Unais boys are really strong at home, tough game for Barcelona in Andalucia.

 

If Frank has any shame he'll bench Henry this time. Gio/Bojan will undoubtedly contribute more than him.

Marquez should also play if he's fit. Milito should be given a rest.

Madrid are facing Depor next week-end. On paper it's an easy game but they haven't beaten them in the Riazor in the last 17 years so there's a slight chance that will drop points and that's makes this game even more crucial for us. We just cannot afford to draw let alone lose.

 

I just hope we wont see your line-up. :yuck: Btw, Iniesta picked up his 5th yellow so he'll miss this match.

Its going to be very tough, Almeria are physically very strong. They have some tanks in their team and I doubt we'll win there. Guddy is needed IMO, this type of matches fits perfectly for him.

 

I just hope we wont see your line-up. :yuck: Btw, Iniesta picked up his 5th yellow so he'll miss this match.

Forgot about Andrés' yellow card. Xavi and Deco it will be and I'm praying not to see that line-up. I would devastated if we see that shitty starting XI again.

BTW the players have been given a 2 days rest (54 hours to be more precise). I don't what they did to deserve it.

 

I think you'll scrape out the 1-0 win. They're not as good as they played against us, you'll overcome them IMO. Agree with those who said Henry cannot start, but we know Frank won't give Bojan the start despite him fully earning it.

 

We need results to go our way this weekend or we will need to simply focus on keeping a CL spot as far as the league goes. If Madrid get a win against Depor, given how rarely they win there AND given it's one of their hardest remaining fixtures because of that, then it's all but over as far as the title goes.

 

like Madrid said last year, every game is a final now...11 games, 11 finals... if we win all of them we will be champions, because Madrid is also not playing well, they struggled to beat Espanyol who were in terrible form.

so lets make this the first final, first victory...hope to see the team refreshed after their break!

I also dont agree with the general sentiment that it was all a disaster vs Villareal... Villareal are a very strong team...for me the positives of that game were Ronaldinho improving his game, and at a time we showed some agression, which we need to do all the time in every game from now on!

 

We Have to be flawless from here on in, Real will want to be near perfect too... They can afford at least two slip ups - We can't afford one, This has to be a win and IT WILL BE !!

 

Basically it's do or die now, our backs are up against the wall.

 

A slip-up would be the final blow to any chances of triumph.

I think that ship has sailed.

We should let the young guns play this one. Start Bojan and Giovani, and Ronaldinho to complete the trident..

Madrid can fail all they want, it will be hard for them to lose the league with us playing like this. We must choose our priorities. In my eyes, those are the cup and the CL. Use these league games to give minutes to youth (who deserve them anyway), rest important players like Yaya and Iniesta and hope everyone is fit and motivated for Valencia.

 

**** it lads,The show is over.There is nothing much that can be said now.

 

I share your feelings. I'm very disappointed with the team, because once again they didn't show any winner attitude in the key moments of La Liga, which makes me pessimistic about the other competitions too.

Now it's time to keep the decency and win just to keep the heads up until the end.

 

We must win this one and stay 5 pts behind Mierda they will slip up at La Courna.

 

Counting your chickens...

 

I expect this line-up:

Valdes
Zambrotta-Puyol-Milito-Abidal
Edmilson
Xavi-Deco
Henry-Eto'o-Ronaldinho

We are in deep shit without Marquez, Toure, Iniesta and Messi...

 

Tough game against a typical counter attacking side. With so many vital players out it will look even tougher but we can still put out a world class lineup that should be able to beat these grinders. If we don't, it's probably adios a la liga.

 

The thought of seeing Edmilson on the pitch gives me nightmares. He's gonna a non factor again. :wallbang:

And it seems like Deco won't be risked in this game so Guddy-Xavi will be our CM combo.

 

Almeria is a nice name. A nice sound to it.

 

I think this will be so useful for you about the neam, it comes from the Mirror in English, its Almeraia in Arabic.

Think we'll comfortablyeek win this one but I agree with the posters that also believe our La Liga chances are somewhere between nowhere and non-existent now.

We shot ourselves in the foot with a cannon.We'll just have to see this year out with pride which for me means no double digit leads and no giving up of that automatic qualification. When it all said and done, if we can get this ish down to five and grab the Copa as well that won't be too embarrassing.

 

Gade, tell me you didn't just use the word "ish." :howler: p

 

why shouldn't I?

 

I dunno, it's pretty gay in a gangster teeny-bopper way, but nevermind, I'm just pulling your leg. p

 

Oh okay, learn something new everyday. I use it when I don't feel like saying "shit", didn't know it had that connotation.:googly:

 

Try "shizzle".

 

Fvck I just found out that Zambrotta is suspended too for this game which means...:scared:

 

Which means the great man UH-UH-Olegeur will be back

 

Which means the great man UH-UH-Olegeur will be back

Oh ****in......we're ****ed on that side man! :wallbang:

 

Don't worry Henry who earns a gazzilion times more money will do the job.

 

Only player suspended for this match is Zambrotta.

Iniesta will play since he and Milito are one yellow card away from suspension.

 

Iniesta is suspended too. He picked up his fifth yellow last Sunday.

 

That's what I thought as well but Tomaz22 is right,

"Carles Puyol, however, will return to Frank Rijkaard's squad having missed the game against Villarreal due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Andrés Iniesta and Gaby Milito are currently just one booking away from being suspended for one match."
