Lliga | Round 11: FC Barcelona - Villarreal 3-0

[Flavia]

Vermaelen would have deserved to start.

He probably can't play twice a week, or he breaks.

man clos gomez is a son of a b... wtf is he thinking, villareal make 3 yellow card fouls without anything, than mathieu makes the first strong barcelona foul and a yellow card, blatant calls against barcelona, giving Iniesta a yellow card... fu... anti barca referee again

 

[Kuchi]

Hard to break them, well organized at the back. Ref kinda stinks too.

Please, any goal, 3 pts and pressure on real. Pleasee

Edit:ref clearly submitting jis resume for the classico

 

[Vlom]

We won, we won, we won!!!

great 2nd half. shuld messi stay on the bench for classico.

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

Predictably tough game against first legit opponent since Messi's injury. Well done to hold on and wear them down. Entertaining open game with quality from both sides.

All Masia midfield Busquets-Roberto-Iniesta

Roberto looked spent in the second half, definitely affected, heavy on his passes and shots.

 

[Barcaman]

Great 2nd half show by Barca

 

[dakt]

Good thing is that team has showed that it can do w/o Messi.
Kudos to Ney, Busi and Iniesta.

It's obvious to anyone that refs allow harder play on Barca players. It takes a lot for Iniesta to lose his cool and these sons of bitches managed just that. They have no shame nor national pride if they don't blink doing it to Spain's biggest legend.

He made shit decisions against them as well though and handed out yellows that were harsh at times.

One of those arrogant refs that wont take players shouting at him.

Still not happy we rely so much on a couple of players brilliance.
Would rather see some of our possesion play and brilliant passing as a team rather than counterattack goals.
