Any chance that Ferriera will play in front of Brana and Azpi? #badjoke

I do agree on Cole's not-so-good performances recently but since you've mentioned Hazard, what about the Manure game in the PL for example? Were their first 2 goals all because of Cole's mistakes or did Hazard skip his defending duties as well? Like @chelseathebest said, experience is key.

Have you seen Bertrand against Srna?

No. No, he doesn't. No and no.

Guys it's obvious that Ashley's absence is a weakness for us, I'm not saying Ryan is bad but he's not as good defensively as Ashley. We've seen that now in 3 or 4 matches, most of the goals we conceded are from Ryan's side. Some kind of joke: Go buy Anthony Pilkington since almost every striker is better than Torres.

Again, RDM MUST GIVE THE GERMAN A CHANCE FFS!! And did Cech have more goal attempts than Torres? I think so.

He's older than Hazard and Oscar, got some European experience, was quite impressive in pre-season and our first signing for this season!! I hope things get better for him.

Exactly, despite having most of the pressure from us on him and he's just really physical defensively, Didier would have taught him a lesson.. Ryan is no Ashley so we had to rely on the right more. Had Ashley been there we would've won I think. Totally agree on everything, except that Cech was the best out of our side because he made 2 powerful saves and otherwise we would have been even more angry now.

RDM has no right to ignore him like that. This is absolutely unfair. What the hell is going on?

3 Different competitions, 3 corners, 3 goals. He deserves to play more, I say play him instead of Torres some time to see what will happen.

I knew what I was talking about when I was criticising Luiz's season before this game, he's still a very good defender but he keeps making mistakes, Cahill was a better CB today... RDM was supposed to do something to stop Srna from corssing all those balls, it was like watching the same thing over and over again when they attack: Let's move quickly, pass around, give it to Srna, Srna will cross and here's our goal attempt. But so glad we earned the 3 points, Mazacar brilliant as always and Moses reminded me of Drogba with that header. We need to win in Torino in order to be real title contenders.

Maybe it's the Atletico game, I don't know I just feel worried whenever he plays.

Xavi was regularly on the bench? Really? Wow. Apart from Xavi, after the 2006 final, all three players were regulars, particularly in Rijkaard's final season. We'll see if he's truly a genius when he manages another club.. You might as well say that he was the one that invented Barca's style of playing, not Cruyff.

Again, I like Luiz but I'm talking about this season, mate. He's making quite some bad moves on the pitch. I would love it if he proves me wrong in the upcoming matches.

Guardiola is Mr. No Plan B, Mr. Same Substitutions In Every Game,.. etc. He doesn't have any credit for bringing out the talent in Barca's powerful trio, and let's not forget Overbo's part in his success as well.

I've been more impressed by Cahill-Ivanovic than any other combination. I like Luiz a lot but I prefer the other 3 CBs because I don't think he'll stop rushing forward.. And I disagree on Cahill, he has been really good so far imo.

Guardiola will probably do an AVB with his next club. Yeah 'cause Robbie managed Messi, Xavi and Iniesta and failed.

I'm more concerned about Luiz than I am about Torres, I think the defence is more solid without him. In MAZACAR I trust.

We can't face another English side in the round of 16.

Exactly, and yet we get slammed for playing starters against Manure in the C1 Cup.. We should have bought replacements for both Drogba and Meireles. Last season it was the opposite, we had quantity but lacked quality.

I just loved Roman's facepalm.. any screencaps?

I'm happy and all but I'm worried about Mata for playing 120 minutes, we need him against Swansea!

Henrique

Well maybe they want him to get his "confidence" back.
