La Liga 11/12

Bet they just wished it worked last night when the demolished one of the best teams in La Liga, better luck next time I suppose.

If that's aimed at me, I didn't watch last night's game.

Thiago completed the most passes last night

He must love playing against Villarreal.

He was brilliant last night. After all your crying about Cesc blocking his place in the first team.

Indeed. I should know better by now than to question Pep.

It was a 3-4-3 on paper, but it changed to a 3-5-2 at a lot of points in the game. They had 3 solid defenders that stayed back with Masch and Abidal occasionally overlapping. But all the magic was in the midfield to be honest, they we're playing ridiculous football last night.

Whenever they passed it out the back, Pedro and Alexis would track back closer to the midfield line and dribble it forward to bring the team up with them and spread Villareals back line. While Seydou, who played an incredible game and got ZERO credit, Cesc/Messi and Iniesta and Thiago opening up and creating space constantly out numbering the midfield.

They we're moving like clock work yesterday, If anyone thinks Barca doesn't do a lot of running since they don't lose the ball much, its actually the opposite, It's BECAUSE they move so much off the ball is the reason why they always have it.

yeah, I'm proud to be from the same nation as him, he's Estonian too like me

Who captains Barca when Puyol and Xavi don't play?

Valdes I think

Pedro León > Getafe
Gago > Roma
Drenthe > stay but won't be used at all, fucking idiot wants to stay because of the weather, fame, money even though he doesn't get to play, he won't be registered.
Lass looks like he'll stay, he rejected an offer from Milan today.

I used to love him, what a fall from grace.

Diego to Atletico confirmed. Was coming for a while though. He's a spunky little player, should help their squad.

De Guzman to Villarreal

Nice backup, I suppose.

Didn't know where to post this

Why would he be backup?
