When will people get it through there thick skulls Xavi is past it.
Masch at cb, Mathieu at Lb and Xavi starting.....Lucho wont last long in the job because he is clueless.
I did tell you all if Masch plays at cb and Xavi starts Real Madrid will win.

What the actual fuck did I just read.

Mascherano saved our asses tonight, he was the only player who can leave the pitch with his head held high. Absolutely ridiculous statement right here. I can't believe it.

real madrid was better than us and fuck u pique

No they weren't 2 goals were gift-wrapped by Pique and Iniesta.

I think the team really lost focus after Pepe's header. You can tell by their lack of movement after that.

Lucho really needs to force his team to forget about if they concede and keep attacking like they did v. PSG.

Madrid were the better team in the end, but they only dominated in the first half for about 10 minutes after we scored the first goal. Otherwise until the Penaldo, they weren't convincing at all.

The ref was quick to pull a yellow on our players and didn't penalize Madrid players who did similar things- but that's how it always is against Madrid. The refs will always favor them, always. There wasn't any OMG the ref messed up calls, but if both teams were to do the same thing, we will always get punished harsher than them.

Our play breaks down for many reasons, but I'll save that for the Busquets thread.

I don't comment here that much but man today's game was depressing to watch. First of all, I think Luis Enrique screwed up big time. Playing Mathieu as LB was a mistake and he didnt fix the mistake all game. At HT i was thinking Xavi out for ALba, Move Mathieu to CDF and Masch to DF. Even with the Iniesta change, I would've moved Masch to mid to limit the shambles that was our midfield.
Going forward, I hope Enrique realizes the limitations of our midfield and play a double pivot of Busquets and Masch. Madrid effectively pushed and stole the ball off Busi many a time and we would've a Manita on our hands if not for Masch! and don't cover the Midfield overload(or under) by making Messi drop deep... you're killing our offense which looks up to messi to get them up and running!!!

I've never been so afraid of Barça's defense, while RM's wing play was just really intense. Throughout the second half when RM would counter I was afraid of them running towards 2-3 defenders in the back. Mathieu on the offense was nothing special in the first half. RM were the better team, and hopefully Lucho will learn from this.

Not the best tactical game from Lucho, but im sure he will learn from this. No cover for Alves, who really couldnt contain Marcelo, who was unstoppable.

.
Learn from what exaxtly? He had the his chance against psg, madrid played exactly the same way.

Why not bring Rafinha to the game?
Why was Alba not bought on after Mathieu completely failing at LB?
Why was Pique allowed to play the 90 min?
Why is Alves still a player on this team?
