I'd rather Thiago played I suppose for a bit more flair in there, but I expect Keita to start in the middle to be honest. Huge blow to our chances, we really will need a mammoth performance.

His form is certainly below par right now. There have been signs in the last couple of weeks with him losing the ball a bit more, trying to be too clever when he has simple balls open to him. Last night he took it to a new level, I don't remember him having a worse game. We need him at his best...

He was dreadful last night I thought, wasted the ball all too often, head down and run/cross/shoot.

Cannot believe our luck here. Our squad might be thin but to have 3 LBs and all of them are out injured at the crucial point of the season, that's terrible luck. Maybe Keita will play there? Playing Dani is an option too, Di Maria cuts in on his left every single time, so he'd be walking onto...

Busquets was playing CB for most of the game last night, what a shit example. He's 100x more accomplished player than the likes of De Jong, he doesn't need physique because he positions himself well and times his tackles. You'd struggled to find another defensive player of his kind with anything...

Not much but it's more than Dubai has

I waited about 5-6 weeks before I got mine back when I signed up, so be patient. Did you remember to put a stamp on it?

Really weird decision that, it's a small club, I don't see how they'll change that. With the Financial fair Play stuff coming in surely they've missed the boat to a large degree anyway? Sticking Team Dubai in there is a joke, typical Arab move with their oil money. Spits on the traditions and...

Maxwell is a more composed player than Adriano, but the key thing is Adriano's pace. Plenty of times he was able to outspring CR, if you're able to do that you've basically neutralized his whole game. The only reason he scored was because the centre backs got sucked across and Adriano had to...

Just think of it as a dart board.

Yeh I think Puy could get through on pure adrenalin tbh. As long as he's fit enough to start then it'd be ok, there's no point rushing him into the line up, there are enough Clasicos coming up for him to play in. Just having him back in the dressing room will be huge for the team, but if he...

I'd forgotten about that Ramos challenge in the 5-0, total disgrace. I hope he gets a raping tonight, and when Masch is back hopefully he hits him hard :D

I think Pep has been looking at giving Gabi some minutes before Fontas gets in on the act. I'd like to see him given a chance, I'm sure he will do towards the end of La Liga. If we win tonight then maybe next weekend against Osasuna he could play?

After that sloppy pass he actually improved and regained his composure. If you were watching properly he slipped (can happen to anyone) and deliberately fouled the guy to stop him going past, which is why he was booked. The guy needs minutes, but I'd worry pace wise against Madrid.

Puyyyyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! Hopefully we get the opportunity to bring him on in the 2nd half tomorrow, give him some minutes, then he can start on Wednesday. No point rushing him back, and we can't throw him on if it's 1-1 or something.

Irv you lucky bastard, that trip is gangsta! You've got everything planned perfectly, I'm highly impressed. Basically you can see us knock out Real live and then head to Ibiza to celebrate in the clubs, what a dream :lol:

He's more of a risk taker than Xaviesta, patience will come with experience. The attacking instincts and flair he has gives him the chance to offer us something different to those two, so he shouldn't be changed too much.

Zonalmarking is annoying, that Michael Cox guy pops up every now and then on the Guardian podcast. All that comes out of his mouth is stats or some shite about formations. That's all he ever argues with. Football has never been black and white, never will be. I agree with what has been said...

His best game for Barca tonight IMO. Dangerous movement the whole game, he was also sensible with the ball, didn't panic or give it away, he got his head up and kept possession. Really impressive, and he was unlucky not to score as well. Very promising.

He was fantastic tonight, he also won me over playing in a CB role. He adaquately challenged in the air, tackling was awesome. It certainly helped as Biscuits could move into midfield to help the passing.
