I have modified it Sir. At times, our coaches (Guardiola and Tito) take too much/unnecessary risks. We currently have no defence at all. We only have defensive midfield, central midfield and attack. Our so-called full-backs are 'full-attackers' (lol). Madrid need the 3 points more than we do, so why should we go out and attack agressivly when we are defenceless? We should be more defence minded than attack. Even if the game is drawn, Barca are still the winner. Since we are not desperate for a win, we should solidify our defence and midfield. Stop them from scoring us by having a solid defense and keeping possession. It would get them frustrated and once they open up space in their defence, we strike them immediately.

Towards the end of the game, our attack could be rejuvenated by removing Bartra and bringing in Villa or Fabregas. This time, Madrid would be tired because they have been starved of possession. Though I'm a novice, but I don't think this thing is rocket science. Our coaches are so obsessed with attacking football, that they don't care about our defence; and that's always our undoing.

How come Chelsea 'parked the bus' against us last season, yet they scored three goals against us both home and away? Simply because we were so carried away in our attacking football that we forgot to take care of our defence.

I beg to differ on your points regarding the acquisition of DMFs over CBs as done by Pep and tito over the yrs. Its no news that the face of the game is fast changing and Barca being its brand ambassador is taking the leading role in the resource promotion. And on the contra-juxtaposition, attacking football explains the real nature of the game. Football is about 2 things: winning and entertainment. We both agree Barca scores high in these regards.
On having so many midfielders, the defensive ones at that; every true midfielder realises their duty is not solely in the middle, but as a link btw attack and defence. Hence, a true midfielder can naturally defend. But then, the problem most pundits raise centres on positioning. But again, if the run of play rolls through the middle of the pack, the chain can be intercepted, just as Busquets does intelligibly. He on his own part, vis-A-vis the tutoring by Pep has redefined the role of the holding midfielder from the brutal and haggard persona to one who plays centrally; intercepts opposition passes and picks out team mates with brilliant finding. As such, we do not have any problem playing with so many midfielders, rather in our attackers taking their chances at goal on the numerous occasions they come.

AjanleKoko: Who knows who might get sent off on Sunday?

Maybe Penaldo.

ddippset: last season barca won the super cups, the club world cup and the spanish fa cup(copa del rey). i do not agree that it was a 'worst' season or it was even a bad season. i think it was a good season. if barca loses the title to a the richest club in world football with great superstars like casilas, ronaldo, marcelo, pepe, ramos, higuain, benzema, de maria, ozil, kaka, alonso, khedira, and co, after dominating for 3 seasons, i dont think it was a failure. also if barca failed to retain the uefa champions league after making the semis for 5 straight seasons, it's not a bad season at all. it's either the bar had been raised to high or the detractors are being mischievous. so i think barca had a good season and messi had the greatest individual season in world football. i also hink that something needs to be done very fast about the defence. i have a gut feeling that soon that makeshift defence is going to boomerang. i hope abidal, pique and puyol come back 100% soon.

I cant agree less. You are spot on, mate.

Gossip tales from a soft-sell blog. #SMH

I think they have upped the data bandwidth.

ogazi007: Why is Batra not playing in this kind of game?i know its a CL game but we are going to qualify regardless of the outcome of this game.the boy need to start getting some minutes for the sake of his confidence.i hope Iniesta and Puyol both comes in the second half,we need puyol healthy against Madrid.

Tito knws best! I personally believe he's not ready for such game mentally. There's more to these games than meets the eye. He's up in the task for CDR games nonetheless.
And our club legend, Ronald Koeman in the news. He feels Penaldo should be awarded the Balon D'or simply because Messi has won it thrice. How silly!
It's seems everyone is now pleading on behalf of
Ronaldo. What's does Koeman really mean with this
comment, i can't imagine the comment comes out for so many reasons.
1. Because no one has won it 4times in a row?
2. Because past football legends don't want messi to go top of them?
3. Because they want to consulate Ronaldo?
4. Maybe the passion to do more won't be there
anymore for Ronaldo?
5. Because Messi will win all awards in Barca and not with any other club?
All these are not a Ǧ☺☺ϑ reason to deny Messi the
award for the 4th time.. So i think it's best other show more on the pitch. It would have been more better for Ronaldo if the award is base on collective
performance.. But it's individual award so Messi
deserve it once more sorry....

I beg to disagree with you. The movie is about the best there ever can be.

rudee007: Twilight Series! Way too boring

I can't agree less.

AjanleKoko: Very bad news, cules.
Thiago has suffered a knee injury and may be out for a while. Not likely to play again in 2012.

That's awful.

davies123: Sevilla surrendered?That's a joke!didn't u watch d match?Their win was stolen from them,plain robbery,as u can see barca players couldnt event celebrate d win cos they know they didn't deserve it!All barca fans shuld be ashamed to support a club like this!I used to be a barca fans as of 2010 but the constant cheating drove me away!its pathetic!U called this a win?

Typical beer parlour thought-line. Not your fault tho, blame it on DSTV.

The Sevilla team and bench cannot believe what they
are seeing at the Sanchez Pizjuan. They have
surrendered a 2-0 lead here to the league leaders,
who look set to steal all three points against the
odds!

How much for the agency and agreement?

illitrate: I have only two packs and I was told naija girl date only 6 packs guys.
Am about to move back to naija and would want the best babe to date.

wHAT a funny post to help unwind after a tough day at work. Guy, 2 pack or 6 pack, pack na pack. Just be confident and define your own unique style.

bennyraz: if the girl being hugged didn't notice dat her BF was actually kissing her friend.. then it's film trick

Abi oooo. More like a scene from a silly Nollywood script.

Thanks peeps!

tjskii: How much u go pay me

AjanleKoko: next game is against Granada.
Bartra will have to play. If Tito shows up with Song and mascherano in CB again, I will shyt myself

Batra should feature in that!

honeric01: Oh bro, that's what i actually meant..just that i put the 3 before the 2

Thats cool, as long as we're both looking out for workable solutions to the plight of our dear club. I MADE dis suggestion on the Fc Barcelona website.

AjanleKoko: Nothing like a 'false' nine or false 10 in that formation.
Xavi is the 10, and Messi is in a traditional 9 position. Midfield is already crowded so Messi doesn't drop deep anymore.
By the way, what is a 'false 10'?

Ok let me break it down for you, so you get my points clearly. In the formation i profered, the false 10 is Cesc. Agreed, Xavi is the natural 10 in the formation; the role of Cesc in the formation can be likened to the Guardiola formation that sees Iniesta playing on the flank as a winger. We all hated that, but many people fail to see the tactical nous in such a pattern of play. Cesc, in my formation would play as a twin 10 (the false 10). His role would be a double pivot play that would see him alternate between his midfield duties and also play as the 3rd man in attack. Hence, the formation naturally expects him to either create a goal or score when the opportunity presents itself (the opportunity would come amass). He will have the opportunity to achieve both, if and only if he plays to the plan.

Messi on the other hand will play deep; his natural false 9 position, whereby he draws deep to dominate possession and also cause the opposition defense a whole lot of trouble. Him falling deep will confuse the opposition defense and lay them to complacency. BY this formation, he would see less of the ball on the average occasions he has to stay up as the lone striker and thus, do the damage when it matters the most. The formation would see him score a goal or two, and possibly create goal scoring opportunities for Pedro (playing out wide) and Cesc, who would play as the quasi-forward.

honeric01: Just like my 4-3-2-1 formation.. (4-5-1)

This is really going to work.

A more conservative 4-2-3-1 should do it for us.

V.V ---------------
Alves---- Mascherano----------Batra--------- Adriano
--------------------Song --------------Busquets---------------
------- Cesc ------- Xavi ---------- Pedro-----------------
--------------------------Messi -----------------------------------

Here, Song plays real deep more like an advanced CB to cover for likely flops from the two CBs and break down the opposition attacks. This is so because we have 2 full backs that poach upfront. Busquets makes up for a quasi-trequista to hold up possession and allow Xavi alternate between his CMF duties plus linking up with attack. Cesc plays as a false 10, with Pedro playing out wide to pin back the full bks and be efficient with his work rate by tracking bk when necessary. Messi plays is usual false 9. He can hold up isolated and hit the opposition when it matters.
We should be ok with the above IMO. And as the game proceeds, we can play a fancied 3-5-2 and switch bk when in danger.

[quote author=Sky-walker]See haters. So i guess its Dbanj who told Kanye west that he has to stay in front?[/quote]Exactly my point! There is someone responsible for directing photoshoots in every studio. This applies everywhere and every sensible photo director would look to place the following factors into consideration when setting a group of ppl for a photoshoot:
1. Height difference. The shorter persons come ahead first. Here, Dbanj is of good height.
2. Looks. This is the killer factor. And let someone point out someone else on the Good music label with better looks dn our Dbanj! Aside Common, the other dudes, Kanye inclusive are thug looking and less photo material.
3. Aesthetic appreciation. Here, the director considers the fan appeal. What do the fans look forward to see? Dbanj is about the newest and unknown face to the American scene; what better way to project him dn put him in the front!

And for the few seconds thermo-humming in the track featured, what were you haters thinking? Were you expecting Dbanj to rap or sing in pidgin English? Guys, cut the guy some slack. He's doing us proud and we should support him. Many of us are just blinded by tribal sentiments and more.

Toure Yaya is pure class!

AjanleKoko: Real Madrid vs Man City.
Now there is a tasty match-up there. Though City are less than impressive, and I strongly doubt their European ability. Now they have Javi Garcia and Maicon, maybe they might show some ambition. I would still give Tuesday's game to Madrid though, home advantage and all.

I see a one all draw as both teams would look to share the spoils.

tjskii: Eheenn wat d heck ,dts why I say political office holders shud swear by traditional deities,sango,amadioha and d likes,these mini gods are vengeful and quick,see wat hapnd in dis case na
Poor girl,may her soul RIP

I share your point. And some will say the traditional process is barbaric, as if to say the borrowed religions(xtianity and Islam) are better off.

honeric01: This is actually my prayers for La liga, to be as unpredictable as the NPL lol
