Lliga: Barca - Villarreal 3-2

[Luftstalag14]

The scary February is back. I would make us title favorites if we don't lose any points this month. This is very crucial month for this season, and we always perform badly in this month.

Ditto. Let's not lose sight of things and play with the same intensity that helped us win the last several games.

Paulista was good enough to keep Musacchio out of the side.

Right, (you told me that before and I didn't reply ) but I don't watch Villarreal nearly enough to know if Musacchio was that good or if he just had a good run of form when everyone was hyping him. Hopefully I'll see soon both how good Paulista is and how good Villarreal are.

Sorry I was on my phone when I wrote that, so I couldn't elaborate. I meant to say that Paulista was good, adding on to your post, but that Villarreal also still has Musacchio (who is quite talented) who can step in and, given a run of games to regain form, can replace Paulista.

In other words, Villarreal are not to be underestimated.

Ah, I see. True enough. But I'm feeling very confident after the Atletico games, I don't think any team can stop our front line when they're playing as well as they are now.

Denis Cheyshev will be the real threat for barca. He is having a great season so far and we need to shut him down completely. We should start a strong lineup to make sure we don't drop points. Vilarreal are no pushovers, they will take the game to barca and players like cheryshev will cause lot of problems for barca. He has pace and skill and very good on 1 on 1's. Only iniesta and rakitic should be rested. Messi, neymar and suarez should start imo, lucho might be tempted to bench neymar for pedro but we need to take all 3 points from the game. We can later sub neymar out but with the form he is on it is better if he starts.

Villarreal are unbeaten in all competitions in their last 18 matches. And they have scored at least one goal in their last 25 matches. No one mentioned this already?

Hear, hear. That's why the upcoming three games against the Yellow Submarines are not easy and we must tread carefully.

We can't drop any points until the clasico.
