Not bad, we can capitalize on having Iniesta and Messi on the same side with their quick passing. That can unlock the Man U defense imo.

I was thinking the same when he did that. I'm not sure what his role has been the last 5-6 games. He is far out to the left doing no good at all. It's not like he can dribble or pass like Messi, Iniesta or Xavi - so what the hell is he doing on the left wing? He should be in the centre and wait...

I agree 100%! Even if Caceres haven't played to much lately, I'd prefer to have Yaya in DM position. Besides, we were lucky a couple of times against Chelsea cause' Yaya made a couple of mistakes and I'd rather see Pique and Puyol as CBs. Since Man U will play more 'football' than Chelsea did...

I sure hope so. If Man U does a Chealse on us, we don't even have to bother that we don't have Abidal or Alves since they won't attack?! But I'm sure that Man U will attack much more than Chelsea. They are not only a team in the defense, but also very good in the offensive. Good passing, nice...

I don't agree. I think that Peps tactics are good, he just has to refine it a little bit. Passing even faster and changing sides more often. Ribery is a different player from Henry and he will open up a new dimension on the right side. Nobody says that CL is easy, we're in the finals with the...

I think he will play Park cause' of his work rate in the defense as well as his speed in the counter attacks. Btw, besides Rooney and Ronaldo I really think that Scholes is a top notch. But Berbatov is slow and - how should I put it - not Man U material. He will do us no harm :grin: "he comes in...

That's also true! Funny game that would be to watch, Man U and Chelsea both staying at their own half :lol: I mean come on, why risk it. It's the CL semifinals and who would want to concede a goal :lol:

Unfortunally I agree with you on some points. Against teams like Sevilla, Valencia, Bayern or some other teams in that 'division' - we rely on Iniesta, Messi or Henry to unlock the defense sooner or later and since we have possesion like 70-30% we get a lot of chances for them to do so. But...

Maybe you're right about Ronaldo, that he just wants to play. But sometimes you have to know what's best for the team, not best for you. Obviously he should trust Sir Alex since you guys won the CL last year and EPL last 3 years. And I don't believe he has a inferiority complex since he was...

Sorry mate, I didn't mean the "cocky" part that literally. Anyway, if you have followed our games, you should know that we won't struggle defensively without Alves cause' he is more of a right wing forward than he is a right back. But we wil suffer from not having his support in the offense. And...

We rarely counter cause' few teams dare to attack us! With you guys, it might be different cause' you play more football than Chelsea does. But to say that we only had ball possesion and that Iniesta and Messi didn't play good against Chelsea is not fair to say cause of the circumstances...

I agree! Eto'o doesn't step it up like Henry does in important matches lately. I'm sure he will be very good against Man U!

Solved?! Come on? Caceres on CB??? Sylvinho on LB, Puyol and Pique on CB and maybe Caceres on RB. Maybe even play Busquets on DM, Yaya on CB and Puyol on RB - but Busquets was really not playing to good tonight on DM imo. But our attack will compensate for our defense. Visca Barca...

IMO, he was totally awesome tonight again! He is in my book one of the best CBs in the world already, 21 years old!

Actually, lately Don has made a bigger impact by far than Messi has! :2145960713mundoemot

Was Eto'o playing against Chelsea? Did anybody else see him? He was just sooooooo NOT playing any good. OMG, this was maybe his 6th game in a row where he did nothing at all (besides stressing the defence with his running up front, but we could get somebody else for that - we need a world class...

Yaya did OK, not much more. We won the game and we're all happy and maybe not thinking clearly, but Yaya did maybe 3-4 mistakes where Chelski could have punished us. But hey, he is one of the best DMs in the world - not CBs. But after all, a good performance.

Good point there maz!

It feels like Henry steps it up in CL? Or is it just me? IMO he's been one of the most import players in the tournament for our side.
