Yaya drops back because Pep tells him too. Just think about how Yaya used to play, and then there were hundreds of interviews with Yaya saying that although he doesn't enjoy it, he will be glad to take one for the team and play more defensively. Well imo he's acting under Pep's orders and this...

Raul & Benzema ftw.

:rofl1: :lol: :rofl1: :lol: HAHAHAHAHAH at least there is SOME sense in the list. CR should have finished behind Xavi and Iniesta without question. But maybe that will have to wait until this year. Besides, this list then seems to obnoxiously ignore international football since Xaviesta...

Indeed! Though it will involve a lot of difficult hair-cropping, like the Puyol and Pinto smileys did... :lol:

:lol: Nobody's gonna buy him for 10m... Besides, he is good, he's young and if there's anything to prove he will do so, he's not had a chance to do anything yet, so it would be very anti-Barcelona to dismiss him right away. We're supposed to show belief in our youth players.

Yes meta I agree that it was an absolutely magical performance on the part of Piqué, I think he did more good than wrong, I was constantly admiring his tackles, he played as well as he did against Madrid last year. Only issue is the Kaka/Ronaldo problem in the first half. That, and the fact that...

A wild Barcelona appeared! Real Madrid sent out.... Cristiano Ronaldo! Cristiano Ronaldo used step-overs! ...it's not very effective Cristiano Ronaldo used finishing! ...it's not very effective Cristiano Ronaldo, enough! Benzema, I choose you! Benzema used run! ...but it was offside...

Except for that one mis-kick against Inter, I agree!

Yeah except, aside from the screaming at the linesman bit, didn't he get the ball fair and square? I'm 1000% sure that he did. Or that's how i remember it at least.

Well tbf this happened to Henry two years ago, and last year as well - he never seems to hit the ground running with Barca, but when he does start playing well he becomes very important. Just be patient! I think we should content ourselves with the fact that we've beaten two giants in a week...

One stupid match from him isn't the be all, end all. Everyone knew that he had this sort of a MVB moment coming, better that it happens sooner rather than later so he can learn. Otherwise he's been good this season and he deserves to be where he is.

I don't mean his position, I mean his role. He wasn't responsible for creating, he was responsible for finishing. Unlike in ManU where the whole rhythm of the team was dependent on Ronaldo, here all he had to do was find space and yes, run at players when necessary, but more so, take advantage...

Strange that he played so well, not used to seeing that lately.

:rolleyes: So good to see Cristiano losing. :lol::lol:

:lol: And what about Ronaldo's ludicrous dive in the penalty box and his STUPID FAGNALDO facial expression as he fell??? Fair result, Ibra was the only player who had his finishing boots on. Busquets was just stupid, he had it coming and it was also karma for all his dives. Ronaldo imo had a...

:worthy: :flagvl8::flagvl8::flagvl8::flagvl8: FINALLY! I want to see him get 10 minutes!!!

It's such a strange feeling to see that Ronnie still has the raw skill, but he just isn't capable of changing a game anymore, he's just not effective.

I just found something I very interesting on Wiki, it's basically the form table for last season, as to which teams occupied which positions during the season. I foudn it interesting how Valencia were so strong for a part of the season, and then they faltered out and ended up with a weak 6th...

I'm not convinced, he's had a couple of good matches (I think the 4-3 win for them and perhaps the season before that when we lost again, but imo whenever they hype up the whole Agüero vs. Messi thing Kun flops, big time.

Haha he's so childish!
