The game I saw had Vermaelen responsible for at least one of the Barca goals. But yeah, when he wasnt single handedly doing his best to get us beat, he was very good, if that makes sense?!

We held a flat back line and TV went walkabout towards the center. Ibra made a run to TV's vacated position between Song and Clichy and that was that. Almunia ultimatey made the mistake of coming to early, but it all came from Vermaelen headless move forward. 1 - 0 and all our good work ruined.

He'd get a 3 in my rating. Denilson was very good and would have got a 7.75 if we're doing decimals.

They played us off the park, Simple.

For the first 45mins it was like watching a sunday league park team (Arsenal) We coulnt make a simple pass and for some poor finishing and a few good saves we were very lucky to go into half time 0-0

But to then come from 2-0 down showed some great fight.

Just a shame that SO many of our players bottled it and didnt turn up.

the main problem is that our players had too much respect for Barca's players in the game,they were afraid of them and that influenced on the lack of the aggressiveness in our play and that was fatal!I think we showed our real face in last 20 minutes and showed we can play against them,the main problem was on psychological plan and that was the segment in which we failed!if we had Cesc on the field and just 5 more minutes I am sure we would won that game
