[Hichkas]

Petr Cech

Ramos - Puyol - Terry - Cole

Nekounam

Arshavin - Lampard - Ribery

Eto - Ibrahimovich

Puyol is not a LB, but whenever he plays in that position, he is superb
and with this line up there is no need for defensive mids, this team will thrash every opponent 10-0 based on thier current form

[radin119]

would Barca have been able to do double over Chelsea and United without Messi and/or Eto'o ?

[nimster22]

would Barca have been able to do double over Chelsea and United without Messi and/or Eto'o ?

If you consider Torres to be better than Eto'o, then he probably would have, wouldn't he?

That is, would Guardiola be able to do the double over Chelsea and United with Torres and Gerrard?

Irrelevent question anyway... why does the best manager have to be from the biggest teams? There are better managers out there doing a lot more with a lot less. O'neill for example.

Well, It's not about winning games.
It's about winning championships.

if you want to get technical, would liverpool even be close to 2nd place in epl without torres and gerrard?

Torres was out for 3 months (October- December)
Gerrard was out for 2 months (February, April)

and we're still 2nd...no points of bashing anybody, but
FACT: every team has 2-3 players which are really important to them, so you can't call any team a 2 man team
examples : POOL: Torres, Gerrard
UTD: Rooney, Ronaldo
Chelsea: Lampard, Terry
Arsenal: Fabregas, RVP
Barca: Messi, Xavi
RM: Casillas, Heguain


plus, we all know that EPL is much better and more competitive that anyother league in the world including La liga

well that was my point..every team has a few players that are crucial for them..your posts seemed like you thought guardiola didnt deserve coach of the year because he was using messi and etoo..like you thought barca are cheating by using messi and eto'o..i've never called liverpool a 2man team, no team is a 2man team (well maybe LA galaxy when they had beckham lol)

btw spanish league > english league
just look at the "top teams" in la liga..real, barca, at madrid, villareal, valencia, sevilla

in comparision, england only has four team..the same four teams every year lol
