Jordi Alba and Ramos are brilliant today. But Xavi is having a rather quiet game.

Pedro was a good replacement, when he came on, he created numerous threats against the Portuguese defense. Negredo, needs more experience, especially in games like this, when you need to be more than 'that'.
Would fancy a final against the Germans, a really blockbuster indeed. This morning's game was a little weird, it's like every 5 mins of gameplay, there will be at least one foul, ref blows the whistle and d disrupted the play. I would like to see Juan Mata as well. I don't remember seeing Fernando Llorente featuring in any game yet. Get well soon Villa! |

QUOTE(barca96 @ Jun 28 2012, 06:42 PM) One of the reasons is him having Xabi constantly getting in the way or trying to do what he does. Sorry, not a Barca fan nor fan of their gameplay. Manchester United fan through and through. I do however, support Valencia CF as my favourite Spanish side. And supporting the La Furia Roja since 2007 Last night again a number of times Xabi got in the way. Or when Xavi has the ball and try to spread the play to the flanks, Xabi will stand and ask for the ball. Although this problem occurs less compared to 2010 WC but it's still pretty obvious. Xavi needs an Iniesta in front of him much like Alonso needs a Mascherano/Busquets behind him. Also, you have to understand why he isn't so noticeable, without runners running behind the defense, you won't see him threading through balls. His job will then only be to keep the tempo and spread the play. He can direct the tempo but yet play a fast direct game. You just need to watch more Barca matches to know that    This post has been edited by andrewtho: Jun 28 2012, 10:30 PM |

Juan Mata finally made an appearance, which he scored after coming on
 I believe the Italian coach messed up his tactics. He knows Cassano is short of match fitness and yet he fielded him in the starting lineup although he has the ability to barge through defense, still a risk to start him, subbed off during the second half and that proved costly because once Thiago Motta pulled his hamstring, it was a lost cause. Nevertheless, Xavi was brilliant this morning, put an end to all his critics of being 'off form' |
