All we have to do is finish our chances and we'll win.

Iniesta was more of a DM than Mascherano tonight :lol: Great game, all round amazing. Hope he keeps this big game form up.

Deu would provide more competition for Neymar, he may not be consistent but unlike Pedro he'd probably score a wonder goal or give a wonder assist to light a fire under neymar's ass.

Great match from him, would have still rathered Bartra but not because we would have been better off, just cause I rather give our future captain more time :)

I would have rathered Pedro play today than Neymar if only to rest him for Sunday but hindsight is 20/20.

Another game another win, we weren't even trying as well. Hopefully 100% against RM. Even if we only win the Copa I can honestly say this team is playing at a level comparable to Pep's Barca, but I suppose the real test is Pep's Bayern.

Kompany is shit. Honestly the only Man city players that could start for us are Zabaleta and Toure and Toure isn't definite cause he's not going to displace Busi or Rakitic and can only displace Iniesta depending on whether or not he feels like playing well.

Real madrid just got ripped through at home by Schalke, not like us, when we lose they score a lucky goal then park the bus. they were soundly beaten. There is no part of the game where RM is better than us currently attack, midfield or defense. The only sore spot we have right now is Iniesta's...

Defending wise I say Mascherano is the best, distribution wise and ball skills i'd give it to busi.

Right right. I think Barta can handle it, especially with Pique in the form that he is. Knowing Mascherano he'll have Silva in his pocket so he would just have to worry about balls over the top and the odd through ball from wide. This game is also lower stress than the classico since we have...

He wasn't RB in the PSG game really didn't we play a 3-man defense basically with Pedro and Alba going up and down the wings?

His profile is actually perfect for DM in Lucho's system. If his passing is more consistent then he could actually fight for a place here probably. That consistency will only come with game time though and I doubt he'll get it this late so he's probably going to leave. But you never know...

Guys if Mascherano could have Robben in his pocket for 120 mins I think he can handle being DM. And unlike with Argentina he has Rakitic next to him to help him defend and to do distro. Mascherano shouldn't be a deciding factor if he gives a good game defensively. Messi/Rakitic/Iniesta will...

His passing is something else. Pique has great cross field balls but I think only Mascherano beats Bartra overall in passing range for out CBs.

I rather not make predictions and sweeping indictments like "X player will never be good for us" especially if it isn't to do with actually quality and more to do with learned things like positional awareness and passing the ball sooner. With this sort of thing all you can have his hope and wait...

He'll be good(starting material that is) till 30-32 but midfielders like you say retire around 34-36 if he wants to retire early he'll probably retire in his prime of 30-32.

:lol: @ Cazorla suggestion, dude should never be mentioned as a potential barca player.

Bayern haven't exactly been convincing against the best opposition, they still play in a way that would get them torn apart by Atletico if they're on form. And if MSN is on form out counter attacks will get us goals since their defense is shaky against good fast technical players.

How's his injury going?

He's pretty quick in tight spaces but Reading the game can make up for speed deficiencies. Edit: If you ask me though Samper is closer to Pirlo and Xavi than Busi. I think it might be a waste of his talents to stuff him in CDM, busi is only what, 26? He'll probably be good till 30-32(although i...
