But without Touré in midfield, we'd be overrun there. I believe it's more important that we defend from the front.

Yes and we ned Touré to play in the centre of midfield. I think Puyol would do a better job on the right than in the centre, and if Martin has enough support from our holding midfielder and Piqué, then I think he will do okay.

Sure yes, but some of the younger players will surely be harder to control. You can't just seal out their minds and say "you guys you can't be overconfident". Players aren't infallible, no matter how good the manager is. I'm just saying that it's unfair of you to dismiss 7788's point like that...

Next season, if Henry stays on, and we sign someone for the left (and Iniesta plays in mid), or we sign someone for the mid (and Iniesta plays on the left) I think Henry could be a brilliant rotation player and supersub for the central position, and he could also play in his usual left role when...

Hmmm funny Maz. We both have the same views on Eto'o, and also Higuaín. I always dislike Real's players, but I really admire Higuaín. He's been by far the best Madrid player this season, and he played alright against us too. Very dangerous player. I don't know what you think about Casillas...

He's injured so very often... We need a fighter like Ribéry. I said it before somewhere, he's the kind of player who will get knocked around a bit, but he won't break in two - instead he'll pull a knife out of his pants :D

Barca7788 has a valid point. Forums tend to reflect the general mood of Manchester fans and the media. And the media affects the players. If the general consensus is that the favourites are United, that will play into our hands, because United will be under pressure, and we will be underdogs.

He should still appear in the last 10 or so minutes of every match that doesn't really matter for us, to keep him from getting rusty, no? I'm so excited though, because if we manage to rest him, he will be able to put in a phenomenal performance in the CL :messi: Hopefully :D

Yeah just checked Wikipedia, it says Forlan's on 27. In any case I've argued since I joined this forum that Eto'o needs to go, and no matter how many goals he has scored, I promise you that someone like Ruud or Villa would have scored many more. Eto'o's goals are Barcelona's goals - it's the...

I think that's how it will be; he will get some much needed erst in the next few weeks. As i've said before, no more midweek fixtures after the Copa, and more importantly, if we wrap up the title, Pep can play the likes of :pinto: :bojan: :hleb: :caceres: :pedro: :sanchez: etc. After all...

:messi: just needs a bit of rest, and with the thinning of fixtures he will get it as well! :hooray:

True, but we still have some of the world's best players on our squad :beer2: Precisely! In a final, everything changes. All of our players will be 100% fired up, and ready to throw their bodies on the line. :pep: will make sure it happens.

I think that we can still do it. We've put ourselves 3 matches away from a treble! And you're welcome, it's always better to have everyone confident, :2145960713mundoemot we have to believe!

:lol: Well I'm glad that you're out of your zombieness - if we can wrap up the title next week then we will have a team that is potentially not tired as well. Imagine if United are pushed to the last day of the Prem, having to fight it out for first place... But if we can have a good 10 day's...

Yeah, he's better as a right back or left back, because it suits his style of defending a whole lot more. He's not composed enough to be a CB.

Okay I've come up with something PTC for myself. And for those who need it of course. As a result of our injuries and suspensions, we'll be going into the CL final as massive underdogs. But this will be the first time in the whole season that we have really been considered underdogs, and that...

Maybe you should also put the Sylvinho - Cáceres - Piqué - Puyol option up, because maybe Puyol would be better off playing at RB, where he is likely to be better. Cáceres has barely played this season, but he's not played at all at RB, and maybe it would be better to play him where he is...

I thought Forlan and Eto'o were both on 28? http://www.soccerway.com/national/spain/primera-division/2008-2009/regular-season/players/

Need...PTC...injection....

He'll probably play in the cup now that Abidal is suspended.... Although maybe not, if I think about it Pep would rather play Sylvinho, Puyol, Piqué and Alves. Well, surely he'll get a game soon. Maybe next weekend.
