How come all the fringe players end up with knee injuries? Afellay, Muniesa, Cuenca, and now Dos Santos. Weird |

sapien: If Barca eventually get to sign a striker like Lewandowski in January to complement our attack, the formation should go thus, especially in big matches:bro i think you raised good points. though i still think we should buy a natural CB in january pair with pique. masch is trying but that still isnt his position and it shows sometimes. also i dont quite agree with changing the position of a player who gives us at least 40 goals in la liga and at least 55 goals in all competitions. that would be criminal. |

Mcleo007: The fringe players. Seriously. They all keep ending up with serious knee injuries. Kind of worrying, especially as they're not even playing that much. All the injuries seem to occur in training |

I agree with you on the CB purchase but not on the position change for Messi. Teams are finding more and more ways to mark and thereby making him injury prone, it showed in the second half of last season. I believe his goals would start pouring in soon, he just needs to score one to break the jinx, and if Tata Martino wants to change his position, I think it's good as he'll be able to switch when he's been overcrowded as he regularly is, even freeing more space for Neymar, Pedro and Alexis. NB: His performance against Real Madrid was below par but i'll take the 3points over and over again, unlike last season when he scored and we still lost. |

AjanleKoko: Yeah Bro, it's pathetic. And considering that they have little chances of first team action, and they just have to impress whenever given the light just seem to complicate things the more. I feel for them though, especially the duo of Affelay and I. Cuenca who were already billed for loan moves, with the latter having not really impressed ever since switching from The Eredevisie. I wish therm speedy recoveries as they'll be needed for the Copa games and when the star players need to be rested. |

That's what I'm talking about; when the through pass chance presents itself, take it quickly and make it count. |

...and Pique remains the weakest link. He has probably scored more own goals in 2 years than Puyol has scored in his entire career. |

Interesting that FC Barcelona haven't qualified before Match Day 5, in 5 years, and they always win their group. But congrats, good win. Game well-controlled. We have to take our chances, we really do |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by dmcdad: 10:56pm On Nov 06, 2013 |
Very good one from the boiz... Not happy with Neymar for losing that glorious chance. That goal should have been arguably the best goal of the tournament. Anywayz, that was a cheap ball we conceded. Alves runs like a chicken now. I couldn't comprehend why he couldn't chase Kaka. |

Good game and good performance from the boyz. I'm happy Messi scored. I wouldnt blame Pique for the goal twas pure accidental. Neymar broke my heart for not scoring what would have been a trademark and Tv goal from such a great run! |

I didnt get to finish the Match though...But we really tried though.....Adriano and Alves were our links in that Match though,especially,with the Intro of Balo! Well,apart from that accidental own goal,Pique tried though,and Masch too...But my only Problem with Barca in this match is that at some Point,we allowed them too Much space.....But this has got me thinking; against Madrid,Barca allowed them the ball,the same period of time{immediately after the Break},and same With Espanyol...This has got me laughing and Thinking though... I believe our Coach is tricky,he will be of the Opinion that: "okay,this guys luv to park the bus against us everytime,give them the ball and park ur own bus too,Let them see how hard it is to break down a parked bus..." And thats when confusion sets in for the opposition..The reason is,they alwaz luv to counter against Barca,and since Barca has decided not to possess the ball,they can't cool the ball down and play,and they will start making mistakes cuz u can't counter-attack a team sitting tight in wait;you have to play ur way in....And they can't do that!.......And then,Pooom! Barca bounces..................the result is alwaz a goal!! Thats my theory though lol! |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by dmcdad: 11:30pm On Nov 06, 2013 |
AjanleKoko:I only complained about his run and not for the goal... It was definitely not his fault. I don't blame Piqué either... |

philfearon: I didnt get to finish the Match though...But we really tried though.....Adriano and Alves were our links in that Match though,especially,with the Intro of Balo! Honestly bro, your theory is very right. After the game against Madrid, Alves mentioned that they (Barca) noticed that Madrid were very dangerous when counter-attacking, but were unable 'to play' whenever they had possession of the ball. So, Barca decided to allow them more of the ball in the second half to get them more confused (paraphrased). They did the same against Milan tonight Pique has really been impressive in the past couple of games (starting from the Classico). His own goal of today was completely accidental (I no mean accidental discharge o )! Messi has scored 6 goals in 3 CL games, averaging 2 goals per game. Yet, people are saying 'Messi is in crisis'. It goes to show that Messi's extraterrestrial. Now, we are in the round of 16. Congrats to all Cules! |

yourangel:Why are you guys stating the obvious. Of course all own goals are accidental (except of course if madness suddenly takes over). But there are 2 basic factors behind an own goal: positional awareness and reflex. These are the factors that will make a Pique more likely to score an own goal than a Puyol. |

Bros, it's not all own goals that are accidental o. Did you see the first goal Samuel Eto'o scored (for Chelsea) against Schalke 04 tonight? It's so funny! If Valdes does that, Cules would call for his head.....lol See the youtube video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MOyn3pNrno |

yourangel:How can you call a goalie error an own goal? And that goal was scored by Eto'o; not an own goal at all. AND even if it was an own goal, it would STILL be accidental as no goalie would intentionally kick the ball in his own net (except he's psycho). |

You were too quick to be critical, that you didn't notice the humour in the post. Did I mention that the goal was an own goal? No. I rightly stated that it was the first goal scored by Eto'o. I was merely using sarcasm to express humour, but you didn't see it that way, because a man that has hammer as his only working tool would always see every problem as a nail. Just hit am for head, gbummm! No be so bro. Always have an open mind towards things or situations. One love |

My Analysis: Just one figure (apart from the scoreline told the story) - Barca was caught offside 6 times. That was good! Xavi and Iniesta had gotten so relaxed in their roles that they forgot we needed to score goals to win games; and would rather make sideways passes just to keep the ball rather than a through pass that could result in an offside call. Then, Barca would have 80% ball possession and lose by a lone goal (and of course zero offside). But now they get it; just make the pass anyway! And make it quick. That's what made the difference; along with the clever and skillful play to unlock tight defenses performed by Neymar. So all those bus-parkers should know they are no longer safe. Barca no longer plays to keep the ball alone; but to score! 1 Like |

sebod: I wouldnt blame Pique for the goal twas pure accidental.Let me break it down to you; football at this level has a science. This is not secondary school stuff. I will use Puyol as an example (or even Abidal). I have studied the movement of these 2 guys especially around the box. Their techniques are flawless, and that is why it would be hard for you to see Puyi or Abi conceded own goals. They could deflect a shot in the net, but not reflexively stick out a foot or leg to push the ball in their own net. When I speak of positional play, it's like this: Before Puyi proceeds to go towards an opponent to tackle or make a challenge, he swivels his head around with his locks flying in the hair then he goes. In that split second, he has a picture of his position and others relative to him (both his teammates and opponents) and can project a good guess where they will all be by the time he makes the challenge. In short, Puyi would not have stuck out his foot like Pique did; and he would not have been positioned the same way or in the same location Pique was. And if he was exactly in Pique's position, he would have used his superior positional judgement to figure that he had 3 of his teammates behind him, as well as the goalkeeper to pick up the cross. No rash movements when you are that close to the goal. |
