Was Barcelona's swarm tackling puke football?

[BennyHarp]

After watching the game last night I was disgusted how barcelona have runied football. Chasing down the Arsenal players, tackling them in their own half sometimes in packs of 2 and 3, not allowiing the opposition any time on the ball and causing turn over after turn over of possession. This sort of work rate and tackling is has runied the beautiful game for ever. Then to add insult to injury - after getting themselves into a winning position they retreated to protect their lead! Awful, awful stuff - the only phrase i can think of to describe it is - puke football!!

They sat back a bit in second half but for much of it was pure class.. ran rings around Arsenel. Pat Spillane has a lot to answer for... does Arsenel and Kerry expect teams to stand back and admire them?

Lad...
wind ur neck in.
A team who can play magnificent, passing, flowing football whilst also be outstanding in the art of winning the ball back must be commended.
