    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    This ..i agree.. Mostly we do have average players bar Messi..and an average coach who is no tactical genius like some people would claim here...and there have been quite a few here like Barcaman George_Costanza serghei etc who have been mostly unhappy with our style of play..and my best shot...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Playing Roberto at RB with Pique has been a disaster all year and yet in our biggest game played the same..idiot.. subs on Semedo at 3-0 down.. stupid tactics all around..

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Considering that i had Barca making the semis as the best possible outcome this season, I wouldn't be surprised if this team manages to do this... I mean we do have the individual quality advantage over Liverpool...Us playing as a team and with the required intensity to neutralise their pace...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Interesting that Valverde has gone with Roberto ahead of Semedo in the away leg.. Maybe a HT change if it doesn't work with a move to 4-4-2.. Either way, it finally depends on what Messi does.... hope we do make the final..Visca Barca!

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Don't think Klopp's mind games would have any impact on how we would set up.. I fully expect us to play like how we did in the first leg and in the previous games, nothing expansive..We are not chasing the game, they are.... Probably Vidal will start again..Maybe a 4-4-2 with Sergi Roberto...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Ideally we should see this game out that we would have Roma on the back of our heads especially the players and hope we do one way or another..and if we do win the treble, props to Valverde.... I might have crapped on him during the year with his style of play and seniors calling the shots..but...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Glad we won 3-0... Wouldnt say we totally deserved it but who cares.. Now hope we finish the job at Anfield in a week's time.. We do have a week's rest compared to Liverpool who are also still fighting for the EPL title.

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Lliga | Round 30: Villarreal - FC Barcelona 4-4

    Resting the full squad?? :valverde: The guy doesn't even play Malcolm unless he absolutely has to..He must have forgotten by now we have Alena in the squad too... I am predicting a reasonably strong 11 tomorrow, maybe a rest for Messi.. Suarez and everyone else will start to compensate for his...

    Lliga | Round 28: Real Betis - FC Barcelona 1-4

    Here people were expecting he would rest players against Atletico if he can't do it this game :lol: .. My expectation is gala 11 all the way from Espanyol (home), Villareal (away), Atletico (home) and Man Utd (away) in around 10 days!! :valverde:

    Lliga | Round 28: Real Betis - FC Barcelona 1-4

    Strongest 11 as expected...Here people were expecting rotations..He probably sees international break as a vacation for all the players :valverde2:

    CL 1/4 Final: FC Barcelona - Manchester United 4-0 agg.

    So if we manage to win, we get Liverpool with the second leg at Anfield.. wow that's going to be tough for sure.. I think Utd are just about the same as us tactics wise and could play into our hands considering we have the superior players at every position. But Valverde has had quite a few...

    Lliga | Round 28: Real Betis - FC Barcelona 1-4

    we don't want experiments ..Betis are a dangerous opposition.. :valverde: Plus its going to be international break so think Valverde counts that as free time so playing the strongest 11 looks likely :lol:

    CL | 1/8 Finals: FC Barcelona - Lyon 5-1 agg.

    Valverde has really turned this team of highly paid super stars into a bunch who we think would go out to Lyon.. you truly must be someone special to do that ..Top of that, even if we do, we are hoping we get Porto :lol: I think on paper and based on the evidence of the first leg, we should...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Think the problem is both with Messi and the coach.. First of all, Messi can bench himself but chooses not to, instead chooses to pace himself....But thats just one problem..But the biggest problem is with the coaches whose only tactic with Messi around has been to use the entire midfield for...

    CL | 1/8 Finals: FC Barcelona - Lyon 5-1 agg.

    Valverde and the seniors have introduced so much doubt in the club...I mean we should be beating Lyon under normal circumstances... But we have come to the point where we are worried about a home game against Lyon :lol: Malcolm starting ..you have to be joking...He will be rested so that he...
