Sat 23rd February

Home game vs Sevilla 3 days before the cup clasico return leg. Would like to see:

Valdes
Alves - Pique - Masche - Adriano
Thiago - Busi - Cesc
Alexis - Messi - Tello

I would like to see Song used instead of Busi, Tello in RW with Villa on LW
Montoya should one day get mintues, along with Barta

Song, Tello, Villa Montoya and also Barta please get a go. I'm tired of these players not having a run...

just 3 days after the milan game...should be hard...

It's a tricky game because being between 2 very hard fixtures means you have to rotate a fair amount, but at the same time you can't put together a makeshift backline or it will be a disaster as Sevilla are no scrub.

-----------------Valdes
----Montoya--Pique--Barta--Adriano
-----------------Song
----------Thiago-----Cesc/Iniesta
--Tello----------Messi--------Villa/Sanchez

is a very good team against Sevilla, wouldn't' say they are scrub, although I would sub out Messi after we score to rest him vs Madrid along with Pique
Worst thing can happen is we'll be 13 pts ahead of Madrid rather then 16
plus we really really need to rotate our bench team and not risk injuries.

I'm guessing that Iniesta will be playing on the wing against Madrid which I am hoping Roura won't because we know how that turned out last time.

--------------Valdes-----------------
Montoya--Pique--Barta--Adriano--
-----------------Song---------------
-------Thiago--------------Cesc----
--Tello---------Messi-----------Villa

If Villa will start then take him off for Alexis. Mascherano on for Pique and possibly even streghtening the midfield with Iniesta or Xavi in case we are struggling...

Hoping that Xavi doesn't start after completing a full 90 minutes against AC.
--------------Song-----------------
-------Thiago----------Iniesta----
---Tello-------Messi-------Villa----

take off Iniesta and Villa during the match for the sake of having a chance of winning this against Mehrid.

What are the odds of an Abidal appearance late in the 2nd half (in case we're winning)?

I do not expect to see Abidal even on the bench until we are mathematically guaranteed La Liga.

I don't know. Just read an article on Sport expecting him to get a short cameo tonight.

Would be cool to see Abidal get a few mins. Would be awesome for team spirit as well.

Team needs to focus on winning 3-0 every match from now until Milan lol

-villa-------messi------alexis---

----cesc------------xavi----

----------busquets------

alba----masc---pique----alves


same old from clueless Roura.

Kondogbia is the one to watch on Sevilla....

-----Villa---------Messi---------Sanchez
------------Iniesta---Thigoat
-------------------Song
Montoya--Masch--Pique--Dani Alves
-------------------Valdes
confirmed lineup glad we are rotating a little more, still messi shouldn't of started he needs to be rested.

why is that useless *bleep* (cesc) being rested?

I really miss the injury prone Arsenal cesc

clearly we are sticking to Iniesta on the wing and Cesc on his spot
aka we are bound to lose everything but la liga this season.

Well, WTF? WTF happened to this team. I think there is only one variable changed. Tito is not here. The defense never worked, but we could score while he was here. Now we are like toothless lion. We have presence (aka we pass to death), but we cant do shit.

How has our team gone from being the best team in the world to a bunch of scrubs, in less than a week ?


Judging from the rate of our downfall, we'll be lucky to even win la liga imo

Barca need a coach real quick.

Any suggestions folks ?

---------- Messi------

Dat Penetration
Dat Physical presence in the box

This false 9 rubbish doesn't work against teams who park the bus,today is further proof of this.

Buy a striker ffs,Cavani or Falcao would be my choice.Sanchez is trash,get him out of here!

Messi to City this summer

Imagine today we played this front 6 insted:


----------------Cavani-----------

-----Villa-------Messi-------Pedro

------------Song-------Iniesta

That team would make much more chances.

One shot on target.

False 9 FTW!

Villa moves up front,Messi behind him as a number 10.And look what happens......Villa scores a header now that we actually have a striker in the box.

Feeling pretty smug right now....That's just proved me right and there's nothing anyone here can say.
