My model player. All rounder for sure. Plays the game with some style and makes it look easy. He is carrying this team with Messi these days.

+1. chelski are old, slow have no new ideas.... I have never been a fan of chelski anyway. United definitely has a very powerful counter attacking force in Valencia and Rooney. I think Valencia will be our biggest threat.

Absolutely. Very respectable. ....but not to be taken literally. I do not see United parking the bus. They will try to play. They have the players than can pressure us on the ball and force mistakes from the likes of Busquets. But it is quite possible as their counter attacks have more...

We have and Iniesta who are master passers of the ball :) and were world player nominees because of this particular aspect of their game. +1.

There is nothing disrespectful in my post and if so, please accept my apology. Maybe I am overly confident but this team has given me all reason to feel this way. Trust me, I am also a harsh critic of Barca as I think they can do a lot better, so I am not saying we are indomitable. I have a...

I have watched enough ManU (my third fav team after Arsenal) games to be absolutely certain that Barca have what it takes to win this game. Scholes used to be one of my favourite players but he is way past it. No offense but Barca is stronger in all departments. We can start listing if you...

Madrid was a tougher opponent for sure. They were even stronger with CR7 and we managed to beat them 2-0. No arrogance here but I simply do not see ManU beating Barca. Agreed. I watch ManU also and yes, Barca is superior in every single department. We never do long shots anyway :)

:lol::lol::lol: Great to have you back bro Abi. Take it easy though.

No. There is more to football, or any sport of that matter, than just winning dude. Barca is an institution that teaches a lot more than football, so they must do the right thing here based on evidence. Given the controversy, the respectable thing to do is sit Busquets down for tomorrow...

That is a very good score from Busquests, which IMHO, is easy to get if most of the time you pass back and laterally within a very short distance. Xavi's and Pique's are particularly impressive as the former has to always pass forward, makes a lot of long range passes, while Xavi creates...

Ask Vicente Del Bosque if he will make the same comment now. Also, why is Xavi now defending the negative actions of this legend? Sorry but Busquets is no legend as far as I am concerned. Messi is a legend. Zidane is a legend. Not Busquets but again this is relative depending on our...

I do no believing in fighting evil with evil. I prefer to take the higher moral ground and resort to positive, albeit harder, ways to deal with thuggish teams. Things that can be done are: 1. Releasing the ball early 2. Losing your marker by being alert, staying on you toes, moving around and...

A mediocre and expendable player who singlehandedly triggers so much controversy on a club as respectful as Barca needs a real reprimand. The past 6 pages on this thread is all negative and this is not good imho.

+5 on Mascherano who can do much more than Busquests. The latter may be a little better at awareness, positioning and 1 touch, which he does not fully utilize, but that is about it. For DM, I need a real warrioir. because Busquets has been playing longer in the system. Unless Busi grows...

Fatigue partly explains Busquest recent form, so are all othe other players on the field. Xavi is older than this guy but probably did twice the running Busquets did. Busquets has 3 major problems: 1. Can be potentially a lazy and passive player. He just stands there and waits for the pass...

........................ word. Xavi regulated.

Probably that Shakira licking he got from last game fired him up. Master piece of a performance from Pique. I enjoy watching him drive forward with the ball. One of the few Barca players with gut.

Indeed, I hope this does not come back to bite us in the arse.

No suprises there. RM is full of sore losers. Keita is needed to add some steel into Barca.

Once again, comes to the rescue, VV. One of the best in the world. Definitely the best on ball distribution. He is better at long range passing than some of our midfielders.
