We lost 2-1 to Utd early this morning. Shitty defending was our bane. For how long will Pep keep experimenting with Busi as CB? Thiago was once again the star of the show.

coogar:
that's the difference. stoke and birmingham will not play with pride like man utd, arsenal, chelsea or any of the big teams. . .
let's see how barcelona will play a team who attacks from centre of the field - let's see how barcelona will defend rory delap's throw-ins throughout 90 mins. no formation, no tactics. . . .just throw-ins after throw-ins, long freekicks after long freekicks then we will know how great barcelona are.
Barca vs Stoke grin ? Stoke won't even have the ball let alone threaten from a long throw. Barca can get stuck in when they want to. Osasuna, Bilbao, Gijon are just as rough as Stoke and Brum.

question remains. . . . . .can messi do it on a cold wet tuesday @ britannia stadium? how many times have arsenal won in stoke with their tiki-taka? grin
If Modric and Silva could do it then Messi will single handedly annihilate Stoke.
coogar:
then you don't watch football.
arsenal are the closest thing to barcelona in terms of style of play. the only difference is barcelona have more superior players to execute the style more effectively.
That'd be Villareal for me.

then never ever compare messi to ronaldo who has played at the britannia stadium against the fayes, shawcross', delaps, etc and conquered them. let him continue to beat the ones in europe who don't play dirty.
Who be Stoke City sef? Wetin dey Britannia stadium? Since when did Stoke become the yardstick for measuring great players?
I guess the likes of Crouch and Dempsey that have scored braces against Stoke should be regarded as the greatest players.

no one is disputing that - but can messi do it on a cold rainy tuesday @ stoke? when this question about messi was posed to wayne rooney. . .
rooney said. . .
'If you bring Xavi and Iniesta with him, yes. But it would be difficult, almost impossible for him to play as he does in Spain.
'The game is more physical here, going to the likes of Birmingham and Stoke away is very demanding. Cristiano Ronaldo is more suited to the English game than Messi. Cristiano is taller and good in the air.
Maybe Rooney is trying to tell us that Shawcross and Roger Johnson are better than Vidic, Ferdinand, Vermaelen, that Messi has taken to the cleaners.

Outstanding Thiago. . . 3 goals in 2 games. In him, we have got a goal-scoring, box to box midfielder. I really don't get the Xavi comparison, he plays more like Deco. Lots of dribbles, lots of movement. . . Let's see if the Cesc toasting will continue.
I think he has to work on his ball distribution and defensive play though if he's to become a main stay in the first team.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: The Galacticos (Real Madrid Fans Only) by medjai(m): 3:47pm On Jul 27, 2011
Madridistas have doctored the stats yet again. . . 6 freekicks? That's in all competitions and it should have been 5. 4 in the league and 1 in the CL(against Milan). They probably added the one against Sociedad which was clearly an own goal. Ronaldo's freekick conversion ratio in all competitions will be a lot worse than 1:13.

usbcable:
@bolded, kindly explain in reference to your 1:13.

as per casillas/ small boy valdes, even dem no born del bosque well make hin replace am thinkless of you. tongue tongue tongue
Means he had most shots from freekicks, 34 more than the closest player to him according to the stats. Not a surprise since he takes all of your freekicks.
As for Casillas, his days as Spain's no. 1 are numbered.

Some of our best youngsters weren't even there. Sergi Roberto is with the Spanish U-20 team in Colombia. Gerard Deulofeu is with the Spanish U-19 team in Romania and Oriol Romeu is set to move to Chelsea . . . Montoya, Muniesa, Bartra all didn't feature. This goes to show the depth of talent in our youth sides. Viva La Masia.

Meanwhile, we have to sell Jeffren fast, fast. He's super wack.

Opta Stats:
52 - Cristiano had 52 shots from direct free kicks in Liga BBVA this season (four goals), 34 more than any other player. . . So much for his freekick genius. 4 goals from 52 attempts. He has a freekick conversion ratio of 1:13. That should be one of the worst in Europe.

Valdes saved 82% of the shots he faced in LigaBBVA this season, the highest % in the competition (Casillas 71%, 17th). . . Now, we know who the better goalie is.

Now i am beginning to doubt your cule allegiances o grin

You should know that we don't hoof the ball. Not the Catalans. Not Spain, in fact. We simply don't play like that.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiki-taka
Lol. Sometimes, hoofing the ball is just the best option.
Against Madrid in the CL, Pedro lost the ball when we were passing the ball out of the defence and Madrid scored. Against Man Utd, Abidal lost the ball and we conceded - that was United's only chance in that game, we more or less gifted them that goal.
Quite a number of goals we concede are as a result of losing the ball when trying to pass it out of the back.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by medjai(m): 11:26pm On Jul 26, 2011
^^Yep. But this is more than just Pinto. I just don't know why we often choose to pass the ball out of defence when simply clearing it would by far be a better option. I know passing the ball out the back allows us build from the back but it's not everytime we can do this.
We're often too guilty of losing the ball when trying to pass it out the back and gifting our opponents the ball in advantageous positions. This was how we conceded against Madrid in the CL, by trying to pass the ball out of defence. It was the same way we conceded against Man Utd in the CL final(they had just that one shot on target - from the chance we gifted them and from which they scored) and there have been other numerous cases where we've been punished when trying to pass the ball out of defence.
It's just that Internacional decided to look a gift horse in the mouth. . . we would have been severely punished for trying to be too much of an aesthete(don't know if that's what I should blame it on).
We can't be doing this every time. We can only try to pass the ball out of the back when it's safe, that is, when there's a player in space to recieve it. In a case when there's no player in space to recieve the ball, f^ ckin clear the ball, shikena!

The difference between Messi's and Maradona's performance for country is simply trophies. As far as performances go, we can hardly fault Messi's performance for Argentina.
Two assits at the world cup. Everything positive for Argentina, Messi had a hand in it.
At the Copa, he was Argentina's best player. He has been single-handedly carrying Argentina on his back same way Maradona did.
He doesn't score as much goals for Argentina as he does for Barcelona but then, he plays as a trequartista for country, very different role from what he plays for club.

As Pep said, they will keep trying to sign Cesc until August 31st. If he eventually comes, the number he gets will be immaterial.

I hate Bojan for criticizing Pep at his farewell press conference. He failed to understand that Pep was indeed very good to him. He kept giving him playing time when it is clear he is underperforming. Now he broods for not playing at Wembley and Rome. He sucks!
I always thought the no. 4 shirt was being reserved for Cesc but let's just wait and see. Pep admitted there has been 0 progress so far as per signing Cesc.

As for Bojan, he's just a lil kid angry for not playing the CL final.

On a lighter note, Iniesta is wearing a new look. He has this new haircut. . .gives him a whole lot of attitude cool

Gerard Deulofeu has been lighting things up with Spain U-19 in the Euro U-19 championship in Romania. They beat Serbia 4-0 last night and he put up a wonderful performance. He provided two assits.

First pre-season game:
Hajduk Split 0 vs Barcelona 0. It was B team players mostly. Valdes, Keita, Afellay Villa and Thiago were the first team players that started. Iniesta, Abidal, Jeffren came on subs. Soriano also came on as a sub.

Thiago wore the no. 4 jersey. . . I don't know where this puts the Cesc deal now.
