Rafinha for Gomes in the second half, surely?

curious to see how iniesta changes things. he could be the match winning sub today. coming in at 70 against a getting-tired madrid midfield.

by Harmonica Sat Dec 03, 2016 4:08 pm

Benz outperformed Suarez like landslide.

Imagine Messi in Fraudnaldos position, doing fck all and having midfield greating everything for him. Laughing

Goals will come second half surely

by Myesyats Sat Dec 03, 2016 4:09 pm

Iniesta will come in and win the game

by RealGunner Sat Dec 03, 2016 4:09 pm

Yea gotta agree with Harmonica on that. Suarez is probably the worst player on the pitch atm.

Iniesta is the key for Barcelona. Will at least get Messi out from the midfield.

Madrid's bench is thin

Iniesta will be forced from the centre if Messi keeps doing what he is doing. I can't understand why Enrique isn't having a go at him. Does this BS every damn Classico. Rakitic and Roberto ending up facing a 3 vs 2 on their flank everytime they get the ball so Barca can't even quickly transition and execute Enriques plan because Messi is walking centrally.

Very good game so far

impressed by the how well Modric, Isco and Kovacic have defended in midfield. Messi hasn't had a chance to thread those balls he likes from midfield because they have barely given him a sniff.

Nerman is such a cry baby, great player but his attitude stinks. He keeps moaning all the time and it's affecting his performance. It's like he wants the Real Madrid players to step aside and let him score :facepalm:

Has there ever been a manager in the last 5-6 years who had the power of doing that lol? Pep tried and now he is bald.

how come that Sky don't show this, actually?

Don't they have the La Liga rights? Why would you not show the season's biggest La Liga game by lightyears if you have the right to show it?

Or did those cheap bastards actually puchase La Liga rights EXCLUDING the clasico?! Laughing

by Bankz Sat Dec 03, 2016 4:17 pm

Isn't it strange how suarez is the only player among MSN/BBC that is somehow immune to criticism

That shitty 3pm rule. No match is allowed to be broadcasted between 3pm to 5:15pm

by Harmonica Sat Dec 03, 2016 4:17 pm

Isn't showing here either on betting site, which shows every other Liga match.

Ah right.

I thought it had to do with Intel aboard(TM) injecting themselves and suddenly demanding 250 extra million $$$ from broadcasters because footage now includes random scenes rendered by like a cheap computer game using that stupid The Matrix effect.

by Hapless_Hans Sat Dec 03, 2016 4:22 pm

Not offside. This referee ffs,

by jibers Sat Dec 03, 2016 4:22 pm

Madrid getting robbed this game. Not offside. SMFH. Modric is a mini cruyff.
