Just leave Keita on bench...

Im always wary of this team since that 4-3 we got at the calderon in 08/09. When they had Aguero, I feared them more than Real Madrid

Now they have Falcao.

I don't see Falcao being able to do what Aguero did to us

Falcao can do damage though. I could see them draw against you or win if your bad form continues

They are not Levante

Bad form? Ask Osasuna about our form

haha bad form?

its called bad luck.. We were better than both ACMilan & Valencia we deserve to win in both matches, but this is football, u can't win all matches.. u need some luck & we didn't have in these matches..

Well, I still don't think you are playing at your 100%. Whatever, I still think Atletico could get somewhere

Courtois FTW

Valencia should have been 3-1 or 4-1 up at half time, but I guess that is football.

I'm hearing Afellay might be out for 6 months ?

OT: Anyone watching or following Betis this year? How good they are? Or just fluke run?

They should have scored the 3rd? we should have scored the 3rd, 4th & 5th in 2nd half.. lol

Yes they were better in 1st half.. had 3 chances scored 2 of themm..

we had about 6 chances in the match ..

Valencia 6 shots (1 on target), Abidal scored an own goal!
Barca 10 shots ( 7 on target)

Khaled don't bother. They are just pissed off that their team is shooting blanks with weak teams. That is why they cant wait something to happen and be all over our section trying to hide their disappointment by attacking our team

4-3-3. We were struggling against Valencia with 3 defenders. We can't take any risk now, we need to win this next game because if we don't then Madrid go on top of us (assuming they beat a promoted team, which I hope they don't).

Yep 4-3-3. That’s all we need to do. The team has so much quality. We just need to play sensible

When i saw some highlights, it strike me that we scored the goals only when we played 3-4-3.

Let me explain (perhaps I am wrong). We scored only after Thiago got in for Puyol. And i think for some time we were playing 3-4-3 or even 3-3-4 with Messi, Villa, Cesc and Adriano up front.

So it seams to me we did not score with 4-3-3, we were just more comfortable in defense.

The reason why 3-4-3 (or a kind of 3-3-4 on attack) worked was, because Valencia could not press for 90 min.

Perhaps this is the way to play bigger teams. Use 4-3-3 to tire them from pressing, while keeping the ball and having a better defense which also allows to attack more comfortably, and attack last 30 min with 3-4-3. What do you think?

I'll miss the game (again), got a wedding to attend.

If we play 3-4-3 again they'll rip us apart with players like Reyes, Filipe and Juanfran. They aren't as good wide as Valencia, but its still a risky move.

4-3-3 please. The experiment is over.

Valdes, Alves, Masch, Puyol, Adriano, Busquets, Xavi, Thiago, Messi, Cesc/Pedro, Villa.

Pretty tough schedule you have there. Makes me more frustrated on not taking this chance lmao.

But when they play you they'll be out of form and roll over ffs...
