News reports says yes he did, extended his contract another year, which got me wondering.. Just another year?? Hmmmm

When is ibra gaining his lethal touch back? He looks so miserable at times.. Sigh.. We need him in case likes of messi/pedro lose their shooting boots.. We might find it really hard to scoreee... When is dani returning?

Keita / toure?
Anyway, the 2 red cards... Pique should only see yellow la.. And marquez, my streaming too blur, cant see if its a dive or a penalty... But it looks soft to me la... Penalty fair enough la, why send off??

You mean should be disallowed?
AS is crazy, 2 reds and still crying foul?

Yeah... Cesc and (i dunno bout you guys but i quite fancy) arteta...
Lets hope we can get back dani and keita for stuttgart...
And Rafa can take over xavi's role of pin point distribution of the ball..

Thank god guardiola pulled off marquez.. He was shaky thruout the 1st half..
Good thing henry was brought on too.. Not that he's good or yaya was bad..
But pulling back iniesta pairing with sergi allowing xavi to roam between them and the forwards made us control the ball better..And henry taking over iniesta in LF

Lehmann? Lol... He only made 2 saves in that match i think..
One easy shot from messi which hit the post.. Another shot from ibra parried away, only back to ibra, for the equaliser.. And he was lucky that he did not concede a goal in that corner which ibra did a really nice turnaround shot only to be put off goal by a hand/arm/shoulder..

Anyway, if that performance goes, we're gonna win nothing this year.. Do we really miss dani and eric that much?? Or keita?

1 thing i cant fathom is why pep prefers rafa over gaby in central defence.. I mean rafa is good for DM but CB nooo please.. He was trembling for a good first half in mercedez-benz arena.. OMG pls dun do that again pep..

No more beating real in the bernebau for the champions league.

Bad news guys, xavi is out for tonight.

So?

henry - ibra - messi
iniesta-------keita
-------sergi------
maxwell-pique-puyol-dani

Needless to say messi was motm but worth mentioning are yaya and dani..
Yaya played more offensive that he usually does today, and did well, esp the 2nd goal and another shot in the 2nd half which went narrowly wide..
While dani totally shut off hleb.. I dun think his return will be on the cards.. LoL

At the expense of keita?I really doubt its a good idea..

Anyway how long is xavi gonna be out?

The whole match i felt like killing ibra.. He missed so many sitters..

Yeah, milito is a good puyol cover.. But if he is paired with puyol, it is going to be bad..Unless puyol is deployed at full back (which is bad too, as he offers little compared to dani/maxwell/abidal to the offense).. Milito-pique will be much better.. How long is pique gonna be out anyway??

And on ibra, i believe, like henry, he is going to play well for us next season.. Takes a season to adapt to spanish football and the barca way of playing.. As long as he continues to work hard, he'll see the day of light.. I hope..

What do you guys think of hleb? Do you see him coming back? I hope he does, after seeing what he did in the first leg of the QFs..

Maxwell did great in the assist.. And ibra finally broke his duck (last penalty doesnt count).. At least early on, he tested the keeper..zzz
same goes to iniesta and bojan but no surprises there..

Did u guys see that corner, where ibra used his back to shove the ball back to messi to shoot, only to draw to a good save..
I lol'ed so hard.. Well, ibra is on his way back i guess..

Maxwell obviously cant cope with walcott's speed, but heck penalty maybe, but a straight red? Come on.. No pique no puyol.. Rafa - Gaby??
I dun like rafa.. Not on CB..

I'd really rather see gaby-toure and marquez deployed in midfield.. Rafa just has no pace and intensity in defence, especially against fast opponents like arsenal, not to mention bendtner would be much taller than him, and gaby, toure has to be in defence to support the defense physically..

I'd really want to disagree to ur opinion but...ItS hard not to notice that we scored 4 goals for the past 2 games without him.. (tho bojan-ibra's replacement was clueless last night)
Sometimes he misses those sitters really makes me hard to sleep at night lol..
But i think we should give him some time, hopefully, like many other players who come to barca, would play better in their 2nd season..
On his expensive price tag from inter, i just console myself that inter laid off maxwell to us a bit cheap..so even out lor.. (tho it really doesnt)
Maxwell doing great offensively, but defensively, especially that TW goal last week, he's still not good enough la.. Maybe he could play LW/LM like last weekend..

On the bright side, we have fresh puyol and pique for classico.. lol

* On some previous comments, about el classico = mu-chelsea match.. IT IS NOT.. throw in spain politics + cutural pride, besides the need to win to be a step closer to the laliga trophy. Its more like a world cup final.. MU-chelsea is nothing near that..

I found it very true.
