Mr. Snrub Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 talkSPORTDrive @talkSPORTDrive I think Busquets is superb, but I also think Carrick is made for that Barcelona midfield. Can barely split them. talkSPORTDrive @talkSPORTDrive The fact Carrick stands up to comparisons with a regular for Barca in this era is amazing. Sad that England favoured Barry/Parker etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 F*ck right off Carrick is a very good player but the insistence on comparing any english player to the best in his position is the definition of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I see there's a massive gap between Germany and Italy. Can see Germany going up to second if Bayern win the champions league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance you would need to drop to 4th in the rankings but long term it could happen if results dont improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I rate Carrick, but comparing them is so daft, that you would only really do it to start a debate via calls and texts. Hmm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Still giggling like a little kid. Best game we've played since the 2010-2011 season. Remarkably, swapping Abidal for Alba, that was our starting XI for that season. The stadium almost crumbled when Villa scored the third. Perfect tale, this one will go down in our history as one of our finest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Barcelona play some extremely good games over the years and let's be honest, Milan proved yesterday that they are nowhere near a team good enough for the CL. As for Tito being back soon. I love Roura man, he's never ever going to be a manager Hilarious how he sits there and just looks so awkward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Barca were superb, that's the best I've seen them in the Champions League since the final in 2011. That 7-1 win against Leverkusen was also class. Given the circumstances it might have been their best game in the CL in a long long time, but they've played some excellent football early on in this season against teams like Malaga and Bilbao. I just don't rate Milan at all, mediocre coach with average players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Milan are undergoing a massive rebuild at the moment though, so you're being a bit harsh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Milan are undergoing a massive rebuild at the moment though, so you're being a bit harsh. Exactly my point though, their rebuilding means they're not a very good side at the moment. That's not harsh that's the truth. For a team to sell their two best players that they were highly dependant on in even winning games and now they're third because of a recent surge in form since they signed Balo. (and the Italian league is piss poor apart from Juve) Let's be honest here, 4-0 win against Milan was around the distance between quality in both sides, and I actually had a 5-0 for Barca win written down pre-match. I have no doubt Milan have a bright future, but their struggles in the group stages reflect their quality right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
