Sorry, had to haha. I didn't think Iniesta was poor, but sometimes I feel like i'm watching a different game from you guys. I think this is the first time in a long time I felt Xavi played well and everyone seems to agree.

I didn't say he was poor, I said it wasn't his best game. How you made that inference is beyond me. If any game that isn't your best to date = poor in your books, then you must think Iniesta is the worst player in la liga.

What makes you think we couldn't beat Real? Chelsea don't look convincing, even if they are top of the EPL. Bayern haven't had anything close to a real test, the bundesliga has been very week this year. Obviously an easy draw is best, but I don't doubt the team, we have to beat the best to be...

You really thought he was poor?.. Granted it wasn't his best game, but some of his best performances for barca have been in the DCM role, not only can he win and keep the ball (reference:his job), but he also can distribute the ball well. My only criticism of our midfield against Rayo was...

What level do you play at? I know it's the US, but that sounds like an exceptionally poor standard of football. edit: Even the recreational football leagues in England play a much higher quality of football than what you are describing, at schoolboy level we were playing fairly decent level...

I think that's a bit unfair, suarez's ability to link up with other players and create chances far exceeds what Eto was ever capable of. He has really come into form at the perfect time, him playing as the CF has re-revolutionised Messi as it allows him to drop deeper whilst still giving us a...

Can't say i'm concerned with our midfield at the moment, any team that can have a player like mascherano as the reserve DCM and Xavi as a reserve CM isn't doing badly. The actual assists are coming from the front three because those are such talented and creative players, and they do their work...

I've stopped being surprised by alves. He is one of the worst crossers of the ball I've ever seen. The amount of times he just loops it into the middle with loads of height and no pace is astounding. Even lewandowski would struggle to score with that service.

Supposedly he gained a couple pounds during his ban, and he has been working to lose it. According to guillem balague anyway.

If this is him playing great then I'd hate to see what you consider playing poorly. I hate hearing players getting slagged off, particularly as many on this forum constantly hate on Iniesta/Xavi, but alves is one of the few players I feel deserves criticism.

Ludicrous. So nice to see barca fans wanting to treat their club legends like shit. I didn't realise this was a madridsta forum.

Could someone teach alves how to cross the ball?

Best performance by suarez so far, looked really good and gives us an option as a dedicated CF. Besides messi he would have been my man of the match, a goal he made on his own, an assist, and heavily involved in all our good attacking play. Alves needs to go, he ruined so much of the attacks...

It's time like these where I think the board aren't actually that bad. If they had some armchair managers in charge we would be relegated. Just because we've been successful after clear-out's before doesn't mean that it is the best way to go about managing the club. We should be building the...

The midfield is fine, if Vermalaen was fit the defence would be acceptable. The entire team have been poor for 3 seasons because we've had a chain of coaches who have no idea what they are doing.

I don't know what all the fuss it about, we'll be retiring him next season anyway.

Supposedly he loses his job if we don't beat atleti this weekend. Judging by their performance against real yesterday and how much Enrique has upset the dressing room in the last week, we haven't got a chance of winning unless a miracle happens.

The same squad? Now we have more defenders, we have rakitic who I think is a brilliant addition to the midfield to replace Xavi, we have rafinha to mix in and give Iniesta a break. Neymar and suarez are big upgrades to the attacking line up. Even if we had the same squad your point is flawed...

With the squad Enrique has, barca should be contending for the CL and given how much Madrid have slipped up this year we should be top. A coach is supposed to get the best out of his players and make them play better and as a team. With the last 3 managers we've played worse and the players...

Rakitic sucked in the World Cup? Wow, you need to learn to understand football more. Because going forward as a midfielder is the only productive use of the ball. Some of you guys literally have the most immature and fundamentally basic understanding of football.
