squid worshipper!! Its only a half dimwit brain that will pipe low to bandy the supposed predictions of an animal (anyway your names are even the same, animal/ hannimal) that lives in the water as the future outcome of a 90 minutes homo sapien' activity.

Surely Madrid qualified on ur PSP1

@Holydonkey 

bloody sule! u think say I be one of those waka pass posters for NL? all time cumulatively I am one of the 5 most regular posters in the Sports section and never run away even if I have lost a fat bet, so why should I run from a Barca thread that I have been chief tormentor of in the past 5/6 years . . .are u drunk on your own urine? 

If you didnt need to see specsavers u would have noticed I hardly posted in the last 1 week or thereabouts so stop showing us your soiled yansh  ;

In your delusional state and numb mind, you expect me to notice the number of posts you have racked up ? I have never clicked on your profile to even see what the components of your head looks like and surely dont ever expect me to condescend that low, and the cumulative you are talking about is made up of such verbosity you have been spewing on this thread and others?

You are simply tormenting your ignorance and surely it adds or removes nothing to the wellbeing of Barcelona or any of its supporters; and for ''5-6 years'' of being on NL you still remain an anonymous on a site with just only 678,969 members as at this morning, you are surely a pathetic scenario to be used as a case study.

I am a busy fellar and will respond to you when i have the time on my hand.

Clap for your self

After the 1st leg, you scampered away to ur miserable assnal thread, after today you sure must retire to ur old peoples home.

medjai:

We've one foot and four toes in the final, but we're not there yet. It's not done and dusted yet. The key thing for tonight's match is to keep it tight at the back. Madrid are coming out to chase the game and will field a very attacking line up. Madrid have a very fearsome attack and are very capable of scoring. We must not give them any hope of a comeback by conceding.
If Alves picks up a Yellow, it would be the second time he'd be missing a CL final. I pray he stays clean in tonight's game, maybe, he gets subed early.
2 DM's? I've thought of it too. But with all these hulabaloo about Mou's negative tactics, I don't think Pep would consider it. They'd say he's being cautious. Playing with two DM's is not a defensive tactic, even Spain plays 2 DM's - Alonso and Busquets. But at Barca, we have a reputation to protect.

I will hate to see Alves miss out in the finals in the event that Providence smiles on us.
perhaps Pep should tinker with our upfront and get Messi to the far right, in that way he will keep Marcelo busy and we know Marcelo's defending pedigree , at least Alves will have minimal contact with the flying chap then Messi can always cut in to his favorite leftie and unleash terror at Iker; apart from our Tiki Taka, we should aim shots at goal too, we need an early goal against them.

Biscuits please should stay on his feet tonight except when its absolutely necessary to fall

Hi 5 Cules,

As the disciplinary bumhaha continues, UCL semi's on my mind.

I just gleaned from our website now that Abidal and Iniesta are back in the squad and included for tomorrow's fixture.

Mehn, I am one happy fellar, however I slightly feel Abidal is a bit rushed but I guess the good doctors know better than I do.

Having an Alves, Puyi, Pique and Abidal again in a line up, omg, the Lord is good. I know its not our pattern but assuming we play 2 DMF's moro??

Meanwhile I have a slight nudge that Alves may collect a second yellow tomorrow or get matching orders, I just pray he doesnt mistime any tackle and keeps his head down. An early goal scored by any against Madrid will put us in the driving seat for a cruise controlled game.

Welcome to Lion-El-Messi's hunting ground, The Camp Nou.

We are Barcelona

Goodmorning guys,

Am using my phone and so, I may not be able to insert quotes and give credits to fellars that made some vital points.

I guess its a good outing for the reserve team and some revelations about individual performances.

I have noticed quite a gap in the marshalling of our defence and proceedings in Puyi's and Pique's absence, no one steps up to berate and chides each other over perceived mistakes, the best I see is darting off furtive glances, it spells good for team undersanding etc but I guess these guys desire to see more action in ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ 1st team therefore the earlier someone starts displaying leadership qualities, the better. Worthy of note is Pinto's drop dead saves but most often he thinks through his other faculties, same kinda of kids play was done in d CDR finals but we got away with it.

If we had won yesterday and gets a point from espanyol to guarantee ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ title, I guess ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ entire Barca B wldve been used to prosecute ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ rest of ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ closed campaign but I think ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ reverse is the case now.

But hey, they lost @ home, we lost away and so what,

On to ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ next one,

guys,

the world is seeing that Portuguese translator the way he really is, cynical and hates loosing fairly. The UK Telegraph and Italian Press has it on him. I cant fit shout again

On to the next one, Anoeta .

Andres and Puyi out for the trip, Gerard Deulofeu from the youth team, what is his pedigree guys??

not even a follow up message or link to watch the ceremony

Nija folks na waaahh ooo

The couple looks awesome, what an Institution that the Brits have preserved since ages

mama-gee:

Seriously, I have been watching Messi very closely recently and I can't help to notice that he's indeed overrated. . .

Some of his goal scoring skills can only suit him in the spanish league alone, nowhere else.

He can't do many of the things he does in the spanish league in the EPL.

Believe me!

Madame!!!! , and when he leaped high above Ferdinand and Van Der Sar in the UCL finals and scored the 2nd goal, it was a liga match

Your argument and its ilk will never ever hold any water, a hopeless teen and his family who Mourinho would have over looked was taken into and embraced by Barcelona via Carles Rexach and supported all through, and your Nigerian brain is expecting him to jump ship and play in the rugby epl in order to satisfy your orrgasmicc comparison with CR7?

Its the height of absurdity and silly reasoning, you should bring up a new idea or you just stop posting your mundane argument.

fools rush where angels fear to thread, typical Nigerian mentality, run him down cos he is successful. Arm chair anonymous internet browsers.

I guess Kolo Toure started his drug habit from his days at gaynner club, why are you guys silent on a proven case?

You all will grow old with mucor between your teeth waiting for a positive result, as always granny mama gee you keep on exhibiting your low level of ignorance.

Please research before posting

@Holydante

And then we will watch ManU against Barcelona to see if Real are the only team that parks the bus when playing Barca.
You cannot beat them with expansive football. It is impossible. If every team had a Messi, no one will park the bus.
They will turn you to shreds. How many games do you think Barca will win if they didn't have Messi?

Tactical brilliance dictates that you devise a pattern of play according to the prevailing condition.

A new convert to the game of footie reading the above will take it that Man U has never squared up against Barcelona before

We take it one game at a time bruv, before Wembley, there is a return fixture, so Camp Nou beckons; however SAF surely will never employ JM's eyesore tactics, its a one-off final and it has everything to play for.

As an aside, what is you guys fixation with Lionel Messi and why do you think we should not have him in our ranks? did we poach him from any club? did we out price him from Jmouth? The club in her wisdom took a risk on a teen and his family that Mourinho would have spat at if he was given the opportunity and now you are making such a distatasteful remark about if he was not in our Team, why wont he be in our Team, I ask you

Please listen to yourself before you post

below is an excerpts from Ian Chadband's UK's telegraph Chief Sports Correspondent, they are not part of UEFA and surely not in the payroll of Barca, its quite a long one but it makes for an objective reading,

''The only problem was that in this quite wretched third chapter of football’s most hyped tetralogy it was obvious once again that Mourinho is still only truly the boss of cynicism, the master of stifling and strangulation, the prince of risk aversion.

Off you go: Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is sent off to the stands by the fourth official at the Santiago Bernebeu
Yes, it had to be all about him, him, him again. He will moan to the high heavens about Real being reduced to 10 men once again and he will somehow doubtless try to take the moral high ground over his own sending off for his sarcastic applause when Pepe was dismissed.
Of course, as ever, he even milked his own shame as he wandered haughtily away from the technical area.
Yet does the man ever ask himself why so many games involving his sides degenerate in this way? Real regularly end with 10 men against Barça because Mourinho knows the only way to beat them is to smack them out of their princely stride.
Does he care? Of course not. And so we should have no sympathy with him when Barcelona, the team trying to play all the football out there and worthy winners through Leo Messi’s genius, seek to finish the job next week.

Thanks to Mourinho, instead of the beautiful game we might have witnessed in our fond dreams, we had another Mou team, packed with juicy talent, set up to scrap, harry and force Barcelona into a street fight.
So we had Lassana Diarra snapping at Messi and knocking him over like a prizefighting trophy. So we had Pedro feigning serious injury under an innocuous but typically niggly Alvaro Arbeloa challenge – yes, of course, Barca were not angels either with all the diving and absurd theatrics.
And so we had an almighty melee at half-time with stewards and players all involved, the sort of fracas, which even though Barca’s substitute keeper Pinto ended up being the one sent off for slapping Arbeloa, had Mourinho’s aggravating fingerprints all over it.
Make no mistake. Only one man was responsible for setting the agenda for a poisonous Clasico with his unworthy wind ups of Guardiola the previous day. The game was just as ugly as the prelude with most of the attractive, ambitious fare being conjured by Barça, making the neutral yearn for Guardiola to have his day.
You sensed even Cristiano Ronaldo, Real’s most positive influence, was as frustrated as hell with the approach, at one point barking petulantly as team-mates who weren’t supporting him.
For long periods, you could only feel the real ‘puto amo’ out there was little Xavi Hernandez, being his usual dazzling puppeteer self.
The sweetest moment of the evening was when he and Messi bewitched Real’s defence, requiring Casillas to make a dazzling save from Xavi’s strike.
But football deserved something so much better than this. After the verbal punch-up between Pep and Jose – or the exploding quiet man versus the Alberto Einstein of the press conference room – we should have been focusing on a more authentic, appetising sporting duel between the two best footballers on the planet, not a nah-na-na-na-na playground spat between two supposed grown ups who just can’t help themselves.
Even Spain’s World Cup-winning coach, the former Real boss Vicente del Bosque had been left wondering aloud whether the atmosphere surrounding the matches was now becoming so poisonous that it might “seep into the international team dressing room.”
Yet for once, Mourinho’s outrageous pre-match approach backfired. After the news of Guardiola’s outburst had been relayed to his players, they apparently gave him a spontaneous round of applause when he returned to the team hotel.
So, perhaps the timing of the riposte actually was a deliberate ploy to charge up his charges, who had seemed fatigued and well below their peerless best of late.
Last night, they were the “------- bosses” and if there is any justice, Messi’s 51st and 52nd goals of the season will set up a Manchester United-Barcelona final at Wembley. Mr Mourinho, on this evidence again, we can do without.

usbcable:

within the last few days
I observed a great sense of fear from the ranks of Barcelona supporters here
most talked so much about trying to get a draw, and only a tiny handful had envisaged they could actually win.
now they won 2-0
the song has suddenly changed

Sadly I couldn't see the match, but feelers I get point to the fact that the red card's were undeserved, and sadly my barcelona colleagues here even the most respected ones amongst them refuse to acknowledge it. and that says alot about their perceived courageousness.

But just as my very good friend Pharoh said ''its not over yet'' and I believe so.

and just as they were drooling about before the return leg of the league classico about giving us another ''manita'', they've started yanking about again like poisoned ivy's without a remedy.

its just amazing how a single man can so much put fear on a whole myriad of barcelona fan/player/COACH/mgt.

Mourinho is indeed a great person, and even in defeat he will forever remain ''the special one''

Okwu nkasiobi indeed.

Surely, there were concerns and worries considering the fact that we had a make shift back line added to Iniesta's late minute injury scare. You fail to recognize that JM's ill advised rants against Pep played a part in firing up the players, it baffles me you said you didn't watch the match and yet you sufficiently concluded on the feelers you got about the appropriateness of the dished out cards. Pls i advocate that you should watch the match.

After the 5-0 thrashing, it dawned on Mou that he cant play Barca  fairly and all square and he resorted to the shameful acts of Pepe and his 3 DMFs, you may need to see CR7's frustration at his teams defensive attitude when he was left alone in the Barca triangle. I agree that there were also theatrics from Barca players especially Busquests but if your team had kept their feet on the ground, you wouldn't have seen such retaliation.

Your opinion that MOU put fear in Barca is laughable, below is an excerpts from Ian Chadband's UK's telegraph Chief Sports Correspondent, they are not part of UEFA and surely not in the payroll of Barca, its quite a long one but it makes for an objective reading,

UEFA is not hearing all the whinnings on NL, the best way to get attention? all of you whiners line up on 3rd mainland end of Oworo(at least i have counted about 40 of you) and at the count of H A L A M A D R I D, take a dive into the lagoon.

I bet you the news will get to UEFA faster than anything.

^^That wasn't even worthy of a red card at all. . .

The referee is crazy!

and finally you have proved the shrink's doctors observation about your personality, you are hereby officially certified as the most delusional NLer and should be locked up with Ghaddaffi in the same bunker for 90 days and after that, you will be perpetually remanded in the Romance section never to be seen in the sports section again.
*bangs his gavel on the table*

mama-gee:

Bullcrap!!!

It was 11 against 10 in a final. . .

Btw, Cristiano ronaldo has proved himself in two different leagues while messi has been hanging out with his little friends in barcelona since he was 5.

That's why he can't do anything whenever he's wearing an Argentina jersey.

If you doubt me, watch a video of what happened in Germany vs Argentina in a 4-0 thrashing, World Cup 2006, Lionel messi 0 goals. . .2010 World Cup- 0 goals.

So much for the best player in the world. . .


Cristiano ronaldo, 2006 World Cup- 4 goals, 2010 World Cup, 1 goal.


That alone should tell you who is the better player.

I have always had the feeling you are tottering on the brink of being categorized as delusional , must you always display your ignorance about issues

Cules,

can anyone get to the total Barca site and upload the video of CR7 getting crazy and lost in the Barca triangle, its some hilarious stuff and shld be here.

I even had some respect for CR7 yesterday cos he stayed true to the game and was positive all through, his frustrating shout to his players to assist in closing down Barca triangle was a clear indication that he didn't fancy his coach's game approach. I bet if Christiana is allowed to bare his mind, i bet JM will not like the outcome.

Pls someone upload the videos

eyoniggar:

No wonder wonder why some Nigerians will never make it in life. Hating unnecessarily, where I watched the match, there were only 2 supporters
including me. The rest were just useless haters. There and everywhere else. Ogazi u dey bleep up, u better call me.

I share the same sentiments with you, whenever Barsa looses any game, i congratulate my opponents fans who are my friends and acquaintances, they will continue to mock and mock but I just carry on do my normal stuff but man, i have never seen so much bitterness and hatred, not even to acknowledge what this team does, its so disgusting but F DA HECK, who cares about the raving-rantings of JM groupies and perennial under achieving gaynners

Less things to worry about, if such Madrid tactics was used against assnal, Assenhole Wengay will perpetually grant block buster interviews, against Barca, its is the norm.

Go to blazes yall whinners

Thanks Oagzi, that's was why I put a caveat of "I stand to be corrected there cos I just cant remember any.

Thanks pals for all ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ comments, I took a nice trip to ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ Los Blancos thread and it dawned on me on ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ caliber of folks we have been on this thread, even in defeat we dont shy away from discussions.

I sign out with this lines from UK Telegraph,

"Messi picked up the ball 50 yards out and just ran and ran, control and determination, taking him past Diarra, Ramos, Albiol and Marceloa before sliding the ball past Casillas. That wasn’t a dribble, that was an odyssey".

Cules, ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ fellar that did this is just 23, jst 23 yrs old.

I thank God for Lionel Messi, I'l appreciate him ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ day I get ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ priviledge.

Good nyte folks

Omg,

Has this thread being closed or what? On a night of such import and Y☺u can hardly get any comment from the so-called Madristas, its apparent we have JMouth, Christiana and more gaynner groupies here more than ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ real deal.

Y☺u see ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ difference between Barca faithfuls and fake istas, we loose and we brainstorm on what went wrong on our thread and we teach ourselves, CR7 fails to show up, mamagee looses her purpule-coloured apetite to write empty arguements.

Pls be informed that a proposal has been put forward for 2 yrs imprisonment with hard labour and no fine option for any mention of Messi and Chrsitiana in ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ same sentence

FYI, did Y☺u all notice how the fans @ d Bernabeu jeered @ their team for allowing Barca such possesion? Its a sign of things to come, by ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ time your crazy BOD starts their own, ya'll will hide your tails and follow JMouth to Citeh.

Sure next week is a must win for both sides but ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ real Madrid faithfuls knows that Y☺u guys suck recently and given ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ options Y☺u have, the translator should have fielded a stronger team.

Hope neck-grouping-table-shape-foreheaded-Adebayor has not introduced Darken Rahl kind of moves in footie tackling!!

We are Barcelona, Y☺u are failure madrid

Hi Cules,

I really do not bother about past statistcs, can any team come out and tell us that it has not been receipients of some margins of error officiating in ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ past?

Fast foward to ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ present and todays contentious match, Can JMouth tell ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ world that a table-forehead-shaped Ade is better than a Kaka, Higuain, and Benze?? No out and out striker in ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ 1st half and Y☺u have a 250milla bench? He got it all wrong and and met a stiff resistance in a ref that knows his onions.

Come to think of it, we played and won ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ last 4 classicos prior to his moving to Madrid with his ghana-must-go, all those wins were clean with no reds (I stand to be corrected), why is it that since he packed in, red cards started flying hither-thither?? He was extremely lucky to lay his hands on d CDR, if Abidal had been around and Villa was @ 50% best, it would have been a forgotten issue.

I look forward to Di Stefano et all having a running battle to save ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ leagcy of Madrid, this is no soccer from Real Bullocks

Y☺u are asking what Pepe did? Its obvious Y☺u were using your village twitter account to follow ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ match.

When Y☺u refuse to play ball,that's what Y☺u get,JM is not a prophet and he consistently talks about his team playn 10 against 11, he sure knows ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ outcome of doing rugby than playing.

Y☺u are all a bunch of silly Mourinho groupies, dnt fret,he'l soon leave Real Cows and jump ship to ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ premiership so that Y☺u guys will continue ur idolising of a negative minded coach that ruins ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ beautiful game.

We are Barcelona

Hi 2 Cules,

I am beginning to belive that JM is a big fool who doesnt know when to shut ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ hole in his face. ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ real followers of Madrid can attest to how that title hungry translator is killing off d Madrid legacy of attacking footie, I cant wait to see ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ Media war between him and d Madrid wizards on ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ Board. Shame on him for such continued negative tactics. Even CRY became frustrated in ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ 1st half,was that ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ Gaffers game plan?

His comment after ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ match is a no brainer,Pep shld do well and leave him to his folly, we have nxt week although I know ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ lads would rather loose 0-5 to hercules than throw away this lead.

We gave it to them right there in their home even with our make shift backline, Alves got his yellow and pipped down and survived till d end of d game, foolish Adebayor resorted to neck strangling, Ramos, another big fool that owes his world cup medal to ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ Barca players is a disgrace, just simply play football, that's all we asked.

Where are ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ JMouth groupies, perennial under achieving gaynners (an assnal team wldve lost this match and blamed it on ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ absence of missing players) and octopus worshippers, I bet mama gee won't come to this thread again till next year.

Villa upped his game tonight and can we all see ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ no-nonsense approach that Puyi instills in ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ team, even d madrid attack hardly flowed through his flank and I bet Y☺u we wldve being lax @ d back if he wasnt there.

Messi, ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ ever-going incomparable comparison between christiana and Messi should be made to attract fines and imprisonment concurrently.

Where are ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ other cules, JP88,Stealth et all,

We are Barcelona

Where are my culesssssss

We are are ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ Bernabeu, Mmesoma Messi.

I need to confess all ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ cules that were doubting b4.

Where are ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ squid worshippers??

We are Barsa

Happy Easter Guys,

@ddippiset, I feel Y☺u bruv,but ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ 1st half display of yesterday reminded me of ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ expectations and pattern of game that we all have come to associate with Barcelona.

‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ mistimed passes, loss of possesion, heavy touches (Jefferen was ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ worst culprit tho he did one gd thing for Villa), and lame crosses (Affelay) made me squirm minute after minute and Y☺u could see Pep so agitated and little wonder ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ changes made by Pep in d 2nd half.

In a nutshell, Barcelona can ever hardly alter their game,it has to be Tiki-Taka and possesion footie with slow patient build up, it is what ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ adoring fans have come to watch and I confess its also the main reason I pay above N10k to the South African cable coy every month.

Masch made darting crosses off his position to shave off dangers, he won my admiration, Maxwell, Maxwell, Maxwell, save for one or two tackles, I am @ loss as to what he really brings into ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ tact, no attack initiation, hez slow and always invites tackles and loss of possession, predictable in summary.

We are Barcelona.

Hi 5 Cules,

Ajanle,your last post is a masterpiece man, I have nothing else to complain about, onward, forward looking,and relishing what this team has given us and continues to deliver in terms of pure entertainment and results.

@Stealthy, that old lady with pinky handwriting(not ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ real Giants of Turin oo) needs not be responded to, she is one hell of an empty barrel and we all know the outcome when empty hollows try to produce a sound just like the lilly-liverd-trophy-shy-team they support in their fantastic epl that season-in season-out mathematically waits for ‎​d̶̲̥̅̊ cup to be handed over to them, Y☺u dont reason with internet nuisance.

Osasuna beckons, and perhaps I'l bow to Y☺u guys superior reasoning that Villa should be given playing time,who knows what'l happen today.

We remain Barcelona

Ok, we can agree to disagree.

Mou is a smart coach & he has figured out a way to use this Real Madrid team to stop us as he did with Inter last year. He tried out his ultra-defensive tactics in the 1st half of the league game and switched to a less defensive one in the 2nd half. For this final, he kept the ultra-defensive all thro and it was quite effective - we didn't get any shot on goal in the 1st half. Even in the 2nd half, we didn't create chances as we normally would.

Fortunately, this isn't the biggest prize. It's up to pep to figure out a way to beat Madrid (ultra-defensive or not). We must knock them out of the UCL.

Hi, the-man-in-the-most-secluded-zone, i surely do believe that all the hullabaloo (no dis intended) about being ultra defensive et al can and will always be rubbished if clinicality and chances are taken by the opposing team, for a team to seat back and soak in the pressure and await for a counter surely wont always come out tops, if such a game is fairly officiated i bet you, the ultra defensive minded team will take several yellows and @ least 1 red.

Like you pointed out, Pep must find a way around this, its becoming an unpalatable experience in the face of this packing the bus syndrome, i think one of your earlier posts made reference to trying out outside shots which may give rise to deflections etc, i stand by your statement

Hi 5 Cules,

We lost and so? we just take the lessons that need to be learnt and move on, the good thing is that it will surely give an air of invincibility to Los Blancos and we sure have to come back and do the thing in CL under the radar. Like someone said, it seemed they did the treble already, but hey, since 08, i guess its high time they celebrate something, congrats to the real true Madridstas and not Mou groupies and half baked L'Arse fanatics (a team that has thrown away 13 points from a winning position and still wants the epl to be handed over to them smh, Shelsi has taken its rightful 2nd position, I digress)

I dont have to whine about things that cannot be changed but i guess UEFA refs wont take it kindly to the stampings and rough play that JM and his team exhibits, and JM predictions about always playing a man down played out again, why wont they get red cards when they hackle and hack players to the ground.

Its just a cup final, we must not loose sight of our league position and the CL tie.

An side is our surprising weak link up front, perhaps Villa and Fernadont Scoreless eat same kinda delicacy cause its just mind baffling how chances upon chances are blown away by Villa, i so much expected Pep to sub him but he knows best why he left him that on. Perhaps he needs to be started from the bench on occasions

Our back line surely is missing Abi and Puyi, our corners were wasted floating them in, we have a philosophy about intelligent players that come in small packs but the back line should not be compromised in any sense. Puyi is advancing in age and we dont even know what will be the state of Abi's prof, career after this, we sure need 1 or 2 additions to the back-line or maybe use our B team guys to blend in and pep had better rest these key players against Osasuna so that they can be refreshed mentally and physically against next week.
