Lol. Laporte doesn't go forward to mark messi, there is then 2 defenders free to mark rafinha and suarez without leaving gaps. NO GOAL. Because he follows messi he forces his paired CB to make a (incorrect) decision=goal. It isn't difficult to understand. The after match pundits said the exact...

It wasn't a debate in the first place. I don't need your help, don't worry. Aren't you the guy who persistently said that Pedro was better than Neymar? No offence, but I think I'll take your tactical analysis with a pinch of salt. Everyone else in this forum can understand how the CB...

Yeah it's not obvious from the picture. In the picture it just looks like terrible defending/communication between the CBs. But when you watch the video you see that the CB was completely out of position as Messi came deeper to look for the ball, which gave Suarez all the space in the world...

I'm not one of the people on here who thinks the world revolves around Messi. But you said that the goal had nothing to do with him, when having 3 defenders marking the best player in the world does help everyone else. In the exact same way in which I give suarez lots of credit for giving Messi...

As if the "We didn't want him anyway" comments by Van Gaal about pedro weren't bad enough, now Manchester United seem determined to embarrass themselves even more by making up rumours linking themselves to every big player they wish they had.

Two bilbao defenders, who up until then had played a flawless game, were found yards away from Suarez? Messi creates room for his team mates...

Chelsea buying Pedro, no doubt. The 10/11 season where pedro scored 25 goals and got the first goal in the CL final...Form is temporary, class is permanent. Pedro is too good to be on the bench, he should have left sooner.

So, how far into the season do you guys think we will get before being relegated?

Everyone was sceptical about Pedro when Guardiola first started bringing him into the team. I have faith in Rafinha, give him minutes and he could definitely become a first team player in the future. There isn't much we can do though, it isn't the managers fault if Pedro has decided he wants...

Because it was pre-season and it didn't matter if we lost. He needed to gauge his options in midfield. http://www.squawka.com/players/sergi-roberto/stats#performance-score#barcelona-(current)#spanish-la-liga#23#season-2014/2015#136#all-matches#1-38#by-match...

1. There were very few games where Fabregas played and Xavi didn't. This meant that Fabregas essentially had to try and play Iniesta's role, or even worse Messi's... 2. You're one of the few people I've seen on here who seems to agree with me that he was meant to take over from Xavi, and not...

I find it very ironic that barca fans are the only people who don't understand fabregas's best position. At arsenal he played as a deep play maker, like he did last year at Chelsea. Part of the reason he was poor for barca was he was always put out of position. Regardless, willian will not play...

I don't think there are many players in the squad who can play LB worse than Mathieu.

Welcome to barca forum.

As someone who has lived in London for the last 4 years, if you can put up with the weather it's the best city in the world imho. Has something for everyone, history, culture, and is the financial capital of Europe/arguably the world. I really wish he was going to Arsenal rather than Scumsea...

Roberto playing DCM when we have mascherano?

That's actually the worst thing you can possibly do. No matter how hard a player trains, they can never replicate match practice, hence why players who go long periods of time without playing competitive matches always lack a bit of sharpness at first. You only really start to wear a player...

If we put him on loan now for experience he could possibly come back in a year or two good enough. As things stand he isn't even good enough for our bench. We will just have to hope that Rakitic, Iniesta and Rafinha will be good enough to get us to January without injury, where Turan can come in.

They "can" get you sent off, but in practice it never happens. It's just funny that a referee who was so clearly biased throughout the rest of the game didn't even hesitate to go straight for a red when given the opportunity. The media bandwagon is beyond a joke.
