Sanchez had his own unique style at Udinese, it was fun to watch. However he was never a prolific goal-scorer, hell not even a semi-impressive one. He also played on a team that played easy on the eye counter-attacking football. He was a doomed buy from the beginning. As far as Fabregas goes...

The sad part is that Eto'o, despite turning 29 that year, was only getting better. Even with his injuries, his best year was the year we sold him...go figure. Pep obviously knew what he was doing, but I'm not sure forcing Eto'o out was necessary....they must have really not got along.

Exactly this. But he's too big to press like Eto'o did, he'd run out of gas by the second half. There are only two players I can think of that could replicate the greatness of Eto'o and that is Ronaldo and Falcao....and I'm not sure either of them have the heart that Eto'o gave each and every game.

To be honest, Messi would have a field day having someone like Ronaldo to feed the ball to.

Why the fuck does he start in a pointless league match but not in the CL semi final? This coaching needs to go, see ya later, have a nice day.

Yes, and a lot of it has to do with Busquets pushing too far up this season and being to slow to track back in time. Pique himself has been off though, yet I'm sure it's hard to defend when you are partnered with a different CB every single game.

Dude...this guy is making Pepe his bitch, I'm basking in infinite amounts of glory.

Hardly. However, when you consistently play decent games, but have large brain farts like this often....it's no longer "one mistake" and becomes a trait. I'm all about bringing some height into the defense, but someone with decent speed is necessary. No pace is one of the main reasons Busquets...

Another reason I don't want Hummels....other than the fact he's super slow. Sick penalty though, running full speed while having your feet clipped is ok?

No. No. And no. Management did it all wrong, and they've got a whole lot wrong this season. They've kept him on the bench almost the entire God damn season and now, under desperation, they start playing him? No, that's not how you nurture talent. You sit down with your staff and you ask...

Varane is definately not over-rated. That kid is awesome. He's 19 years old, 6'3 and extremely fast...not just for someone that tall, he's just fast period. Real Madrid got him for around 10mil and that is the biggest steal ever. We could pay 25-30mil for a CB this summer and the odds are they...

More like not enough. He's been getting caught too far up this season and perhaps half of last season as well- and he doesn't have the speed to make up the ground either. He had a horrid game today regardless.

Cesc playing false 9 with Villa on the RW and Cesc playing false 9 with Messi on the RW is completely different. However, as I had always wanted from the begining, Cesc alternating into the midfield is what I think should have been happening from the begining. Xavi and Iniesta is the clear...

Those saves are saves you EXPECT from any "world-class" keeper dude. Willy kept Malaga in the game yesterday and before this he was from what, the second division? Like I said, I expect a world class keeper to make those saves, but he gives up weak goals all the time and anyone who really...

Cesc left a lot to be desired but he's not a false 9 and it's not his fault they play him there. Lets not forget that Villa and Pedro made 0 runs behind their defensive line and seemed almost afraid to get into the box. The front line in general seemed harmless, Iniesta is just world-class...

I wont judge the kid because we simply haven't seen enough of him. He's aggressive in the air, which I like, but I have yet to see how his weak foot is and watch him have his pace tested. And how did Adriano not do well? He did a good job today, and Alba was fantastic.

That goal today is why I wont miss Valdez so much. What the hell was he thinking. Two guys making a run, each covered with a defender on the inside of the...and the guy comes way out of the box and dives to the right? Sigh, dude they are covered, stay in the net and cover your post ffs.

I'm not speaking about Champion's League or vs Barcelona, I'm speaking about in general throughout the season.

You have to understand how our team actually plays. We are a high pressure, high possession team. We almost live on their side of the halfway line. The majority of the time we give up goals it's from a counter or it initiates from a set piece. This tells us that we need someone aggressive- a...

Thiago Silva was never injured that much at Milan, Nesta was the one almost ALWAYS injured and Thiago paired with one random other CB all the time.
