    Ibrahim Afellay

    the quotes from Tito and Zubi suggest Pep is already thinking ahead. sounds like he wants to use Afellay as a first-change for multiple positions. despite what they say, I do think it has to do with allowing Iniesta to play centrally.

    Gerard Piqué

    a convinient "injury" so Pep doesn't have to admit he's resting him so he doesn't get suspended for the Clasico. I saw the clip of CR mugging him with the cutback. amazed Piqué fell for it given his history of staying on his feet vs. CR (and that's why he's always played him so well) but...

    Andrés Iniesta

    no he doesn't. Xavi makes us tick. Iniesta makes us tick more accurately, but he's not as central as Xavi (that said, Carefree isn't giving him enough appreciation). although really if we're being accurate with the analogy, everyone makes us tick as we play in a system where every player is a...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    that is bizarre. should have been the Zaragoza goal. has to be Linus Hallenius, though. that was fucking genius.

    I had no idea this thread existed. some of you lot are freaks. :lol: I own 2: 00/01 home, 05/06 home. contemplated buying the 08/09 away but never did. that's a great idea. bringing out new shirts every year is shameless commercialism designed to fleece supporters of their money. not to...

    Ibrahim Afellay

    as I suspected, Afellay as the winger, Iniesta as the volante.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    to be honest Mourinho wasn't that good looking when he was younger. he's aged very well. when he met her they probably were on the same sorta level, looks-wise.

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    that's all it is. frankly using him more sparingly is a good thing. he usually picks up an injury or two every season because of how hard he plays, so if we use him less he can continue to play hard because he knows he'll have more recovery time. anyway, the real worth of Mascherano will be...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    to be honest, Beastie, this Jonathan person is absolutely correct about "official studies" HOWEVER Reial are the most popular team in Spain, so it's really just diverting the issue to rip on "official studies" brilliant comment, and so very true.

    Iniesta = Zidane Messi = Classic Ronaldo or somethin'.

    Eric Abidal

    he was very solid, really. like Pep says, he has all the abilities to play CB (boy does he have the abilities) if he can just keep his focus. Puyol was the liability today. sad to see him like this. we really should use him more sparingly and allow him to recharge.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    too good. he's just too good. the world is still exploding from the awesome of that second goal.

    Mesut Ozil

    I have a feeling we will use Afellay as a winger, more than a midfielder. as Xavi's physical status will mean we need to play Iniesta in the middle a lot more.

    Mesut Ozil

    where would he play in our system? at Reial he is given prominence in the tactics and allowed to play as the CAM in a 4231. we play 433, so, no CAM. he wouldn't be able to shine to his full potential in either our midfield or forward line, so why spend money on him only to NOT get the best out...
