    David Villa

    As for the talk of being insulting to David Villa, if anything is insulting to him it is the typical-barca-forum argument that he should play more, and play centrally so that he won't sulk and be offended, and can't bother to be motivated playing a few minutes on the wings. That is extremely...

    David Villa

    How am i being counter-intuitive? Your analysis is the most over-simplified form of football-analysis there is. We had a chance, and we missed? Should've played a goalscorer instead. In fact, why don't we just play goalscorers in every position, as we never know who the chances might fall for...

    David Villa

    So everything good of Tito's Barca is not down to him, but everything bad is? If he had been injured he had been substituted. You don't know for who.

    David Villa

    Well, you're being extremely counter-intuitive here. We needed the defensive security exactly because Betis were capable of scoring a goal and being dangerous enough to hit the woodwork 3 times. I didn't say it brought full-on defensive security; but neither you nor i know that it didn't add to...

    Alexis Sanchez

    Didn't you hear? Alexis and Pedro are the same person, only cloned and employed as part of a wide-ranging conspiracy to limit Villa's game time.

    David Villa

    One more thing, in all the time i've been a barca-fan one of (if not the) biggest fall-downs of our team has been employing too many stars at the expense of balance. Tito is doing the opposite; balance at the expense of stars. The best way, though i like Villa.

    David Villa

    Or you could say we needed added defensive security, more energy, more pace; which Alexis and Pedro brought.

    David Villa

    a) You all insisted that he should play Villa more when he was just coming back from a much longer injury. b) Neither did Villa. The barcaforum army were hating on Villa's every move before he got injured last season, the same way they are hating on Alexis and joining the...

    David Villa

    If any of you care about potential reasons for him not playing and aren't just in it for the conspiracies: The fact that we are now playing with two attacking full-backs, plus the added verticality and directness of Cesc playing in midfield means that we also need more defensive work/tracking...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    If you've been a barca-fan for more than a few weeks you should know that Messi always wants to play every game.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v2

    Vilanova: "Messi playing 30 minutes was talked through, it was part of his physical training program. You can also get injured on training." Now please, shut up, those who insist on blaming injuries on coaches. It's such a ridiculous idea.

    Thiago Translantara

    I don't really see how speed is a criteria for a false 9 (at least not more so than in any other position in modern football). Only in the sense of having skills which enable the false 9 to hold on to the ball (be it through dribbling or using strength to hold the ball) is speed a true criteria...

    Adriano Correia Claro

    He is exactly the kind of soldier any manager should love to have. I love the type; versatile, professional, hard-working team-players, compatible with the style of the team and the other players. Adriano is to an extremely profficient and effective degree what Pablo Zabaleta or James Milner is...

    Martin Montoya

    He's probably not better than Alves (yet!), but he been better so far this season and in general i find we are more balanced, more solid with him. Two outright attacking full-backs like Alba and Alves can be too much; and if it comes down to a choice between those two i'd have to pick Alba as he...

    Andrés Iniesta

    Celtic didn't play like Chelsea, though, for a start. They kept two guys up front al the time and didn't just give the ball away and park like Chelsea or Inter did. People were saying exactly what you are saying now two-three years ago. Sure, some still thought they could press and attack us...

    Yes, they did.
