[La Liga - 16 April 2011] Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona

Time's kick off?

9?

In UK yes I'd think so.

Sí.

Hope I'm not watching it in a depressed mood though.

I hope you are.

Kyro, is it true that you are shit at predicting matches? ..or was it the opposite?

Just make sure we win today.

I'm a jinx apparently, whatever I say goes different.



Barcelona will win.

Busquets, Milito, not yet 100% Puyol...hmmm

Not sure who will play centre back, I say play Fontas and let him beast.

We have the devil on our side.

fontas>milito anyway

I'm better than Milito tbf. I miss the old Gabi, he used to be sensational.

What's happened to Bojan recently, still as highly rated as two years ago?

Nah, he's been a lot worse under Guardiola...probably the only player Guardiola hasn't improved really. Although he's looked better recently.

Out for the season with an injury.

I'm thinking threadworthy.

Bojan actually looked slightly better in the last few weeks even though it would of been difficult for him to perform any worse. Big blow for himself the injury.

Yeah he did, it's hard for him though. Under Rijkaard he played a lot more games so that's probably a big reason why he's not progressed.

Kyro will finally get a prediction right today.

Any starters suspended/injured for this match apart from Puyol?

Abidal and Bojan injured, Masch banned

Puyol is fit though.

I'd go with this:


Don't rush Puyol, and keep Milito out at all costs.

Same, maybe Adriano in for Maxwell though.

Has Busquets been comfortable at centre back?

Better than Milito.

Tonight will be a big test. He's looked comfortable every time except against Shakhtar, looked a bit shaky with the speed of their counters so could be exposed against Benzema, Ronaldo and Di Maria...

I haven't watched Barca B this season, but I find it strange how Pep hasn't tried to bed in at least of the CB's they have into the 1st team given the CB crisis. Muniesa, Fontas, and Bartra are pretty good from what I hear.

I guess he feels it's a lot more risky to bed in a centre back than attacking players. He calls up Fontas to the senior squad a lot but never seems to play him...
