With regards to our lack of clean sheets, I read an interview with Pep last night and he said that earning a clean sheet is something that it is only obsessed about in the UK, while in Spain and Germany its about creating chances and scoring goals. I'm with him on that. I'm happy to concede in every game if we are scoring 5 or 6 at the other end! At our current rate we are on course for 145 league goals this season! That must be a british record at least! COYBIG.

Not everything the wonderful Pep says is correct. All great teams are built on a solid defence.

the best attacking teams will concede imo LM, the best football I've seen celtic play was the great man Tommy Burns team, his team always conceded too, newcastle under keegan etc, give me a 4-3 anyday of the week than a boring 1-0.

The British record I believe is 134 goals scored in season 1960/ 1961 by Plymouth or Portsmouth can't remember now I only read it 10 mins ago too lol.

Tommy won one trophy in his time at celtic (keegan won zilch) where you/ would you be happy with that.

{Ed007's Note - If clean sheets aren't important then why the hell did Man City spend £32 million on Otamendi and £47.5 million on John Stones? Yet another contradiction from the fraud that is Guardiola.}

DRB i never mentioned trophies i said that i would rather play all out attack than playing defensive minded football to grind results out bud.

Maybe he bought these players because he thought they were great players?

Scoring goals is important but so is keeping it tight at the back.
Both us and city scored 3 goal mid week. That should enough to win any game.
Same as the caly game we score 2 we should win the game.
Clean sheets are important.

I don't know why he bought Stones, as he doesn't play him often . On match of the day last season, someone described Stones as the best centre half in the world .

Every manager whose team has just kept a clean sheet will tell u how important they are .
Every manager whose team has won 4-2 will tell u they are not over concerned with a clean sheet as long as they won.

{Ed007's Note - It was certainly important for us today.}

Ed, why do u think pep is a fraud? Is it because he has walked into some of the best teams in the world without workin his way up the managerial ladder? Or is it sumfin else?

{Ed007's Note - He couldn't fail at Barca, he took Bayern back the way and now he's at a Club with a bottomless pit of money, what has he actually done to deserve the plaudits he gets and lauded as one of the best coaches in the game?
He's also involved in the doping in Spain up to his neck and he himself only had his own ban from during time playing in Italy overturned in 2009 in what was no more than dodgy football politics to keep his squeaky clean image intact.}

True, that Barcelona team could win wifoot a manager, I knew you would have more info on him ie the doping. i didn't know that. cheers mate.

{Ed007's Note - I think the Barca team just now is far better than Pep's was, that extreme tiki-taka was monotonous and predictable to watch for my liking.}

No doubt when you only score one goal a clean sheet is invaluable .

I think you might be right about the current Barcelona team being the best.
