Benfica away is massive. I wouldn't have thought Lenny will have budgeted any points against barca, even at home, and we are expecting benfica to beat spartak at home. That would mean a defeat to benfica would see us eliminated.

In years gone by, that game would be a definately loose, however we have been very good on the road in Europe under Lenny, so we will go into that game with every chance. However, with expectation comes more pressure, this group really is wide open in terms of 2nd place

look at the game tonight it was 5 barca players only, that held 9 of our players in and would not let us out of our own box. why cant you not see this, yet feel as if we where cheated out of something. papering over cracks is not what i want
ill give credit if we have a go but i can assure you all it took all 9 of our guys to hold of, or get in the way of, because had there been any less defending we would have been looking at a 5 going on 6 of a defeat, so there is no need for going over the top with our play we just have to live with what we have, and come January as to what, and who we have to sell. at this minute in time we are miles of the pace. will we get a run in this cup, I do not think so sorry. we are where we are for now. do we need to build a team, yes but can we hold onto what we have, I dont think so, we are a going to be a selling club

I'm going out on a limb and guessing English is not your first language. Anyway your right we are a selling club but so what? If it works for us and keeps producing teams like this one, then who cares?

I don't believe we need a draw at home against Barca. If we lose that and Benfica beat Spartik. The table will look like this...

Barca.......12p
Benfica.....4P
Celtic.......4
Spartik.....3

A draw at Benfica isn't out of the question. which would leave equal on points going into the last game, where they would be going to Barcelona and we have to beat Spartik at home. 4pts is all that's needed

You may be right But football is a cruel game and five points would be more comfortable

Some teams go there and dont even leave anyone up front. Like Chelski. We also brought on an attacking player in Commons. Ffs mate we were playing the best team of all time. Take a bit of heart from the game.

The way i see it is Benfica HAVE to take 6points from there next to games(at home to us and Spartik). If they only take 4 point that would leave then on 5 points with them going to Barca and us at home to Spartik and only a point behind

It was 10 vs 10 mate, don't kid yourself

Who said we were cheated, we're disappointed.

ill give credit if we have a go but i can assure you all it took all 9 of our guys to hold of, or get in the way of, because had there been any less defending we would have been looking at a 5 going on 6 of a defeat,

No, we were looking at a 2-1 defeat, which we unfortunately succumbed to

so there is no need for going over the top with our play we just have to live with what we have, and come January as to what, and who we have to sell. at this minute in time we are miles of the pace. will we get a run in this cup, I do not think so sorry. we are where we are for now. do we need to build a team, yes but can we hold onto what we have, I dont think so, we are a going to be a selling club

Need a translation please

Looks good on paper, however Spartak are a £100M team, lets not kid ourselves here, and they were down to ten men against us. It will take a monumental effort to qualify, and luck may be the deciding factor.

Man are you ever happy? How many teams in the last few years have gone to the Nou Camp and been humped 3,4,5-0? Every team that goes there is subject to the same as what we got tonight. If you don't have anything positive to say about that performance considering the massive gulf in budgets/spending between the two teams, then you are incredibly hard to please.

Piqué is expected back within a week...Puyol is 1-2 weeks away - he's always difficult to pin down as he routinely returns earlier than expected
