I am sure they said it was his hamstring on Sky.

Hopefully his injury keeps him out for next month, he surprised me with how well he has played recently.

Rather Real than Bayern, with their matches between Sevilla & Valencia, it would be quite nice for them to tire even more; benefiting us in League & CL.

We need to start resting him, like in 2011. I know the league isn't wrapped up, but vs Getafe he should come off if we have a lead, and start on bench vs Cordoba. He must see that he needs a rest to maximise our chances of winning.

Isn't Pogba injured?

As long as Madrid don't face Juve i'll be happy with the draw. So either R.Madrid vs Barca or R.Madrid vs Bayern. I so don't want them getting to the final, i hope they get more injuries, perhaps some food poisoning day before Semi's.

I am not a fan of resting players in second legs thinking we have won it. I'd rather play starting 11 then bring key players off early. All it takes is 1 bad mistake such as a red card or goal in first half to make it very uncomfortable.

Robben

As much as i wish nobody to be hurt; i have to admit that was my first thought. I hope he doesn't become injury prone as he is now the best midfielder in the world, and rightfully deserves to be recognised as it.

Agreed, we should rest 3-4 max. We should start considering bringing Messi off vs Cordoba & Getafe if we are leading by 2 goals. One player per position should be sufficient, maybe 2 in midfield.

Does he purposely run to the other side of where his teammates are to have more space to celebrate? Its something i've noticed over the years; must be very frustrating to do all the work yet a goal a traffic cone could score gets the credit.

They gave away too many free-kicks in the first half; we seem to give away a lot of silly free-kicks over the years. However, Adriano was horrendous, Alves was better but nowhere near to the Sevilla performance.

I can admit when i am wrong

I feel Zidane had a greater ceiling but rarely hit it. Career wise it is very close, perhaps edging towards Iniesta; however, Zidane although inconsistent he was the more talented. It is very close, you can't be wrong having either choice.

I disagree, as i was including the fact that this season is our best shot at trophies until 2016/17, as we can't sign anyone until Jan window (be CL cup tied also). I wasn't thinking about players fitting into a Pep system at all, i didn't mention anything of the sort. I stated that we lack...

I hope we win treble, and next season with Suarez winning Ballon D'or! However, as i said in another post after the above, i feel better options were available for the amount we spent in the summer. Suarez signing does bring world class talent but it makes our side more individualistic...

The blame can't be solely on tactics, his decline has been evident since last season; tactics have changed from beginning of Tata to current tactics, yet his performances haven't improved but decline further. His passing n vision have deteriorated also, he isn't providing anything of substance...

He has the credentials to deserve a shot, regardless of the winner. Rather him than someone appointing another Zubi...

He was already in full stride whilst Messi was waiting and turning with the ball.

Perhaps we can push Busquets to the middle and Masch as DM? It would offer some creative spark atleast, but it would be huge risk to gamble with it in a CL quarter final. Sad that our midfield decisions are basically "the least worst case". Alves is suspended right? I don't want Adriano, as i...
