[Galning]

Pinto & Abi.. we missed some heart out there on the pitch

Hope he can play on wednesday. Im actually scared of what defense we might line up.

I hoped they subbed him because he could start against bayern :S

I'm sorry but today's game showed to me he's not able to compete on the highest level anymore.

I'm sorry but today's game showed to me he's not able to compete on the highest level anymore.

I think it is more about time, needs more time then we can judge if he can still play at the highest level

Why is that?

 

[ThwiX]

If he's not able to compete on the highest level anymore, then I'm afraid of knowing what level Pique is be able to compete on, or our defence in general for that matter.

Abidal was better than Pique during the first half. #FACT

What did he do wrong? Abidal > Pique in first half IMO

 

[Me55i D105]

Yeah wondering the same thing, funny how one defender who has been away for a very long time performs better than Pique. They let in one goal with him and two without, I blame Pique the most. His performance has been dreadful, I would say ever since he met Shakira and got hit in the head during Champions League last season. Despite his past performance we have to look to the future and what's best for the club and that is his departure, as Guardiola supposedly said. The only reason we have dropped so much is because of the poor defense, and the only reason the league is won is because of Iniesta and Messi.

Abidal was subbed off at half-time on Saturday because of calf discomfort and because he was exhausted after the intense first half. [sport]

There's no way he's going to play against Bayern.

 

[impeh]

seems unlikely then, unfortunately.

as much as i love alba, with him and dani both flying forward we concede far too many goals.. against certain teams you can risk it, but not in the later stages of the CL. Abidal was key a few years ago in balancing things out when alves went forward

Well, Alba is suspended so we won't see him. Hopefully Adriano is up to it.

Great more defensive issues. Can we just roll out Alves Pique Bartra Muniesta already.
