La liga is in full force and after a (somewhat lucky) draw at Mestalla
at midweek, Barcelona is this weekend playing another important
match. Currently very hot striker Falcao and his Atletico Madrid is
coming to Camp Nou.

Atletico got seven points from first four matches in La liga. They got
one defeat, one draw and now to consecutive 4-0 victories. Diego
Costa will be missing due to longterm injury. Godin recovered from his
injury and will be back in the team. A bit doubtfull due to some injury
problems is a new reinforcement Diego.

Pep Guardiola won't be able to use Iniesta, Alexis and Afellay due to
their injuries. Pique is returning to the team after he recovered from
his injury. Everyone else is more or less good to go for the match.

This is a very important match and we can't afford another slip-up.
But the match will tough and our defence will be severely tested
once again.​

Ok, time to bounce back and kick those mierdadistas... we better play good defensively or Falcao will fuk us.. I just dont want to see anymore 3-4-3 and no Keita as starter please.

lets go like this..

-------------------VV--------------------
Dani Alves---Puyol------Abidal------Adriano
----------------Busquets-----------------
-----Xavi-------------------Fabregol-----
--Pedro----------Messi--------------Villa

The 3-4-3 may be useful or not depending on the attacking plan of the rival. In the case of Atlético, with a good winger like Reyes, I'd be more cautious.

Considering the presence of Falcao, it is important to avoid set pieces, since they're good at them and it's one of our weakest points.

Aside this, as always, it's important to control the midfield. Mario Suarez, Diego and Turan are good players.

It should be a game to enjoy and we must win.

The curse of Torres, Aguero, Falcao?

Diego picked up a muscle injury last weekend against Racing and he didn't play against Sporting a few days ago. He's in the squad though and will feature if he's 100%, although I do think Tiago probably has a better shot at starting as Manzano won't risk Diego if he isn't fully fit. The biggest blow for now is that SĂ­lvio is out with a muscle injury and won't be playing at right-back, so that means Perea is starting there and he's horrendous as a fullback.

4-3-3, please. The best team, please. Players in their own positions, please :D

I think we should have been ahead of Madrid considerably by now. They have been shit. Unfortunately, we have been dropping points as well. A win vs Atletico Madrid would be a nice start to a winning streak. Go, Barca!

Tough game with Atletico in fine scoring form and Falcao on fire the last couple of games. It's a home game so the 3 points are a must. We just need to be extra careful from setpieces and crosses.

Potentially a crazy game (5-3?).

Thanks amigo. 3-4-3 again then.. unless Busquets plays in CB, which is weird since we have both Puyi and Pique back. Looks like Atleti benched Arda Turan and want to go with 4-5-1 with 3 central mids soaking up pressure and releasing El Tigre Falcao on the counterattack.

lol Dive Maria sent off for a 2nd yellow, handball. The guy is the biggest cheater in football right now with Pepe le Pew. A walking comedy show. Plays in the right team, cheating is in their DNA, every year inventing new ways of cheating. 3-2 now, clearly over the line and lol at iker. Hilarious how RM are playing bunker defence footie at home against a newly promoted relegation candidate. VAMO MI RAYO, COMO UN RAYITO!!! : D
