no henry put hleb on the left wing so that we can see if he is good as i know he is

I prefer hleb in kieta place so henry cut in as a second striker with eto'O and hleb drift to the left and Alves push forward on the right flank. Xavi Run the show with Messi on a free role.

Caceres as a LB is better than as a CB for this game, he is still understudy, the mistake on the left is less damaging than in the middle, if he played as a CB and alves pushed forward, then Puyol will act as 3rd CB from the left making Caceres SW, not a good gamble, puyol is definitely better there.

I agree We will have the chance to monitor one of the most promising GK in spain Sergio Asenjo, who is labeled as the new casillas , and who is also a barcelona target, as rumors say.

I am not sure If I have to wish him good luck or not tonight :)

4-0 half.. wat a game eto! visca el barca

Barca nerd-fan said...

Eto'o is back in form!!! 13 goals so far in 10 games!!! And Messi... as usual... world class.

Toure has to stop doing mistakes!!! He is meant to impress Guardiola!!!

And Henry has been much more leaful when he moved towards centre. But he needs time for his amazing finishindg ability to come back as he played on the left for so long!

Let Caceres and Bojan get a chance...

best performance so far\
Guardiola I love you
Poyol.. what shall I say he coverd the whole field
Valdes.. you are the the man
Messi you was soooooo generous
Eto’o?? you scored 4 goals and there was no penalties among them!! “some other poeple was going crazy because their Higuain scored 4 goals 2 of them was penalties!!
Xavi, was a little bit out of form but ad ramzi always says when Xavi is out of form he is good, otherwise he is great!
Alves.. top quality
Henry?? I really wanted him to score, it seemed the whole team wanted so, I’ll keep Kxevin to rate him!!
Tore’ best DM ever ever ever.
Piquet good depth, a bit shaky
Marquez, powerfull like ever.
Hleb, only with you ineista can have a deep sleep! top class touch.
Kieta, good strength to the midfield, but he needs time to recover and blend.
Caceres he did his job as required.
oh I almost forgot, Gudiiiiii, only you can score in this way calm and confident .
fly barca fly………

Wonderful game.
Here is my view on the performances:

Valdes-Very good,no mistakes

Alves-This man is so fast and he has energy to run 90 min. without slowing down,good balance of attack and defence

Marquez-Overal a good game without any noticable mistakes

Pique-I must say this,he was our weakest point tonight,his luck that we had someone to fix his mistakes that could cost as a goal or even a few

Puyol-Candidate for man of the match,played so well and even if he acted on left-back place he saved our ass a couple of times

Toure-Couple of bad moves but his strength and good tackles gave us a dominance in the midfield

Xavi-I dont know if this guy has ever had a bad game,his ball control was just incredible

Guddy-Sometimes too slow but he made no mistakes and even scored,so no complains here

Henry-Wasted many chances,this was not his best game but I am glad that he scored because it was very important for him to do so

Eto-Man of the match,this guy is brilliant,he just loves to score,haha

Messi-Do I have to really praise this guy,he was playing with their defence,it was like kids against a Messi,best player on the earth,enough said

Hleb-He is showing why Barca bought him,fantastic assist for Henry

Caceres-Very good for a time that he played,he should and will get more chance

Keita-He played a little,had a good chance,decent game
