    1 - Victor Valdes

    The way Valdes came out pretty much made that finish the only true option; and limiting him to such a difficult finish is good goalkeeping. Had he stayed on the line, Ramires could have taken it closer/would have had more options for the finish due to bigger angles. And with the pace of Ramires...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    That sounds like such a ludicrous statement, until you think: "Oh wait, he is talking about Messi.. That makes sense."

    Alex Song

    In isolated terms he was OK, but we sorely lacked Busquets speed and accuracy of distribution, thus too often our central attacking trio were facing a wall of opponents because they received balls not between the lines but infront of their lines.

    Adriano Correia Claro

    That's an immensely critical angle to what i find to be Vilanova truly demonstrating his cojones - being succesful with a risky, surprising decision.

    Alex Song

    Beast performance coming through. Think Mascherano at Wembley, Yaya in Rome. That type, style, quality performance.

    1 - Victor Valdes

    Oh, how i hate when people use that word to defend them criticising players. He was not questioning your freedom of speech or entitlement to criticise players, but rather your motivation to do so.

    1 - Victor Valdes

    There is no better goalkeeper in the world for us than Valdes. I'd take his one mistake in the Super Cup over Casillas two (might be more) point-costing mistakes in the league any day.

    Mascherano: CB at Barca a risky business

    Stop spamming this thread; you have used three posts to criticise him now, with no-one taking the bait and replying to your undifferentiated one-liners.

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    So, basically the guy who was assistant during our most succesful ever period, who has now started as manager with 9 points in 3 league games and lost a supercup on away goals (as in, the score was 4-4 after 180 minutes) to Real Madrid (the team who beat us to the league last year, mind you) is...

    Yes. Everyone wants him out. Exactly right.

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Best signing since Alves.

    Viktor Fischer

    I played against this guy when he was young (played for local club Lyseng, in Aarhus, before moving to AGF and then FC Midtjylland - this remains one of the biggest mistakes AGF has made, letting this guy go for nothing) - and we were slaugthered by him singlehandledly, even though he was...

    Athletic Club

    Munian is barca-material. Besides his good technique, pace, vision - he seems to work incredibly hard - at more than one point looking like a left back when defending.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    Özil has been brilliant this second half; great both in the early build-up and in the final third.

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    I guess is the idea to get more attacking thrust; by moving Ozil deeper and closer to the ball, they now have two players capable of delivering the first pass. They will as such provoke the two defensive midfielders of Mallorca to come out and press; thus creating space in the gap for Benzema to...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    What Real Madrid needs to do, is find a way to get Lassana away from the central midfield area, where his role is reduced to nothing at all. He is seeing plenty of the ball; which is not where he is strong; while Mallorca are playing their attacks quickly down the wings, and never through the...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    Their defensive approach is spot on really; their left sided midfielder moves in to become an extra central midfielder, leaving Arbeloa free, while their right sided midfielder (Pereyra i think) stays wide, keeping tabs on Marcelo. This means that the only player Real Madrid can consistenly find...
