well turn into a magical evening.

Almost as magical as an Arse anal in the corner or a Brent Ford throw in. Almost.

 

[Barcaman]

We will win surely.

Whatever happens it will be another valuable experience for some of our youngsters going into eliminatory matches of Champions League.

 

[FC B]

Wasted energy for nothing, and key starters risked as well, for a tiny chance in a domestic cup. Always the same huge energy expenditure for second tier competitions. And now, at 0–4, it truly makes no sense anymore.

And then people wonder about injuries and chronic fatigue, just like last season in the key moments toward the end, when the important titles are won or lost.
