Isn't Frimpong the one who's always making fun of Arsenal when they lose? My kinda guy.

It is an interesting accent. I can't put my finger on it either, but it sounds almost like someone who picked up English as a second language.

Pep must be the most stubborn coach on planet earth. Why the fuck would he play 3 at the back against the most on-fire front three maybe ever? On what planet is that a good idea?

He lost the plot in the first leg vs. Porto, and luckily his team took advantage of Porto's suspensions and the atmosphere at the Allianz to get past that. Then he goes and does this. If it weren't for Neuer, this game is 6-0.

They've done well on the return leg in the last two rounds, but it's hard to bet on being able to put up a big pile on Barcelona like they did with Shakhtar and Porto.

I think Barca's unstoppable right now regardless but playing 3 at the back Pep was asking for it, especially without RiRo to cause Barca problems on the wings.
