Madrid and Barcelona are not without weaknesses

So stop make it like they are invincible, Both have weaknesses that can be exposed and any quality team could defeat them!

FFS Potential.

I thought you were going to highlight each teams weakness and explain which teams had the best options to exploit thoses weaknesses.
I was expecting some real in-depth analyses.

Not to make this thread go to waste but what are the weakness that can be exploited in Barcelona? Real Madrid is pretty simple to identify but I think some real thought may have to go into describing and outlining Barcelona's real weakness.

The floors yours.

Highlight the weaknesses you feel each team has and who are the best avaliable to exploit them.

Barcelona weakness is Arsenal, so since Arsenal are out of CL, they dont have a weakness any more. :coffee:

That isn't the point he is trying to make (or if he is making a point period). He is saying Real nor Barsa are invincible and can be beaten. The question is what are both teams weaknesses and how can they be exploited.

I think this thread has great potential. Granted the OP was meh, it does leave the floor open for a tactical debate.

What I think he's Trying to say is that Real Madrid and Barca Feel they are invisible, its Obvious from how Real Madrid Fans invovle Madrid in a Thread that involves Barca and Bayern After The Poster Said Bayern and Barca are The best Team in The World.

Real Madrid has Many weakness that has Been exploited Numerus Time by Barca and I dont Need to explan what their weakness is, they are Not just as Good as people try to make Them Look

Sigh, the poster that said Bayern and Barca are the best teams in the world was you Idrisozet. You are talking about yourself.

As for the 2nd part, yes Barcelona has exploited Real Madrid's weaknesses but this isn't about Barcelona, this about other teams against those two. Could the others do what Barcelona has done to Real Madrid effectively? And what about Barcelona?

by Zealous Thu Mar 15, 2012 5:25 pm

Madrid's weakness is that they are too nice. They let the other team have a fair shot at the game.

I think we have a better chance if we employ our thug rugby tactics.

by Swanhends Thu Mar 15, 2012 5:27 pm

If they aren't careful, teams that are anti-football may take advantage of Madrids humility and respectfulness

by izzy Thu Mar 15, 2012 5:27 pm

Madrid's weaknesses IMO stem from two postitions: The Midfield and the fullbacks.

The Fullbacks: Arbeloa is the current fullback and it's very obvious he is a defensive one. He does his job very solidly and rarely gets forward to support the attack which can make Madrid dependent on width to arrive from the left side. This is where Marcelo comes in. Loves to get forward, contributes heavely to the attacking side of the Madrid game but does leave spaces. A LOT OF SPACES. It's fair to say that if he comes up against a winger with pace, expect him to be given a very tough time.

The Midfield: Where to start? Let's link it with the fullback problem. Countless times that Marcelo gets forward, i've seen Xabi drop in-between Ramos and Pepe leaving the midfield so open it's unreal. Xabi's lack of pace ain't helping anyone and the fact that if you pressure him enough he can't really get into his rhythm which makes the whole Real team not operate as fluid as they can. Stopping Xabi from playing can massively hinder Madrid from playing their usual game and this is why I think Mou has asked Ozil to drop deeper at times to help Xabi with the midfield workload and make us less predictable in the center of the pitch.

Well, that's all i'm writing. Stop Xabi, expose the fullback unbalance and hopefully you'll get something from Madrid.

My two cents.

i think its more down to concentration. you see the frequent lapses in con when defending set pieces- we should be really good in them thanks to our height advantage

goals in the latter stages of the match , frequently failing to pick up incoming players...
