    Hell yea, very good points.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    That is very true. You're absolutely right, the having-so-many-midfielders-on situation became a weakness once we got later on in the sesaon... the goals were lacking, and Pedro/Sanchez is not sufficient. Clinical striking is what we need right now. The inclusion of Villa, Tello, even Deulo is...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    http://vimeo.com/29201222# I think this vid is actually a great example of why (whether that be in false 9 or 3-4-3 or whatever) Fabregas up front somehow is awesome! Look how great he is in that central interplay with Messi. They are both essentially the same in many ways. They are ALWAYS...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    This is something I love about Cesc. He makes better runs behind the defense than most of our forwards.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    He needs rest, definitely slightly off of it. Needs to recharge. Also I think part of him not having such great games is having no one up front to pass to. We need to sort out exactly how we're going to utilize Fabregas' playmaking ability. Whenever we speak of subbing players for Fabregas, we...

    Man of the Match thread

    Alba - Unbelievable!! Everywhere at the right time, deadly on attack and defense. Plus that backheel! Valdes - MONSTER game in goal. Played his heart out, absolute warrior tonight. Messi - INCREDIBLE passes, played with a lot of fire. Seems like he's verging on beast mode again :D easily could...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    I agree, it might not have just been effort. He could have been feeling something, he could have been tired, annoyed, who knows. Sometimes it's just an off day.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Ok, yes Messi tried a lot especially in the first half. Yes he and the team were shut down. However later on it just seemed like the fire was gone. In past I have seen him put a lot more effort forth in these games. It can't just be a coincidence when many people have noticed that only a few...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Exactly. When someone here was bashing others for "flaming" Messi about not trying his hardest... come on dude, it was obvious. No one is bashing Messi, just pointing out that his usual fire and 100% effort was missing. It's not disappointing if Messi and the players give 100% and lose/draw but...

    Alexis Sanchez

    This and his other goals are the only reason I don't lose complete faith in him. He did make some great goals last year and showed some real goalscoring prowess. He seems like a completely different player now. Some more of his brighter moments. Lets hope this returns soon.

    David Villa

    I agree with both of you. Our MAIN problem keeping us out of winning both the CL and the league last year was lack of finishing, point black. Villa was SORELY SORELY missed. Now, we are nearing the final stretch of the season soon and once again we are having the SAME problem - great possession...

    Alexis Sanchez

    The main thing that somewhat bothered me about Alexis's game when he came on was him not actively looking to make more threatening runs for a chance on goal. We were near the end of the game, we needed a goal, but instead of him being up front with Messi on the attack looking to make threatening...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    Of course. It's just a suggestion for an alternative to perhaps try, that's all. No matter who we bench we are sacrificing something from our play style.

    Cesc Fàbregas

    Like I said I don't think we struggle with Pedro in the front line up, it's still a good line-up, but it fails to utilize one of our most creative attackers. Cesc adds an element that Pedro cannot bring, that is his playmaking/final pass ability. I'm not saying that we are weak with MVP up...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    I still don't see the conflict between what you are saying and the line-up we are proposing. Yes, we clearly need Iniesta and Xavi in the midfield. When we beat Madrid all those times, our possession game was off the hook, we beat them by absolutely dominating possession with untouchable tiki...

    David Villa

    Yea I'm not positive it's part of a master plan but there's no way to tell for sure. We'll have to see what happens in the 2nd leg. Though I'm still just as baffled and frustrated as everyone else, there is no reason he should not have played this game to put Madrid in the casket after the...

    David Villa

    I think one possible explanation could be that they were resting him for the return leg. The more I think about it the more I really think that is what's happening. Roura or someone did say "We knew this was going to be decided in the 2nd leg." Perhaps they have a whole different tactic for...
