Sweet 1-0 great result, Higuain hitting form
going to be between him and Ronaldo for golden boot this season for us i’m thinking. ( for Real, i’m thinking Villa might win the la liga 1,. Really wanted Alonso to get some rest but i guess at 1-0 it was to risky, oh well now all eyes on Barca!!Posted from

Only saw 2nd half but we were crap. God we’re gonna get roasted at the Bernabeú. That Zurich team wouldn’t get into the Segunda B here. How on earth did they beat Milan???
We should have stuck in 5 past them. Usual story predictable play, no running into space, no taking opponents on, poor passing, well I won’t go on.
Oh we were good at collecting yellow cards for foolhardy tacklingPosted from

Maybe it’s part of a cunning plan and they’ll transform by Sunday, super motivated by the challenge
Ok just a theoryPosted from

Raul Albiol is doubtful for El Clasico.. this is not good news

That bad news indeed but he always manages to shake off those knocks so let’s cross our fingers

Hope you all watched Barca Play yesterday, We will soon pick your team apart the same way, except we will put more goals in with Ibra and Messi playing alongside Henry, Can’t wait for el clasico, may C9 bring his best, and may we shut him down like the over rated player he is. Visça El Barca!

About yesterday, we did what was necessary and got the win. It was the same perfomance we’ve done lately, started strong, create some chances, score a goal and then….nothing. We had a couple of chances later in the game when the changes happened and that was it.
The result of the other game of the group was perfect. The only scenario for us to end up in Europa league is to lose either with 3-0 or with a 4-goal margin and Milan to win. In all other scenarios we end up 1st except if Milan wins we need to win too.

na ryan he’s saving it for Sunday don’t worry. He did bring energy to the midfield when he came on, he alaways wanted the ball in the middle and made many runs forward.

GOOD NEWS! Pellegrini has said they are worried about the way they are playing, which for me at least is more positive than him coming out and saying all is A1
Did they look interested to you guys yesterday? Is this a rerun of the last galactico era where they’re all thinking about tomorrow’s publicity campaign.
I say it again.
No motivation to play good football and represent the shield of RM against a team which would have made Alcorcon look like galacticos
No surprise element
No taking players on
No running into space and triangulation
No consecutive passes
Clumsy tackling
Low technical skills
Funnel through the middle with no width.
Low physical stamina.
Hope they all look pretty for their photo shoot obligations
Hope I have to eat my wordsPosted from

Remember guys we’re only on a 1 point lead cos we haven’t played anyone good yet, well we have but then we lost!
Sunday Barsa

Yes Villareal have now made a recovery and we will have them at home, Atlético look doomed this season though

Labomba I think you’re exaggerating , in the first half we did many of the stuff you say we didn’t do with that said I agree that we aren’t playing close to the level that we want , but with time that will come
