I dreamt about the match, but I could not see the winner clearly!

this match will be sooo tough, except if Madrid play the coward role by parking the bus!

you go fear obsession Na

ddippset:
2 options: 1.if busquets is not fit, mascherano comes in. 2.mascherano replaces pique at the back. obviously masch is in better form than the duo but iam putting pique and busquets over mascherano for tactical reasons.

dmcdad:

Mathieu is our fastest player... So?

bykebyke:

Mathieu, faster than Alba??

sebod:

If I could have my way bro, I would play Masch infront of Alves, Mathieu, Pique and Alba. Bale is out so I am ok with Alba on the left. Matheiu supports Alves to curtail CR7. I am yet to be pleased with Busi's performance this season as he loses possession at will, i'll play Masch in the DM role to accommodate no nonsense in the mildfield. I see the match as a battle of the midfield where Modric, Kross and James will want to show their skills, I will play their baba (Xavi) to keep them off and play Rakitic to pair him. Since Suarez is not a sure bet to start, I'll play Iniesta behind Messi and Neymar to pull the string while Messi and Ney do the damage. Suarez then comes in later to avenge himself of all the missed period on the pitch.

How I wish Madrid could attack us 100% the way we'll do tomorrow, we could have one of the best elclassico ever tomorrow, but I know ancelloti will play cautiously tomorrow.

we should be able to win them, their defence is shaky, liverpool has no very sharp even good attackers, they could have drew the match.

if they are bold enough to attack us, we go eliminate them, trash them, delete them and embarrass them...

@MrAncelotti: "If Luis Suárez plays tomorrow or not, it won't change our plans. If he does play, it's not a problem for us".

If I hear...

key factor that fans of both teams may not
admit is the element of fear that comes with a
Clásico game. Fear of the realization that your
team is not as good as the other team. Fear of
that first goal. Fear that your team will not
step up. Fear of the ridicule you will receive by
the fans of the other team. Fear that your team
could let you down and the fear that your team
will lose.
For us fans, the thought of a loss is tough to
swallow, let alone accept.
“The threat is stronger than the execution” is a
term that has been used in chess. Some
interpret this as the idea that the threat of
getting beat with strategic moves is at times a
greater tactic and much more of an impact than
the actual move itself. This is because the
threat changes your opponent’s tactics and
psyche.
This saying holds true in El Clásico. From the
coaches’ decisions to how the players play, the
threat of a goal and the threat of getting beat
is at times stronger than the play or goal itself.
If you’re a Culé, you worry about the Madrid
counterattack. If you’re a Madridista, you
worry about Barça’s tiki-taka ball possession
play.
The idea of seeing your team lose is at times a
greater source of stress to fans’ psyche than
the actual loss itself.
This is what makes Clásicos so great: it’s a
high-stakes chess match that has everyone—
including fans—tense, unlike any other game in
the year.

ELYMAXiimus:

pls how did you quote what he put in "quote"?

dmcdad:

I agree with this... Except that Mathieu plays 6 and not 5 and so cannot support Alves in marking CR7. That would be Pique's job to support Alves as they play side-by-side.

Yes you are right. But, since I don't trust Pique's ability to handle CR7, I would simply swap the role for Matheus.

ddippset:
the most anticipated and most unpredictable classico in recent times. the only thing predictable about tomorrow's bout is that ronaldo will fall down in the box.
