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

[impeh]

Possession of the last games:

they certainly looked alot better in the supercup games, hopefully we'll have a bit more possession tonight.

 

[xaviniesta]

youngie is irisih. everything is 442 to him...

 

[ammarfcb]

Of course not.

The official lineups will first be announced approximately 1 hour/45 minutes before the match.

the ofcourse not makes my idea sound stupid.
but thanks.

i hope its alexis-messi-villa

 

[BarcaGirl]

I hope Alexis starts ...he's been on fire lately and he deserves it

 

[Youngie]

Why do you interpret it as 4-4-2? It looks like the usual 4-3-3 with Fabregas as a false #9 and Messi out wide.

Which would make sense to start like that by the way. Because in second half: Villa out, Pique out. Fresh Sanchez in, fresh Pedro in. Go 3-4-3.

4 defenders, "diamond" midfield & Messi & Villa upfront. 4-4-2 to me - Irish or not!

Messi out wide? Just no

 

[La Furia]

Messi out wide? Just no

If anything, Cesc should be on the bench.

We've been playing 4-4-2 since 2009 then.

Villa/Henry--------------------Pedro/Eto'o
------------------Messi------------------
-----------------------------------------
-------Iniesta---------------Xavi---------
--------------Busquets/Yaya-------------
-----------------------------------------

Messi out wide? Just no

He's playing in wider areas pretty much the whole season now. lol

Nice try.

Cesc deserves to start but it's better that he's on the bench - till half time. That way 4-3-3 rather than 3-4-3.

 

[Youngie]

He's playing in wider areas pretty much the whole season now. lol

And he sucks there too LOL

Rubbish. Look at the picture again PLEASE. Quite clearly it's a 4-4-2 diamond with Messi & Villa upfront.

 

[Birdy]

No way... Who is going to track marcelo and arbeloa?

Even if messi and villa are stretched out wide, they both like to come inside and they both are not as dedicated in defending as Pedro and Alexis are...
We need pedro and alexis out wide..

 

[Youngie]

Chill out a bit Birdy! Course it won't be 4-4-2.

Yep one of Alexis or Pedro has to be there IMO...

This is just a probable line-up anyways
