    Xavi Hernández

    That's the reasoning behind Schweinsteiger's recent "Barca still the team to beat" remark I guess. Robben said similar thing just after the semis iirc. Having said that though, I still remember in one of his interviews a few years back, Xavi described top level footballers generally as very...

    Champions League 12/13

    Great gesture by Ruud by mentioning Malaga when asked about the favourite for UCL. I like it!!

    Champions League 12/13

    Well we can blame the ref all we want, but it is a fact that over these 2 legs Malaga has been kept in this tie many times by Willy's heroic saves. Still, what journey for them. Now let see how bad this Malaga side gonna disintegrate this summer. I heard there's no chance for them to compete...

    Countering the Parked Bus?

    My suggestions: - Double pivot to limit space for oppositions to launch counterattack. - Play Messi even deeper, and let him play in the role he has with Argentina - become the new Xavi+Iniesta. Another advantage is the extra space for his mazy runs. His godlike dribbling may destabilize even...

    Transfers and Rumours - old thread

    I doubt Adriano will leave. The coaching staffs seem to regard versatile palyers very highly, Adriano gotta be one with probably the best versatility in the team.

    Real Madrid vs Manchester United

    +1 Let United concentrate on that one-horse-but-still-the-most-competitive league. I want Madrid, Malaga, and us to feature in the quarters.

    Joan Laporta

    I know these are old posts, I just wanna point out that I'm glad somebody in the internet still remember about Rosell's coup back then. Too many Barca fans have forgotten about this, or they are just too new.

    Sevilla

    Hey guys just wondering. As Atletico, RM and us are most probably gonna qualify for UCL via league positions, have Sevilla already had their Europa slot almost guaranteed by using CdR quota?

    Sergio Busquets

    One of the reason Mou brought Modric on is to pull Ozil out of BOSSquets' pocket and play more on the right wing.

    Raphael Varane

    He was so composed throughout the game. Just wow.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    I do not agree with that. IMO that just make our gameplay more predictable. By playing Messi deeper, he can either dribble from the midfield area right up to opponents goal, or just wait and pick his time to make late runs into opponents pen box. We can also use more of Cesc cute little lobs if...

    Jordi Alba

    Well, the fact that it was his fault doesn't mean he has such glaring weakness in defense. I agree with Stric and Mitkoa completely. He read the opposing movements so well, he could intercept most of their attacks. Failure to setup the offside trap properly is the big risk of our tactic. I think...

    best bench in the world?

    I don't think Barca need the so-called 'best benchers'. I think we Barca fans have already get used to seeing our small sized squad under Pep. The optimum bench to me is the one with a few (probably 4 to 5) versatile players and are not complaining too much on minutes they get. Pretty much like...

    Gerard Deulofeu

    I'd say right now he doesn't need to play like an adult. We should let him play his own way, and let him find his own way to apply his 'egoistic' style against more matured opponents. In other words, we should give him the time to mature naturally. Honestly, I think he did really well in the...

    Rate Alba signing

    Voted 4, but convinced he'll be a 5 star signing for us.

    Jordi Alba

    Saying he can't defend is simply outrageous. His ability to cover up spaces using his pace coupled with his work rate is his defensive tools. His ability to read game flow is not that bad, as he needs it to use his pace to his advantage over his opponents. Of course he has space for improvement...
