barca and madrid loss but CR winning ballon dor

Why are people blaming pitches?

The pitch sucks, but it's there. If you are better, you will win regardless.

So Barca doesn't play a single first team midfielder (WC midfielders at that) for "1" game and all of a sudden, they've abandoned their philosophy?

And sadly enough, this thread is 3 pages long.

Little wonder I'm so harsh when I come on here, the stupidity here on goal-legacy is truly unmatched, unparalleled.

As dnmac pointed out the pitch was awful and there was no way we could play as fluidly as we normally do.
But we still tried to play our game and it even cost us a goal with a Valdes error.
We dont play anti football.We are not Stoke.We are Johan Cruyff's team and no matter what,we always play the game THE ONLY WAY it should be played.
I guess the criticism comes with the territory of being the greatest team to have played the game.
Even a minor slip up is seen as a victory by other teams.
LOL at Stoke teams celebrating.Classic small team mentality.
Its gotten so desperate for them after Barca repeatedly play Stoke off the park,that if the game is even for once they think they dominated.
As I said classic small team mentality.

bad pitch only applies to barca. for osasuna it was heavens playground- easiest pitch to play on.

conspiracy theory solved @zeal

to be honest, i didnt mind barca alot, used to not hate them during ronaldinho times... but then some ppl after all the titles got really arrogant and showed off and i changed too

but i hate United MUCH more

For the first time in a Liga game this season, no Barcelona player made more than 100 passes yesterday #fcblive Most: Alves 82 [via fcb.cat]

What 20+ years philosophy?

They certainly weren't playing like this in the Rijkaard era or under Van Gaal.

Stop making shit up.

What's your point?

I think that is self explanatory, but for the slowest minds. The logic in the point was, turf not really good for passing.

The commentator last night said that the pitch favoured osasuna because of the way they were playing and that they are more used to it than barca :/

Oh and +10000 jiopsi

The pitch can not be used as an excuse for an average team to stop the so-called "greatest team of all time".

Injuries can, though.

Bad pitch = bad for short passes and good for parking the bus = barca not at their best and good for osasuna.

plus osasuna were clinical yesterday, they had 4 chances and scored 3 while were not.

but thats not just why we played like shit in the first half last night, its was just one of the reasons why..

I hope you know this is a picture of one of the 6 yards ares not the entire pitch, and I don't think Braca played alone on that pitch.

anyway OT, have they abandoned their 20 years policy hmmmmmm, lets wait and see its still too early, but if Guardiola leaves on bad terms and at least one of their "STARS" is blamed for the bad season, and the fans start asking for Cex and/or Messi's head, then I would say no they haven't abounded their historical strategy.
