Shakhtar are playing very smart. They know we don't have Iniesta so they're choking up the midfield.

We need to pressure them further up the field in the 2nd half. It took a while for Henry too to get used to it when he joined us, but I admit that comes naturally to Eto'o. I'm sure Pep will say something to Ibra at the break because the early pressure is a vital part of our game. We don't want them to ever get the ball out of their half successfully.

I'm hoping Shakhtar take more risks in the 2nd half though. . .they're goin to have to give it a real go at some point. They're not really parking the bus, they're just doing a good job of keeping us out of their half and without the pressure from our forward line that will continue.

Its no use putting a defender on Zlatan focus more on Messi, Henry and Xavi

Spot on. I would also add Iniesta to that list.

Here is hoping they do come out and have a crack @ barca. I'm not holding my breath though. It seems both Henry and Ibra are looking to play the one two.

Second half is almost on the way. Hoping for a more enjoyable match.

0 -0 1st half.

Hope pep knows wot he is doin. Ibra is now on the wings.

Either Keita comes off for Busquets or Yaya should move into CM. This midfield ain't working

Ibra with his silly fancy tricks .

Absolutely

Our only option now is goin wide and sending crosses in and all those long balls. That isn't our game. We need to find a move the ball around and create chances the Barca way!!

Messi going on one of those mazy runs of his.

Someone should therefore tell IBRA to stay in the middle. Leave those one twos to henry,messi,xavi and yaya.

For F**k sake man, shakhtar should show more ambition. Bwoi that was a nasty tackle on yaya.

Den don break Yaya blokos where is Mukina2??

both teams are being too careful for my liking. I wish there had been an early goal from either team

Look @ iniesta's boyish face. Dem just show am on t.v. Make someone tell Ibra he should stop trying to over impress. KEEP IT SIMPLE jare. Messiiiiiiiiiii,henryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy oh that was close man.

Ibra had a bad game. He'll improve!!

Krayon,

Waiting for the verdict on Ibrahimoflop. Another BIG game. Zlatan at his flopping best.

When did Barca turn to this . Hardly any pronounced pressure or dangerous move by the attack.

Messi and Henry must be missing their PARTNER IN CRIME!!! Samuel Etoo

How did this Shaktar team win the UEFA cup, they are so poor!
