This is true to some extent. But while Villa often makes those runs he still doesn't get the pass to often unfortunately - why would Pedro? I agree with many that think there is something wrong with our tactics/system - having to rely on 1 player to score more than 50% of our goals is of course...

2011 is a long time ago in football. We fooled/outplayed almost all teams 6 years in a row - than we were the team to beat. Everybody studied us and found out our weaknesses piece by piece. This, coupled with when you put 4-5 players on our only goal threat, when you isolate Xavi from passing...

He has never been world class, he is a young kid who had 3-4 good games (but he did look composed for his age, ok) - let's judge him after a couple of seasons. But after tonights display he was anything but world class.

Why a CF? We play with Messi in the middle anyway. If anything is about to change on that front we need a new coach.

Same is said about Varane after tonight :lol:

I looked forward to see Real getting ra*ed by Bayern, but this is even better :lol:

They also know how to defend, that is a BIG plus when in CL semi :wave:

Funny thing Lewa got w yellow for that challenge, Alba didn't even get a free kick when that a-hole Moller did the same thing.

IMO should have played the left flank and Song in midfield. All those corner kicks killed us, we could have used Song + he would stop more attacks through the middle.

Would not have changed anything tbh. We were not even close to their box a single time during the entire game. At least Messi could have had a couple of successful solo runs shaking things up, Villa can't get past weak La Liga players - sry to say. Tito should have started with a double pivot...

Sounds crazy, but I like it :lol: Just play him at RB when Alves retires - seriously, he would be better than most attacking RB's :lol:

Tell me about it, the false 9 worked under Pep because we had wingers capable of taking on defenders and scoring (and probably also instructed to do so). Also, with Alba and Alves being very attack minded our wingers have to defend much more. Another thing, you are completely right about the...

Keep him, he will be good backup next season. Didn't have a great game, but did ok.

Because we almost always played with 2 CB's, 1 'defensive' LB and Alves did his thing in attack - we played a 3-4-3 with Alves higher up. I also like Alba, but he can't defend against stronger teams in important matches - he gets pushed around like he wasn't even there. Looks like football...

We actually agree with each other, even if it doesn't look like it at first glance :p Before we had a fit Puyol, Pique that had his mind on football and 1 fullback that could defend and stayed back most of the time. We also had wingers that could rip defenses apart. Today, we don't have any of...

Worthless today, and stupid to. But it's not his fault we choose to buy and play 2 ultra offensive fullbacks - one of which can't defend. Yeah, I'm talking about Alba - Alves at least puts in some defensive displays worth a fullback. Alba is just a winger that tries to do some defensive duties...

Then we need to change our fullbacks to. Let's see if Neymar puts in at least half the defensive work Pedro or Sanchez puts in. With fullbacks like Alba and Alves we will get even more screwed next season.

Fixed it...
