If anything, Lucho's Barca is the first time that we have stepped away from Pep's system. We have become rock solid in set pieces for many months now and we tend to score from counters.

Not at all a bad idea if you ask me.

I always remember that the first goal was scored by RvP, but I keep forgetting that Arshavin clinched the winner for Arsenal in that game. His poker against Liverpool is also legendary. Arshavin had an epic season with Zenit in 07/08 when they won the EL (beating very strong teams in the...

Valencia totally robbed in last night's game. They had the better chances, the red card was way too harsh and the Bilbao goal was off-side. I would be very pissed in their stead.

Like I said in a different thread, I do not consider the absence of Ibra to be such a big deal for PSG. I think that Zlatan is not really well suited for these type of games, even though he may be able to come up with an assist or a goal, his lack of mobility render him a relative liability in...

I think that we can live without an ageing Alves for the first half of next season with little if any problems. Then we can bring in a new RB in the January transfer period. No big deal if one thinks about it.

1) I think that PSG are better without Zlatan in big CL games. As talented as Zlatan is, his lack of speed, workrate and pressing, has a negative effect on his team in these type of games. Zlatan's gift is clinching victories for his side in league games, not in being very influential in big CL...

I love Alves and all his efforts for the club in the past 7 years or so, but his current demands are beyond obscene. While it is clear to everyone (including him and his agent) that he is well past his best, he is asking for a contract extension of three (!) more years on the same exorbitant...

Messi is the GOAT. Neymar needs his form/productivity back, and what better time for that to happen! Suarez is getting better and better with the passage of time. He is rapidly turning into our best striker since...a very long time! I personally think that he is better than Villa ever was for...

If we beat Sevilla, then we have only done less than 20% of the job required. Remember these are five tough game in a row! And let's not kid ourselves, the toughest game by far is the one on Wednesday night. The away fixture against PSG can undo our season by (God forbid) descending into an...

1) A draw is not a good result for us at all under the circumstances. We are on a nightmarish run of games, while Real Madrid have it easy in the next few games. We can't let our lead drop. 2) The previous games against Emery teams are meaningless. I can't see how this logic works. And if it...

If we had played anywhere near 100% tonight we would have been the biggest idiots on the planet. We played perfectly well for the juncture in which we now find ourselves. This is the only thing with any importance right now.

Very good game and win, 4 goals (should have been 5 with that inexplicably disallowed Messi goal) clean sheet, key players rested and without exerting our players too much. Now, the real game begins with the first of a very tough and tight run of five uber-games.

I like the line-up simply because it means that lots of key players will be rested.

I would love to see Messi rested myself. But as this game is the easiest (at least on paper) for him and our other front three to score, I see that as unlikely. I am really worried (as I am sure all of us) about the upcoming run of games. There is no way that our players will be at anywhere...

The problem with Rayo is that when they lose, they tend to lose badly. They have conceded 51 goals in the league so far, which is one of the very worst records in La Liga and even worse the bottom club Cordoba.

In fact, maybe even this coming week. I am biting my nails! :barca flag: :champions: :laliga: :copa:

Most of us are really worried about the run of games after the Almeria fixture. Sevilla-PSG-Valencia in the space of one week, with two of those games away from home. Win those three games and we are on track for a big season indeed! Make or break time for the club!!! :barca scarf:

God damn it! They are saving everything for us! Hell awaits at the Pizuan. Is the game on Saturday?
