liga : Vilareal-FCB , Saturday, 01 May (22.00)

[mhrelayyan]

after the disappointing result in CL it is time to go back and defend the liga in this important match , like puyol said winning this match means that we almost won the liga since the other strong match which is seville match would be easier since seville will be focused on copa del rey final.
the most important things is that hopefuly the players moved their thinking from inter match and focus on saturdays match , the good news is that villareal is an attacking team which should leave spaces for messi who should give his best in this match along with pedro , it is nice to have puyol rested and pique in top form. , the expected formation :

alves puyol pique max
xavi yaya kieta
messi ibra pedro

forza barca :clap

[Barcelinha]

hard game, but i have the feeling they'll be pumped for it. Losing CL should motivate them even more to win La Liga.

i suppose Abidal will return?

abidal was in the last training so he might play but it is not confirmed.

[Barcantina]

I think Abidal will play, he's served his time already, for God's sake this season he spent more time injured him and Iniesta.

I'm sure the players will give it everything, I just feel that they know they can't afford to lose and they will go out to finish the game from early on...

i agree he spent most of the season injured , imagine if we dont have maxwell :ninja and yes the players should go and finish the job from the start

[Barcantina]

I'm sure they still have a bitter taste from Wednesday's game, but this should only be a great motivation to go out and win, and I'm not worried, it's like they played bad against Inter in Midweek, it just wasn't meant to be, so the form is there and I'm sure they can do it...

[C]

-----------------------valdes----------------------
--alves----------pique----------puyol----------max-
---------------xavi-----yaya----keita--------------
---------messi----------ibra---------pedro---------

what id like to see. and xavi may play according to sport.

[Barcantina]

If Abidal is fit, then I'd like to see him instead of Maxwell, and maybe start off with jefferen as well.... I love his speed...

[SirReal Madrid]

Prediction: 1-3 barca.

[Barcantina]

Valdés, Pinto, Alves, Maxwell, Piqué, Puyol, Márquez, Txigrinski, Milito, Keita, Touré, Sergio, Xavi, Messi, Thiago, Bojan, Jeffren, Pedro, Henry, Ibrahimovic.

Abidal was given the green light but wasn't selected by PEP. Xavi is still doubtful.

[BarçaChica]

If Xavi's doubtful... who'll fill in the right side? :(

[Barcantina]

If Xavi's doubtful... who'll fill in the right side? :(

If I can make it to spain on time.. I will :laugh

[BarçaChica]

:P :P :P

I'd die if it were Busi Yaya and Keita :ninja

sport.es

El centrocampista de Terrassa se entrenó con normalidad con el resto de sus compañeros y entró en la lista de convocados con el resto del equipo para afrontar el díficil partido en Villarreal. Abidal se quedó fuera de la lista de 20 convocados.

Xavi will play. abidal wont, but he is training normally.

[Barcelinha]

good news.

[BarçaChica]

Awesome! We need Xavi in midfield... we're better off with him even when he's not that inspired

[mhrelayyan]

what is the story of abidal ?? he was injured for most of the season :ninja

[C]

abidal is good but pep doesnt want to risk him. just precautionary to have him out. and i think hes being extra careful because he came back too early last time perhaps.

[mhrelayyan]

IMO pep should risk him since this match is very important for the liga.

[C]

keep in mind this is a world cup year, pep cares about him im sure and doesnt want to ruin his world cup chances as well as the rest of the season.

[mhrelayyan]

this match should have been on sunday and real match on saturday but the spanish federation want real to play knowing the result of barca.

[Barcelinha]

why are we even surprised????? :handbags

[Stephh<3]

i won't be watching this but i hope we win! (:

[Barcantina]

;3618111']i won't be watching this but i hope we win! (:

Why not, you have a date? :-)

[Stephh<3]

nahh. im going to the bamboozle for the whole day (:

[C]

hmm. never heard of such a thing. have fun either way. ill have to dvr this game.

[mhrelayyan]

Abidal is omitted from the team despite being given the green light ?? cant understand why , he is needed in this match.

[Barcelinha]

Pep is clearly racist :laugh :ninja

[El Capitan]

Pep is clearly racist :laugh :ninja

Nah, maybe its to not risk aggrevating it early like before. He may be needed in later games

[paman]

I think maybe because Maxwell will be more offensive, Pep might be looking for Barca to go on an early blitz?

[Barcelinha]

i hope so.

truth is, Abidal did get injured right after he had returned from a lengthy lay off, so i agree he should be rested for a bit more.

[mhrelayyan]

i hope so.

truth is, Abidal did get injured right after he had returned from a lengthy lay off, so i agree he should be rested for a bit more.

i read now that abidal dont want to play :ninja it seems he is afraid to be injured again which mean he will miss the world cup.

lol. you and i discussed this yesterday on page one.

[mhrelayyan]

that was before he got the green light to play

[mhrelayyan]

the team traveled to to this match by train , all fans in MD poll want bojan to start instead of ibra.

[Barcelinha]

i'm not surprised. Bojan actually did something in teh Inter game :laugh

[Loves To Spooge]

id start bojan instead. If anything the team in general doesnt play as well when Zlatan is in it.

[Barcelinha]

well, i was actually thinking BDO should be given some time out and start Bojan for the reminder of the 4 games.

BDO can come off the bench, if needed.

[mhrelayyan]

what if pep also in this match let ibra start and we lost the match :ninja

[The Devil]

Fear Peps Henry hate could cost you the league aswell as the Champions league this season . The few games I've watched of late have been crying out for Henry to come on and add his worth . Ibra adds nothing to your attack he doesn't get in behind the defence which is something the role he plays requires . Pedro should be playing a role from the bench not first choice he isnt ready yet .

[Barcelinha]

you're simply wrong here. Henry's been subbed in a few times and did nothing. it shows he's past it.

whilst Don Pedro's scored a host of goals, more than Ibra now, i'm sure.

No Im not .

Henry has had a few bad games but he still has alot of class . Maybe Pep has been using him wrong but he isnt finished yet . In fact I would of fancied your chances more on Wednesday with him on the field .

As for Pedro Im not saying he is a bad player Im saying he is a great young player who can improve with rotation . At the moment there is to much pressure to early for a young talent . The goal during the game you attended showed he has ability in the bucket loads .

Linha you seem to have a problem reading people's opinions stop taking things so serious people have opinions .


:whip

[Barcelinha]

i think i've seen Henry more than you have this season, since i didn't miss any barca games, be them on tv or live lol, and i think he's done.

his best assets were pace and decision making and he's poor at both now, and this, after all, is my opinion, so yeah....

Fair enough linha :nod

[Casual33]

Pedro has impressed me this season. I think he really is ready to get the time he's been getting. Are there better players? Sure. But he's another home grown talent that is cheap and has the drive to win.

Henry...don't know why Pep hates him as his last couple appearances were pretty positive. He's pretty much done with top flight play but should certainly be used more on this team in lieu of lesser players. Ahem...jeffren

[Barcelinha]

Lineup: valdes, alves, pique, puyol, max, sergi, xavi, keita, pedro, messi, BOJAN

Looks like Pep's been reading this forum :laugh

no Yaya though, :censored:

[Loves To Spooge]

i really dont agree about henry

this season hes played 45 good minutes vs valencia. After that im really struggling to think of a good performance

[Loves To Spooge]

Lineup: valdes, alves, pique, puyol, max, sergi, xavi, keita, pedro, messi, BOJAN

Looks like Pep's been reading this forum :laugh

no Yaya though, :censored:

im getting a bit pissed off with the continual inclusion of the cheat and omission of Yaya.

At least bojan starts, to be honest Ibra must be worried, why else would he have been dropped other than his piss poor efforts in two games against Inter?

[mrgrumble]

Im actually glad the Swedish imposter is dropped.

[Barcelinha]

i'm sure that it must sting a lot for Ibra. but 'performances' like his must be punished somehow.

let's just hope Bojan doesn't get overwhelmed, :holy247

i've said it a million times, Yaya not starting big games is baffling as hell!!

[Loves To Spooge]

why the hell is Keita being picked ahead of yaya too?

hes been bollocks recently, he gives Xavi two jobs to do with his piss poor passing and lack of control.

Toures obviously offski at the end of the season. Terrible bit of business imo, best DM in the world. We might be in a better position overall had he played more this season

[Loves To Spooge]

people can say he needs to adapt, but hes been there nearly a full season now, are folk telling me he still doesnt know how to press defenders and make them work?

one thing that pissed me off midweek was watching eto'o chase back in a left back position to bloke one of alves' crosses, hes just got more desire than Zlatan

[Barcelinha]

i will be raging if the Yaya is sold only to buy that Argie twat, cause it's obvious you can't rely on Busquets alone.......

it's funny cause he started well. a goal each game for 7/8 games was it? then WHAT HAPPENED?

and indeed, what exactly do we expect to happen over the summer? i'd not sell him, cause it's such bad business....

hes always had a reputation for being a moody inconsistant bastard, and you can see it.

Started well, but when he lost form he was worse than poor, we'd have been aswell playing with 10 men.

[Barcelinha]

yup. yet, PEP - our lord and saviour - wanted him badly. i have - little - hope that he will be better next year.

[Loves To Spooge]

id love to be proven wrong, but i think you're right, just dont see it happening for him.

How i wish we'd just pushed the boat out for Villa instead :(

[Barcantina]

Time for Bojan to show PEP that he should stay at Barca, the next 3 games are as now or never for him...I'm glad to see him starting and I hope he doesn't let me down.

[Ashraf]

FFS wth are Villarreal wasting !!

[Madridista]

Nilmar had already two 100% chances..

[Loves To Spooge]

1-0 messi

great goal

[Ashraf]

here we go ofc after wasting both chances they gotta get their arses kicked , what a bunch of retards !

2-0 xavi

******* brilliant

[paman]

xavi!!!

[C]

villarreal had a few nice chances, mainly nilmar, but we got lucky there. lucky on the messi goal due to deflection, but great free kick from xavi. he doesnt score many of those. we are playing alright, but we are doing well to put our chances away

[Loves To Spooge]

well done bojan

that was sublime

[Barcantina]

Linha just had an orgasm....looooool

[C]

golazo bojan. pure class. bravo.

[paman]

3-0 Bojan!

Looks like Barca have bounced right back

[Casual33]

Ridiculous goal by Bojan. Great attacking first half

[Loves To Spooge]

3-0 at half time to a team who have been winning all their games recently
excellent

[Barcantina]

This is a team that was knocked out of the champions league midweek.... Great Response.

[C]

we are putting our chances away. doing really well there, defensively we have been fortunate. that being said, 3-0 at the half, cant really complain much. must be said bojan is more useful than ibra right now, no doubt in my mind.

[Dragonlord]

great goal by bojan.

[Loves To Spooge]

the team so much more fluid, and just all round better without zlatan

[C]

the team so much more fluid, and just all round better without zlatan

hes too slow, his off the ball movement is garbage, and his finishing isnt great. he doesnt fit our system. bojan atleast can switch to the wings and let messi/pedro int he middle to give some variety.

[Vacilinha]

We are back.

Come on guys, it's just 4 games.

Yes, we can!

[Barcelinha]

and people ask me why i believe in Bojan? :wub :wub :wub THIS is why,


we've been great, the response we all hoped for and believed in after the black wednesday and i must say that sometimes scoring goals just seems ridiculously easy. :D

Messi's goal [+ Xavi's assist] was awesome and Xavi's freekick, perfect!!!!!!

however, we have to be careful, Villarreal are quick and Nilmar is kinda raping Maxwell!

[C]

messi's goal was a deflection just to let everyone know who didnt get a good angle. the ball by xavi was perfect though, and the slide from godin wrong footed diego lopez.

[Barcelinha]

ah ok.

this makes Bojan's goal, goal of the night so far :bowing

[Barcantina]

messi's goal was a deflection just to let everyone know who didnt get a good angle. the ball by xavi was perfect though, and the slide from godin wrong footed diego lopez.

True, it was a deflection, but has it not been a deflection, it would've probably ended being a goal as well.... you never know though... oh and credit for the ball control while turning

[paman]

Puts the pressure right back on MAdrid i guess. Good rebound from Barca, no matter the performace, 0-3 is impressive at half time.

Is it me or the ref should have given Sergi a red? :laugh
What an idiot :laugh we should have played one man down :laugh

[Barcelinha]

stupid conceded goal. anyone else thinks Valdes' been sloppy lately??

good win, i thought the ref was too "English", lots of fouls not given. i thought Busquets was a legit foul that spurred the Villarreal goal, for instance.

and wtf was with the sub, Busquets, the ref...looked like a send off, but ??

[Loves To Spooge]

Is it me or the ref should have given Sergi a red? :laugh
What an idiot :laugh we should have played one man down :laugh

im sure he'll be suspended now, think he gave him the second yellow after the substitution, ach i dunno, it was a bit wierd :D

Linda, valdes has been sloppy, two awful clearances tonight that probably should have been punished.

42nd of the season for messi, 38 goals last season, 42 so far this season, thats unbelievable to be honest

[Casual33]

Great result obviously. This could have been a season killer if they didn't come out strong. The yellow submarine are always a very tough matchup as well and after surviving an initial scare the result never seemed to be in doubt.

Very smooth and fluent play tonight, very entertaining. Bojan's goal was the highlight of the match for me and the passage of play that lead to Messi's 2nd was also impressive. Gotta love (actually I kinda don't) the Busquets nonsense yet again. He's a bit of a clown and I wish he would just play.

Beautiful rebound match though


Edit...yea sloppy play for Valdes and was lucky not to be hurt by it. He's been so solid and making a case for a WC spot. Don't ruin it now

[Barcelinha]

i think Vades doesn't want to go to the WC. :laugh

i think this is the 3rd or 4th game in a row he does something stupid!

Dani's been crossing better.

i'm just so glad to see them smile again, seems they're over the shocker.

must be said, Pedro's turned a bit selfish, he should pass more instead of trying to score long range goals all the time :nono

good win. valdes was absolute sh!t today, he was the valdes of old. and im a big valdes fan too...

anyways, thought puyol was great today. maxwell struggled a bit, but all in all good team performance. now on to tenerife tuesday. they are playing really well and are fighting against the drop, we must not take them lightly.

LMFAO exactly how I feel. I just laughed tonight:laugh but hey, this wasn't his fault. The ref has amnesia :laugh

Valdes isn't going to WC2010... The random incidents like tonight count more for him than the perfect performances while other goalies f*ck up and are still cutting it. meh. I don't wanna discuss it

i thought pedro was one of the better players tonight personally. i enjoyed seeing him take things upon himself.

[Barcelinha]

he's played well, no doubt. but he's trying too hard to score from outside the box instead of potentially more useful passing.

thought he did the same vs. Inter.

i like that though. we have too many times tried to pass our way into the goal. we rarely have any blasts from outside the box, we need that to open things up imo. maybe its just me.

[El Capitan]

Just got off the plane from Barcelona and checking the forum for the results as we speak...seems like we handled them!

Someone describe Bojan's goal for me, please?

[Spanky144]

good game to watch...
I think it's time for Bojan to start from now on.. give the boy a chance.

Ibra, gtfo.

bojan gets ball around 40 yards from goal, beats his man by playing it around him one way and running the other, dribbles into the box, gets challenged by lopez and hits it side netting. great gaol.

Thanks hun. This will satisfy the hunger till i get to my mums place tomorrow, got it dvr'd :

[Barcelinha]

the game as a whole wasn't THAT good. i thought we were quite sloppy in defence and leaving lots of space for the Villarreal players......

but the goals were top notch :wub

[Loves To Spooge]

turns out that yellow card was for Llorente not Busquets :D

[BarçaChica]

^ Ah thanks for clearing that out!

[C]

actually, sport is saying there is still confusion over the card and busquets cound be suspended.

http://sport.es/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=44&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=709931&idseccio_PK=803

[Stephh<3]

we won!!!! yay (: i havent seen highlights or anything but at least we got the 3 points!!!

[mhrelayyan]

first of all i hope busquets is suspended since he is too stupid , first when the villareal player was injured instead of shoot the ball outside the play he run with it , they take it and do a counter attack which lead to the goal and then that incedent , he know he got a yellow card and do that , WTF ? in every match he is doing something stupid.
back to the match , barca played great , they reminded us of last season , pep listened it seems to fans who wanted bojan to start instead of ibra and he did great great movement and a great goal , this shows that bojan should stay with barca for years to come. xavi was in great form scoring from a FK and creating 2 goals for messi and bojan.

edit : i read now that the ref gave the card not to busqets but to lorente who wanted sergio to go out qiuckly.

[Barcelinha]

sooooo, Sergi was going out but taking his time lol and Llorente pushed him..ok.

if he's suspended, at least we know Yaya will play :laugh

[mhrelayyan]

exactly , i hope he is suspended for the next 3 matches to see yaya as a starter again with barca :cool

[Barcelinha]

i think the suspension is only 1 game :laugh

[Jamiew]

I hope Busquets gets suspended for life. He's just become a big joke to the club.

[Barcelinha]

everyone is overreacting. i can't remember half the gripe when Messi used to roll around, honestly.

yes, the rolling around was a bit too much and he was obviously doing it with a purpose. but the foul was there and the yellow was deserved. end of!

instead of taking Busquets to Camp Nou and executing him for crimes against fair play, let's just try to get over the event and move the fvck on.

[BarçaChica]

It's funny how you say that Linha when all you cared about until recently was writing off Pedro and Henry ofc

The problem for me is this is not an isolated incident with Busquets. He's always made a meal of being fouled but I feel like this year he's ratcheted up the play acting to the level of Alves and beyond. And really it won't stop unless the fans get on the players.

[C]

busquets is a very good player, as ive said a million other times. pep needs to slap him around a little bit to get him to stop overacting and just being a little sh!t. but honestly, it probably wont stop until refs stop buying it. because they buy it all the time from sergio.

seriously though, fair point. Id also like to point out that messi doesnt have a history of 'rolling about'. Busquets does this regularly and with minimal contact at the best of times, its embarrassing for the team

[BarçaChica]

With a couple of lessons from Dani, Busi could become a pro though... :laugh

No seriously, I think he also uses the fact that's he's so damn skinny and probably does fall from little knocks so they're not all acts. I think Pep needs to have a chat with him :nod

[Loves To Spooge]

Puyol should take him into the gym and build him up a little bit

[C]

it has nothing to do with his size. acting has nothing to do with size. id agree if he fell and got back up, or winced for a second or 2. but he rolls all over the place, holds the wrong part of his leg from where he was hit, holds his face when he was hit anywhere near the head...its all an act. nothing to do with his stature, has to do with his style.

[BarçaChica]

I think he uses his stature to pull off these emmy winning acts :ninja
He might not fall down easily but looks like he would... I'm not sure if this makes any sense LoL

[C]

hmm. i guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

[Loves To Spooge]

you reckon if someone bumped into him when he was out doing the shopping he'd roll around on the ground like a poof?

[BarçaChica]

No :laugh but it's different on the pitch :D
Let's agree to disagree LoL

[Loves To Spooge]

him and alves need to cut it out anyway. its cheating and you dont want them tarring the team with that.

Seriously though, sometimes when he rolls around i wish i could punch him in the feckin neck :D

But yh ofc they need to cut it out but so do many other players in la Liga and in other leagues. It's an issue that should be dealt with in football generally

[Loves To Spooge]

possibly :laugh

LoL :ninja

But yh ofc they need to cut it out but so do many other players in la Liga and in other leagues. It's not an issue that should be dealt with in football generally

thats true. But you always want your team to be above that sort of thing.

It still makes me laugh that after the CL semi all the talk was about busquets when he cheated once, and the likes of Lucio cheated several times throughout the game

this stuff will happen until refs cut it out of the game. they buy busquet's tactics all the time.

it has nothing to do with his size. acting has nothing to do with size. id agree if he fell and got back up, or winced for a second or 2. but he rolls all over the place, holds the wrong part of his leg from where he was hit, holds his face when he was hit anywhere near the head...its all an act. nothing to do with his stature, has to do with his style.

That cheeky little glance so reminded of Rivaldo in that WC match against Turkey where he 'convinced' the ref into a sending off.

He'll probaby will never get another major decision in his life, lol

one of the low points in any game ive seen. absolute garbage from a barcelona legend.

Awesome sig mate

heard no rumors as such.

Diving and play acting will never end because the game is too fast for the refs to always get the calls right. So, to me it seems its up to the supporters and the media to call out the offenders until they change. The fact is embellishing works on the field and rarely is punished. So the punishment must come from elsewhere.

It's funny how you say that Linha when all you cared about until recently was writing off Pedro and Henry ofc
because i was bashing them based on form - or lack thereof - in Titi's case and out of pure clouded judgment - in Pedro's case.

nowt to do with certain incidents blown out of proportion :holy247
