Christ.. did you see what Gila did right before he took the shot? He was standing with his back towards the goal, with two Barca defenders trying to take the ball off of him, and still he managed to turn around with the ball and get a shot in. I'd say that's a pretty good acheivement.

Fact is, Gila got very little support last night, and so did Sheva. Barca man-marked Pirlo and Kaka, so there wasn't much creativity in our midfield. For a striker to score, he needs good passes from the other team members. And those were non-existent last night.

If we're going to point fingers at players who missed great scoring opportunities, then we should begin with Ambrosini, who could have equalized right at the end.
