11/12 Lliga: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-3

[FiReFTW]

Im pretty sure I know how Mou is going to approach this game.

First he will start the game with 1 or possibly 2 players that would not normaly be his 1st choice but who have great conditioning and play a very closed game while these 2 players run around and man mark probably Messi and Xavi, then around 60th minute he will sub them and probably start to attack in around 60-70th minute.

Im ready for anything Madrid can do to us, Manita, CR7 Hattrick, you name it.

My prediction 3-1 Moudrid.

Nope, it will be attack, attack, attack from the start. We'll need to ride out the storm or we could potentially be down and out very early on.

Classico > Christmas

We cant lose, simple as that. 9 points from the top, going into the Christmas break is alot. -assuming noone slips up after-
Havnt really been consistent at all this season away from home, which is why he may stick Cesc in there for a bit more of the ball and maybe a little more desire to win. (plus im pretty sure he is our second top scorer this season)

Hopefully another top game from VV too

Cant wait

Skyrim > Clasico, just saying

But in all seriousness, people are so negative, except for dalitis. We are going to destroy Madrid, so stop worrying.

People can't see that Madrid are the exact same side we hammered last season, and threw out of the CL.

not true they are much much more experienced as a team. They have better chemistry

Yup. They have greater confidence and we are weaker (in every sense) this year.

 

[impeh]

they probably outplayed us in the pre season games (yeh i know, pre season..) but too be fair we only won last season because of another Messi wonder goal. Cant keep relying on that..

Maybe. But we are not certain of that as yet. They have not passed any major test. As yet.

 

[Corb]

We always have done great performances against them when they are overconfident. At least during Pep's era.

Yeah, they outplayed us when we were at walking speed.

And we still came out on top. And since when are we not allowed to rely on our best player? (best player of all times, mind you)

 

[dalitis8]

Yup. They have greater confidence and we are weaker (in every sense) this year.

Them having more confidence may prove beneficial for us. Quite possibly I would argue.

As for us being weaker. I would really be anxious to see your justification of that claim.

101% correct.
