ReplyDeleteAlves-Marquez-Puyol-Abidal
Toure
Xavi-Iniesta
Messi-Eto'o-Henry
Henry bothers me, but still hoping for a good game!
more of a classical line up
ReplyDeletealthough I think Piquet would have been more suitable as Nigrido's is dangerous in the air
3-0
ReplyDeleteEto'o
Henry
Eto'o

Eto'o
4-0 after 20 minutes. And Guardiola is pushing them not to relax :-))))))))))))
ReplyDeleteXavi and Iniesta just rule the whole pitch. So nice to see this team playing.
ReplyDeletehey hey wat happened to this blog so long as we win no1 makes any comments! cmon guys even if we win like this we should always be supportin barca lets keep this blog alive more and keep up the discussions.....never have i seen a match discussion here with 5 comments into second half!!!
ReplyDelete5-0 @ halftime..
ReplyDeleteAlves scores his first goal for Barca!
Awesome display, hope we'll continue like this in second half.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous! Eto'o hit 12 goals in already! 9 league goals and 3 champions league goals, I think. Scored more than Zaki :) Eto'o is back in form!
ReplyDeleteAnd Dani Alves' freekick was just superb! Didn't need to get it over the wall, just needed power and accuracy.
Top class performance!!!
Comments are preety unnecessary here. I would only say 'Total futbol'.
ReplyDeleteAbidal and Valdes use to piss me off so much... But they are playing so good this season!
ReplyDeleteI only hope Pep will rest the key players and give chance to some subs (I suppose Bojan, Busquets, Caceres / Hleb). Otherwise, tactically and technically perfect game.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it is extremely important to keep both feet (and both hands :) on the groung because we still didn't encountered real tests so far.
ok here you are..
ReplyDeleteBarcelona lead the Liga "although temporarly" for the first time since... i dont know but really long time
first hattrick for Eto'o this season
9th cosecutive win
3rd cosecutive clean sheet
highest goal number in the liga 24
Ero'o became Liga top scorer with 9goals
first goal for Alves with barca and first goal for a new commer this season!!!!!
Voallllla

ReplyDeleteoooooooooooooh...i dont even know what to say anymore.
ReplyDeleteAbidal is back!!!
1. Eto'o
2. Abidal
3. Valdez
Great game, a pleasure to watch. Only thing that bothers me is the substitutions, why leave on Eto'o and Messi? I thought it would have been nice to leave Henry on for a bit longer while Eto'o and Messi could get well deserved rest.
ReplyDeleteA late tackle on Messi could have been disastrous but lucky for all nothing serious happened.
great game 5 zero 10 goals in 2 games pepe has done a great job a very good start
ReplyDeletei would like to say one thing do for the sub. i think what he is doing is great and why is it great because no one understand it and as long as we dont understand it we will keep on winning . last year you could guess the starting linup in a second now its really confusing for other teams and that by it self is an advantage i love now in barca even the subs.
i think he left messi and eto to keep the pressure on the other team.
were looking very goood iam proud of barza !!! keep it up all the way...
ReplyDeletei just saw the highlights and im very disapointed that i missed this game. eto's third goal was so nice and dani alves freekick was beautiful... i should quit my job to watch barca more :)
ReplyDeleteabi is awesome!
ReplyDeletekeep it up.
