switdick: ^^we seriously need marcelo back to make this a 'must win" a success mehn!.......like this dortmund boys are getting their streak back in tactics confidently.

So much for these blancos haters in the house saying all past glory and shi.t ,like they were playing football with their hands then? we don't know what a decade from now will b,and our kids b saying all these barca boys just have past glory"..lol.......

Madrid might not have be bagging trophies buh we breaking and setting records,sumtin other clubs aint quite good@.if we go by the yardstick y'all use2 judge? Madrid are still on point tho... ,with current form,record making abilities,still champions in their local league...OMG!!!lol... History and statistics are a part of football and as such madrid's got more, Beat that!!...we still the best in da woRld......LMAO!!

ortopazz: I never expected that this insults was going to get this far, I mean if Dortmund champz of Germany cudnt beat us convincingly with thz half baked team then hell will breakk loose when we catch them in Bernebeau, marcelo,khedira, arbeloa, and the rest of em wil be back, you can imagine the team, yesternite while watching madrid play, I wondered what they were doing in the training session, there was no cohesion in that team wat so ever that team, I merely watched the match buh enjoyed watching Ajax destroy man.city, i enjoyd their game, they dint just win, they deserved it, so I believe we need to get our acts together b4 the return leg.

usbcable:

am not blaming essien.

its just unthinkable that you can loose three left full backs(marcelo/coentrao/arbeloa) all at once. reminds me of the when chelsea lost two goalie in a single match.

essien could not have been worse. hope fully coentrao should be back and fit by then.

ddippset: losing one million left full backs is not as bad as losing one left full back, one right full back, and your two central defenders.

Johnpaul88: Do you mind them!. They 'll be talking as though they are the worst with injury. I know if they were to be like us, perhaps they 'll have UEFA change the transfer time and grant them special privilege to sign new players. They should be thankful they have their main players at the back still available. Imagine if those out were replaced by Pepe and Ramos, Mou will shit in his pants!

Essien didn't play that bad but I do agree that losing 3 full backs at the same time is disastrous.

usbcable:

he did all he could, but water don pass gar'ri for that day

usbcable:
if you loose 1 LB you have the option of another LB to fall back on
if you loose 1 RB you have the option of another RB to fall back on
if you loose 2 CB you have the option of another 2CB to fall back on
even if they are not top nothc as the first team choice.

but when you loose all options of a LB that is a disaster my dear.

its like loosing all your goal keepers all at once. that spot is irreparable.

pepe and ramos
we have an albiol and varane available.
unlike not having an option for marcelo/contrao/arbeloa

ddippset: you have nacho for that position. but unfortunately your mourinho wouldn't use him cus he's not 80kg HEAVY and 6 ft tall, and he wasn't bought for 20 million pounds. so you do have another left full back whom your coach doesn't have the ba11s to use. and FYI you will never be the same if you lose your 1st choice left full back, 1st choice RB and two 1st choice CD's. that is why we have 1st choice players and 2nd choice players. barca lost its 1st choice defence entirely while real madrid only lost a first choice left back. so i rather lose one million left backs than lose my first choice BACK FOUR.

FBS: was reading the La liga preview on soccernet a few days ago and the usual a.sz holes "pundits" stated as a matter of fact that barka will win while Real will most probably get a draw. Sometimes I wonder, who the heck are the pundits?

usbcable:

go back and check what they will have to say as in post match review.
they will say Real as expectedly won convincingly.

I dont take them seriously at all at all because they are never ever wrong. if barcelona had mistakenly drew or lost the match they will start to give all non existent reasons and factors that caused them to drop points most especially that their is in-fighting in the locker room amongst the players or tito has issues with some specific players thats why they are benched. they give all sorts of ridiculous reasons that never exist just to prove their after match predictions.

ddippset: but that's only natural, dont you think? we are all like that, you and me. we make predictions prior to a match, and when it doesnt go accordingly there's always a reason. it's not just with the pundits. the games ive predicted for barca havent always turned out the way i predicted.

dayokanu: Lucky lucky Madrid

Dortmund lost full points in the last min again to another dead ball
