The Barcelona Thread

Holly shit, what a miss by Betis striker, totally one on one with Valdez and no Barca DF at all, but he ****ing missed it, still dont know how he missed it.

Messi is playing but invisible.

OMG OLIVIERA YOU IDIOT!!! he was COMPLETELY 1 on 1 with VALDES and rolled it into his hands. how can you call yourself brazilian!? i know it looks way easier than it actually is but he is a brazilian striker how can he miss that? that would have put the game away for sure but lucky barca get lucky again.

for gods sake play POSSESSION BETIS! THATS how you beat barca. how can they score when you have the ball? do that instead of rushing a counterattack or throwing the long ball away! once the barca players press you THEN quickly pass up and rush an attack against the small number of defenders!

ricardo is casillas in disguise.

damn cabron scored. according to history this was 99.99% bound to happen but this time i actually had a feeling it wouldnt. oh well a draw is not that bad either.

This is what happens if a team goes to DF and just do bekesh ziresh.
They could've easily won this game, well it's not finish yet but...

how freaking lucky is barca? real madrids ridiculous injuries en route to a 12 point barca lead show up again RIGHT when barca drop points and we had the perfect chance to reduce it to 10 points.

you reek of bias dude. first you said lets see how you do without robben when robben, guti, and sneijder are all out. which is equivalent to messi, xavi, and henry being out for barca.

then you say barca was missing marquez and puyol and say guardiola took a "gamble" as if it was a b team or something. wow you were missing 2 defenders big deal.

as for cabron, i gotta admit he is good. after ronaldo, him and henry have been the best strikers of recent time.

We posted at the same time. I didn't even see your article about Guti, Sneijder, Robben...all I knew was that Robben will be missing.

It was a huge gamble because he rested so many internationals while playing Real Betis away which has proven to be a bogey team.

How does my post "reek" of bias?

You should be glad Raul and Higuain aren't national team quality and will be well rested for Gijon.

Messi, Henry, Yaya Toure, Marquez, Gudjohnsen all played for their respective national teams and were rested.

Marquez & Toure were missed today big time.

messi and henry played over 30 minutes so they dont count. toures replacement was keita. world of difference. thats like lass missing a game and gago replacing him and us complaining. gudjohnsen you said before he was not a starter, now that its in your favour you say he is. same with marquez. and you were missing puyol il give you that. fact is you were missing a couple of players but this was pretty much your full strength team and NO way was it a b team.

Do you realize you're the only one even mentioning B team!? You have a hard time reading posts correctly?

Obviously you don't know crap about Keita & Yaya Toure. Keita is not a DM like Yaya. Just because they're both black doesn't mean they do the same job out their in the midfield. Keita is more of a box to box midfielder whereas Toure is an absolute destroyer who plays right in front of the defense. There's a huge difference in class between Yaya & Keita...Keita hasn't been able to replicate his Sevilla form while Yaya has established himself as one of the best DMs in the game, he's up there with De Rossi.

Marquez is a starter, he didn't play last league match because he was suspended.

And Messi & Henry playing over 30 minutes today doesn't change the fact they were being rested.
