    Marc Bartra

    Pep? I still remember he tried to give Muniesa chances too early, and it has been a disaster. That's how fragile a youngster is. Extra cautious planning is needed when handling them. And Pep was also the one started to use Masch as CB, when we had Fontas around, earning close to zero start...

    Marc Bartra

    I think you missed a major point here. Because I don't think Bartra's exclusion was Tito's decision alone, and I also don't think that current gradual inclusion into current setup is Tata's decision alone. I think this whole plan has already been planned by the whole coaching staffs. We have to...

    Marc Bartra

    Firstly, I am gonna admit that I had my serious doubts for Bartra. Never convinced he's gonna make it. But recent performances have steadily swayed my opinion on him. I think at the rate he's improving now, he's gonna be massive for us. I would like to comment though, that so far Barca has been...

    Champions League 2013/2014

    I mean, you know, that passing triangles our tiki taka was famous for during Pep's first season here? Bayern have them absolutely all over the pitch tonight! Even right in front of Man City pen box. Absolutely great stuff.

    Bayern's passing aka their tiki taka, wow, it's been breathtaking.

    Sergi Roberto

    Impressed with his cameo appearance. Replacing Messi as false nine, his touches were very natural. Bad news though, that he seems to be more comfortable playing further forward i.e. Cesc and Inista territory, than playing deeper controlling tempo i.e. Xavi's place. The attacking mid position is...

    Argentina

    Gotta say Gago has always been decent for Argentina everytime I watched him (which isn't to often tbh). Should have had better career at club level in Europe imo.

    La Liga 2013/2014

    Agree Diego Costa has been tremendous. That Atletico midfield has been horrendous though. Gabi + Tiago + Raul = zero creativity, even though Raul did score. The forwards are the ones running the show, and Rayo midfield really help them by playing more even worse.

    Jordi Alba

    +1 I suspect too many people here are just worried with the diver tag Barca earned, which I think is not a big issue at all. To me, whenever the opponents play around the rules (and the referees) by constant aggressive tactics, like pushing or sneaky kicks, our players should play act too.

    Jordi Alba

    You guys are being too harsh on Jordi. I don't know we watch the same game or not, because if we do you all must have realized that Diego bullied Jordi all night, elbowing and pushing. And seriously, it was all Diego did as their right winger up until he was subbed off :lol:

    Pedro Rodriguez

    He stayed too wide I think :( Too far from their goal to be of any threat.

    Xabi Alonso

    Err, what? :lol:

    Cesc Fàbregas

    You nailed it dude. 100% agree. I believe Xavi is the one that will get phased out btw. I think the final outlook once Tata fully implemented his idea should look like in 4-2-2-2 formation. Pedro------------------Sanchez --------Cesc-----Messi-------- ---Iniesta-----------Busquets Both...

    Jordi Alba

    I seriously think though, that Diego Costa was specifically asked to get Jordi angry, in the hope that an unfocused Jordi would make more mistakes. He poked Alba throughout the game, and we all know Diego Costa is more than capable to do that kinda job. Jordi in the end calmed a bit though...

    Denis Suarez

    I don't know if I got it wrong, but I think that deal is kinda okay-ish. If he won't ever get promoted, and never get to play for the first team, we only pay 1M, which I think is fair price for a youngster with that bit of a hype. Okay 8M (final amount will be 1.8+8=9.8M) may sound a bit silly...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    He does have a point you know. While Xavi and Iniesta are the best in the world at keeping the ball or passing it from deep, Cesc is nearly the complete package when attacking opponents' pen box. His final passes and chipped through balls are wonderful, and his late runs into the box are usually...

    Suddenly Verdu looks like more than enough to replace Benat :lol::worthy:

    Pre-season friendlies 14/15

    Shah Alam stadium can hold 80k spectators guys. Don't worry :lol: It used to be the home stadium for the Malaysian NT before Bukit Jalil, so it is pretty big too, with a slightly better pitch condition :lol: I just got back from offshore due to work, and I haven't bought my ticket yet. Dunno...
