Honestly, I can't see Cesc starting unless Iniesta sits out injured again (which he probably will, but still). I would love to have him, but I don't know how we're going to play him alongside Xavi and Iniesta because we're certainly not putting Cesc as a DM, and I don't see Iniesta playing on...

I'd say that we are the CLOSEST to the Total Football in the 70s, but it's nearly impossible to master it because it is a 40-year-old system that was utilised when different tactics were dominant. We have players embedded in certain positions, for example Xavi, and we really don't see Xavi...

I agree. The only one who seems to be able to play the position other than Busquets is Keita, but he doesn't look natural at it. I think Marquez could fit into that spot, but his quality has gone down dramatically. Cesc definitely won't play in that role (he can, but it would be a waste of an...

No, that's Peter Crouch, mate (due to his freakishly tall build, but still)

I don't think Abidal is staying at all, mates. He's lost his form over the past year, so I would assume that Pep will have a three-man race going for the LB spot between Adriano, Abidal, and Maxwell. One will be the "starter," another will be the back up, and the third will probably have to...

I'm sorry, I voted for Spain when I meant to vote for Barcelona...oh wait, they're the same thing. :)

We already have two...no thanks.

Whoever scores the first goal will win. Most likely Spain.

We'll see how David Villa does in the first half of the season ;)

European Championship.

Is this lad in any way related to Paulino?

I think he like Abidal for Barcelona. More defensive duties because Sergio Ramos plays much like Dani Alves, and Capdevilla has been wonderful in that role.

I like how he can cut inside and shoot like Messi often does, but does anyone else miss him running down the wing and actually CROSSING the ball? He has a terrible right-foot cross.

Busquets is fantastic at his job. Clean passes, reads opponents well, and tall enough to drop back to centre-back position. Plus, he's from La Masia.

He could have been a little less selfish, but you really can't ask more when he created the best chance in the match when he got a killer ball to David Villa. Great player, that lad. Just needs a little more experience, that's all.

Johan Cruijff. Best European player ever, mate. Miroslav Klose. Great header, and he does a front flip.

It's just his outside behaviour, how he jogs around and looks lazy on every touch. I still think we should give him another season and hope for the best.

I would love to keep Ibra if he could get any faster...he is just so slow!

I want to see Rafa Marquez stay and possibly fill in the DM spot as a back-up and let Sergi start.

I wonder how Oezil would do if he was given that right wing "Messi" role, seeing that he has a good amount of pace and a great shot, and is also left footed. Messi's been class as a 9 while Ibra was injured, and I think Villa-Messi-Oezil would definitely be something to watch.
