Disco Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Not that type of player to intentionally hurt anyone... http://www.offthepost.info/wp-content/uploads/Terry-Puyol-gif.gif Oh my god, he gave him a Chinese Burn! Is Puyol a man or a mouse? He'd just had his wrist stood on or something, had it strapped up shortly after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Barca can fuck off, the useless cunts. Play the best football (possibly ever) until they have the opportunity to do us a favour. Fucking useless tippy tappy Swansea wannabees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Absolutely sickening. Chelsea may have half their first team missing for the final, but the remaining half is easily good enough to do exactly what they did today, i.e. camp in their own half and take the few chances that come their way. And Barcelona ffs. I think Guardiola took the Total Football concept too far with there being no strikers in the team. Look, man: teams lose yearly in the CL and no one complains. The only reason people are complaining about Barca is because they have achieved so much - they have done what no team has done before. So whenever they lose, it's a big deal. But the only reason they win so much is because they play with this style, which is unmatched. They're not going to abandon the whole reason they've achieved so much in their greatest hour of need. They're going to do what they've done for four years because for four years, they were the best club team on Earth and did what no club team has ever done before. For you to suggest that they abandon that is just unbelievable. They missed Villa a lot today but they still had a ton of chances to kill the game off earlier on. The penalty miss just seemed to have such a big psychological effect on them. I do think a different option would help them though, namely a striker with a bit of physical presence. I agree that changing the entire philosophy would be silly, but against the top defensive sides it's just too hard to play your way through like they try to do with any success. It's not even about the personnel primarily though. So many times tonight they got it in decent spots out wide and there was only a couple of players in the box, with three or four of them standing outside the box waiting for the ball to be cleared. They need to commit more men forward and sling some crosses in if teams are gonna park the bus, just to change things up a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The penalty miss just seemed to have such a big psychological effect on them. I'm not saying they should abandon a successful style of play. Just that they need to do what they've done previously with Eto'o and Villa, i.e. incorporate a striker into the team so that they have someone who specialises in taking chances. At the same time, not having midfielders in central defense would help too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 If you want some free money, get it on us to go down. After tonight, I am utterly convinced. There's no point hiding it or trying to tough it out, if there were any justice in football, we would be relegated, we totally, totally deserve it. I've also never witnessed a club where the fans were so utterly disconnected from every single level of the management of the club - and I say this having supported us through over 30 years of Doug Ellis.

Wisdom Body Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Guardiola has shown himself up slightly recently, as Parky says the striker issue is glaring. He's shown confidence in the kids but you can't rely on them in these types of games AND they are still lacking top class central defensive cover. My thoughts exactly, he has to shoulder the blame for this elimination. Constant experimenting with a three-man defence/midfielders in defence and failure to address holes in the squad - only one (injured) out-and-out striker and only two centre-backs. Pedro should have been playing in a game like this instead of Tello/Cuenca, since his decision-making is much better. I think Pep just got bored.
