5 - Carles Puyol

[FCB-Michael]

He looked ok on the pitch, hope it`s just a precaution

 

[Barcaman]

It wasn`t exactly fair from us to play Puyol vs. Sporting while at the same time he misses the game for Spain due to "injury".
On the second thought, who cares :smile:

It wasn˙t fair at all, but it was the best thing to do.

Captain played with his heart. Our defense was bad on overall but if we had 4 Puyols back there there`s no way we would have conceded 4

 

[FCBNOF]

We'd win the tripple without conceeding

 

[Barcaman]

We need someone influential in midfield. Toure, Xavi, Iniesta... All quality players but no leadership material. I have big hopes for Busquets. Once he adapts fully to La Liga he will be one of our greatest assest

 

[FCB-Michael]

We need to clone Puyol. Yes he makes mistakes too but I can´t blame the player that gives his all every time.

 

[Barcaman]

Tarzan was amazing. So many runs up and down the flank. Few nice crosses too.

oh no, horrible, puyol injured for 3 weeks!!!

 

[mmandela]

Yeah he was fantastic! He played higher up in the pitch than Messi did at many times in the game. His spirit is just amazing...

Not good =/ hopefully we will make it quite good anyway.. but we sure will miss him against Lyon..

 

[FCB-Michael]

Not only is he a class central back, he is also easily one of the best right backs out there

 

[mmandela]

He is the best defender in the world and has been for many years in my oppinion

 

[R10(FCB)]

He wouldn't play against Lyon, Almeria, and Malaga... I hope Barca can beat Lyon without Puyol. In La Liga i think we can beat Almeria and Malaga without him, but against Lyon it would be hard. I hope that Valdes won't make some mistake against Lyon again.

 

[FCBNOF]

Marquez will step in, our other natural born-leader.

 

[alexjanosik]

Barca really lack leaders on the pitch.Our stand in captain Xavi is not captaincy material.
It is a bit like Fabregas for Arsenal.
Dont really see Xavi leading a comeback or inspiring us when we are down.
