2012 CdR Final: Athletic Club - FC Barcelona 0-3

[CougaR10]

no..3 man defence With Puqie and Adriano is suicide..
its not like i don't trust Pique, but if the midfield fails..
it will be Pique taking Llorente...and Masherano have to deal alone with Muniain..
Id rather have 4 man defence with extra CB to cover Llorente..

Montoya is ready to step up.

It would be beautiful to see Villa make a triumphant return and get a goal in this game.

 

[JDaniels]

Pepp time to say goodbye

Not happening unfortunately.

Montoya is good enough on defense to hold down the fort at RB for this game. I'd say he's about half the player Alves is, though Alves has been looking burned out this spring. Dani should not even look at a football for the next couple months, he deserves a long vacation.

No Puyol, No Alves. How's our defense gonna look like against an attacking team?

Montoya, Pique, Masche, Adriano is a bad defense? If you think that, then gtfo.

 

[karthik]

Its a must win game. Should be tough, but we have players who know how to win a final and most importantly how to accept defeat.

 

[FCBarca]

Never like these matches when there is so much time off between competitive playing - there's almost always a serious lull, hard to flip a switch...This team is very much a rhythm team and can't say this prolonged lack of competitive playing is a positive

If the local papers are to be believed, I think they suggested the club sought out a friendly or two but Pep shot it down

 

[Bu3aLi]

I expect a cruising win if the attack is on target !

That's why Manchester United dominated us for the first ...

[Bilal Khan]

and how many days there was before the CL final last year again?

my thoughts exactly!

 

[abual3bed1]

and how many days there was before the CL final last year again?

wasn't it only 1 week between Malaga's and CL final matches??

I think it can make some differnece, but after all it's on both teams. 2 weeks off is too much.
