Most teams either a) have a shot at goal or b) pump it into the box hoping that someone gets a head on it.
They simply played it along the ground at an angle to a player who then flicked it across and they nearly scored. I often think even teams at our level could try different things at free kicks instead of the predictable.

I can't think of any team in the Premiership who would have done any better and it shows how successful playing it on the deck with short passes to feet can be.
I'm not expecting anything like that in terms of quality and skill from our lads this coming season, but if we can play it on the deck for sustain periods in a game we know that we can outclass many if not most other teams in our Division.

Got to agree with you here CC. Tonight Barca had only one 'proper' defender in Pique. Against the best team in England that is outrageous. I hope Jimbo does try to play it on the deck, however, his personal style was often to hump it high and wide?black morse wrote:Certainly agree with this...Barca were awesome in accuracy and speed of passing. All their forwards were prepared to take a man on and they showed how effective taking the game to the opposition is....points that our team could take on board, albeit to a much lesser degree.

I did say to a much lesser degree! As you say...same principles, that's all I was trying to say. How often last season did we take the lead only to sit back and take the pressureoff the opposition?

Sad, very sad!
Could it be that you are jealous of their success earned over the years by an excellent man manager and motivator?
