I've never laughed so hard in my life.

Ah, that's the kind of killer instinct and frenzy i want to see in Messi's eyes. He's looked tame recently and has lost some of the winning spirit. It's not permanent obviously but when he and the team start rising back up to form, we'll go back to the winning ways.

well as a right winger he really wouldn't cross that much at Barcelona. He'd probably play cutback passes or layoffs and maybe lofted through balls from the right side.

You realize that Falcao is no less than 50-60 million euros and plays as a pure number 9, he's not going to move to the wings. If we get a forward, it should be a strong, fast, versatile one who can make great attacking runs and finish well. The player has to be great on the ground and not just...

:lol: the philosophy never changes

I remember when we thought Tito would return by mid-January. I hope there aren't any complications in his treatment and I hope Roura doesn't ruin us much more than he has already.

It's very unlikely that he will get to play vs Milan. However he should get MUCH more playing time than he does now. How long has it been since he has played? As we are pretty much out of the CL and la liga is wrapped up, it would be better to bench Alves more often in favor of Montoya. The fix...

Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? No. Especially if we continue like this. Between now and then, many of our players need to return to top form and there have to be some changes in the lineup/system. Also, the coaches need to make it their #1 priority to fix the defensive problems and aim for...

Great news after a disheartening game yesterday :) I hope this helps motivate the team to come back against Milan in the 2nd leg. Welcome back King Abi and I hope you will be with us for a long time.

It's going to be extremely difficult to get past this. Even if we win 3-1, they will win on away goals. It's going to be a near impossible job to keep a clean sheet in the current state of our defense. If any club is capable of pulling out a miracle though, it's our club.

Puyol: "The result hurts more than the stitches in my face." heart of a warrior. :worthy:

Yea that was the basic x factor of Messi as a false 9. But that was when there were prolific goalscorers playing on the wing like Henry, Eto'o, Villa, and a goalscoring Pedro. Nowadays that system has been changed with Iniesta as a playmaking winger and Alexis/Pedro as the "invisible workers"...

No need to be so pessimistic. As football has shown us countless times before, it's not over until it's over ;)

Did you just Kanye West him? :lol:

+1 Stats don't always tell the whole story and Messi hasn't looked that sharp all round on attack. Sometimes the opposition is only able to neutralize him because he doesn't even try to make runs or lure them out of position. I understand why he doesn't have a high defensive workrate and tends...

As tito is still in new york there is a serious limitation on how he can choose the squad as he doesn't get to view the training sessions or talk in depth with each player. I understand he does pick the lineups but it's not like he is completely focused right now because of his treatment or...

He's a good player but very refined at such a young age. Hard to see whether or not he has the potential to be world class or not. My bet is that he does have the potential, but his situation at Madrid could seriously stunt his progress and hold him back. He should either be trusted by Mou or go...

There is no way he could start a game right away. He's been gone for months and he needs to be slowly re-integrated to get his game legs back. He might get in the final match squad and maybe he will get a substitute appearance. Even so, I don't expect more than 20-30 minutes max.

Anything above 20 would be ripping Juve off :lol:
