1 - Victor Valdes

[Maria]

It can.

Leverkusen - Barcelona: 4 shots on target, 1 goal conceded
Barcelona - Leverkusen: 1 shot on target, 1 goal conceded
Milan - Barcelona: 3 shots on target, 0 goals conceded
Barcelona - Milan: 1 shot on target, 1 goal conceded
Chelsea - Barca: 1 shot on target, 1 goal conceded
Barca - Chelsea: 3 shots on target, 2 goals conceded

So overall in the knockout rounds of this year's Champions League campain Valdes has conceded 6 goals from 13 shots on target. But the most amazing thing while searching up those statistics is: how did Leverkusen manage 5 shots on target, more than Milan and Chelsea?

Edit:

Hilarious. From last season:

Barcelona - Manchester United: 1 shot on target, 1 goal conceded
Barcelona - Real Madrid: 1 shot on target, 1 goal conceded
Barcelona - Shakhtar Donetsk: 1 shot on target, 1 goal conceded
Barcelona - Arsenal: 0 shots on target, 1 goal conceded

:valdes:

In many of those games(except the recent ones) he is one of the reason for which we concede so few shots..nobody will remember the fuck-ups that Dani Alves had against Shakhtar and how VV even injured himself at his knee trying to save us, or how at 0-0 in the CL final last year VV made a crucial save in front of Rooney and at 1-1 in Leverkusen it was more of the same think or how the goal that Pedro scored against RM in CL began from VV..not to mention his performances against Chelsea in 2009 or against Arsenal in 2006.

What people don't understand about a Barca GK is that he has to be a GK and a CB at the same time and even if we concede so few shots, most of them are in dangerous situations, with VV alone in front of the other team's player. But if we want to judge our players after the last 3 games, then we should sell more then half of them(starting with Dani and Xavi).

Sexy. But can he pose like that on a cold, wet and windy Tuesday night in the Britannia stadium?

Thing with goalkeepers is, they never win.

Neuer, Schalke 0-2 United. Both goals were savable. Anyone who watched the game will realize what i just said is, although true, a complete misrepresentation of the truth.

Valdes has good and bad things to his game. Good - best goalkeeper positioning in the world.
Bad - mistake prone.
Good - Second best user of feet as a GK (after Reina IMO)
Bad - big game FLOP
Good - La Masia product - say what you want, but it helps. It galvanizes, gets the fans on your side... it's helpful.
Bad - Sometimes, i just..... omg *slap motion*.... at his near post.... how could a world class goalkeeper... *deep breath*

If we had Casillas in the last 2 weeks and RM had Valdes?
Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona
Barcelona 3-1 Real Madrid
Barcelona 2-0 Chelsea

I'm a big fan of the Bundesliga, and all i can say is:
Pinto OUT, Mitch Langerak (or less realistically, Bernd Leno) IN
Valdes STAY, eventually become second keeper behind super Mitch

As a La Masia product (one of the 'good's), i don't think he'll object to being relegated to the bench too badly.

Valdes big game flop!? Oh God, what has this world come to!?

 

[karthik]

Just like how Pep said, we will start missing these players when they no more play for us

 

[Maria]

Those who think Casillas is so perfect should watch Bayern-RM again..

Based on the last 3 games, Messi is a big game flop. We should sell him and buy Neymar..Ramires for Xavi would also be a very good idea.

Toni Kroos for Xavi*

 

[Yugi]

Toni Kroos for Xavi*

how could we forget him
Kroos

 

[barcelonista]

how could we forget him
Kroos

Kroos -> winning in the Bernabeu to make it to the CL final
Xavi -> sucking at Camp Nou against Real Madrid and getting subbed off

It's clear who the better player is.
