Lliga: FC Barcelona - RCD Mallorca 5-0

[Flavia]

This Saturday, 29 Oct, at 20:00.

Almost no time to rest, quite the marathon.

[estranged]

Wow this will our 3rd game in a week! I hope we get maximum points out of the next 3 games (I think we can have a bit of a rest after that?)

[IrvDizzle]

we're going to win 1-0. the fangirls/boys will scream bloody murder, failing to realise that we are within striking distance of the top 2 despite the fact that El Capitan, Piquenbauer, and ASEXis have started a combined 6 games (3 for el Capitan, 1 for Piquenbauer, and 2 for ASEXis, respectively) for Pep. MaraVilla's name will be dragged through the mud. as will Pedro's.

hilarity will ensue.


or not.

[Deco 20]

One should be entitled to criticize/be worried about the players after displays like the one tonight without being labeled a fanboy

[barcetia]

The only player I am thoroughly disappointed with is Messi. The rest did fine.

[impeh]

start Thiago next to Cesc in CM, then Iniesta up front on the left.

Xavi can be on the bench for this.

Personally, id like to see Villa through the middle and maybe Cuenca given another start. Despite not playing well today, i dont see us losing at home. Can always bring Messi on towards the end.

[Myrmecophile]

Yeah, I'd like to see Cuenca given another go.

I'd love Rafinha to make the squad.

[Galning]

Release the Kraken!!!

[PhilS]

Good time to start quite a few of Cuenca, Adriano, Thiago, Cesc, Keita, Maxwell. All these are good enough, plus some others at Barca B.

Mallorca just lost to Gijon in Mallorca .. how shit can they be in Camp Nou??

but still .. in the current form .. it's not gonna be easy ..

[jairzinho]

Should be an easy stroll for La Blaugrana in the Camp Nou. Not being cocky, but Mallorca have won only 2 games all season and besides, Messi has a point to prove to the fans after missing the penalty last sunday at Camp Nou.

[BigBarcaBoy]

Good news about Pique and Puyol being available for Saturday, with Alexis back in training things are looking up.

Alves Mascherano Pique Abidal
Busquets
Iniesta Cesc Thiago
Messi
Villa

[kalikle]

i expect ez win..off day won't be repeated. think xavi will get the rest and we'll see thiago and/or keita in first 11

personally i'd like to see something like

valdes
alves-mascherano-abidal
thiago-sergio-cesc-iniesta
cuenca-villa-adriano

but more likely we'll see

valdes
alves-pique/mascherano-abidal
thiago-sergio-iniesta-keita
cuenca-messi-villa

and i don't want to see

valdes
alves-pique-mascherano-abidal
thiago-keita-iniesta
adriano-messi-villa


go barca

[Bojan]

We didn't really miss Pique and Puyol did we? Haven't conceded in a while now.
Problem, recently, is finding difficulties to score. Barca haven't scored a goal from open play for 188 minutes now.

It's time we turn it around and I definitely agree with Galning here:

Release the Kraken!!!
