Real Madrid (old thread)

75% possession. How is that not our usual possession game? You're losing it. You must be feeling the pressure, imagine how your players must be feeling. No performance tonight and the 4th estate will get to work.

That's due to Racing sitting back and doing nothing at all , you had almost no penetration or slick passing unless u want the passive passing to be your thing AGAIN
It's all about Messi for u'r lot
however if you say yesterday was the typical Barca performance i would be very very happy arty00231: (even though Pep was clearly not happy )
, i have no problem if that's what you'll bring to the table in the classico .
long it may continue :beer2:

Is it just me or has Gio lost it? Please could someone respond as this is quite worrying.

Cause i have to agree with you

you were very ordinary last night , i really liked Messi brilliance and Ibra looked much better but i don't see anything similar to what u presented before .
in terms of Barca style yesterday was your worst in the liga this season , it was a boring game

He seems to have undergone a brain swap with an As journalist. Boring game? No penetration? Ordinary? Years of turgid mandril performances have obviously robbed him of the ability to enjoy good football.

I'm seriously beginning to think that Beast's user account has been hacked. This is very strange stuff from somebody who usually analyses football pretty well.

I think he's drunk. Perhaps he'll sober up later on.

When he said he was living in Egypt I didn't think that meant he'd be permanently in de nile.

I didn't like your game CA, it's below anything you've shown in the liga .
Brilliant goals no doubt ( par Ibra /Henrique own goal ) . fluid game ? no ,Barca cutting down defense ? no .
2 of your goals came from shots outside the box (brilliant Messi ) .

If that's your best i must have been watching a different Barca last year & this year liga (par UEFA super cup ) .

It wasn't Barça in top gear but it was still a superb performance. We had total domination in the first half with possession % well into the 70s and three clinical goals, one effort against the post and another ruled out for a very marginal offside call. The performance was very similar to early season showings last season but we were more clinical in our finishing. Your misreading of the game is highlighted by your assertion that we were relying on Messi when only one of the first three goals came from him and even that involved a good team move albeit finished in a superb manner by the Argentine. The 2nd goal didn't involve him at all and the opener was a training ground move. If you can't admire the football from Messi, Xavi playing the conductor of the orchestra in midfield and the combination of power and finesse that Zlatan shows then there's something wrong with you. Maybe you're going off football?

Adam i never said you are relying on Messi , i said Messi was brilliant i didn't say u rely on him .
with a team that includes Alves,Xavi & Iniesta u can't rely on Messi .

Look you as a fan have your own biased viewing (which is very normal we all do it ) but even the game vs Inter all non Barca fans thought it was boring you guys said it was good/few said ok (and Alex came with an escape clause and said it was "Tactical " - it wasn't it was damn boring ) .

As a cule you will be happy with the beautiful goals (most of them ) and the score line , for a non-Barca fan i see it less than your full gear (as you said now you didn't hit top gear ) which is what i'm saying exactly
what i wrote is clear "COMPARED to other Barca games this one was bad probably your worst in the liga " . when u set the standards high don't expect to play like this and make us entertained
you can go & have orgasm about Messi goals or Ibra backheel but other non-cule's sit for 90 minutes to watch the game so it' matters more than pretty goals .

And u know me better than this,when you play great i'm the first to admit & congratulate you

Indeed man, that's what we are waiting for. The condition has been met so up with the congratz please.

I'm willing to accept that given the subjective nature of "entertainment" you may not have found the game thrilling, but I'm mystified as to why you can't accept that it was a really good performance. You even seem to use the fact that we scored some superb goals as a criticism. Bizarre.

I will when you meet the conditions , congrats on the win no doubt and Messi brilliant game but not the performance from my point of view

not at all , it's not a criticism but i'm pointing out the fact that it may blind you from the rest of the 90's minutes .

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

I am baffled to see how we could have done more, especially in the first half.
