Llevant - Barça

Iniesta has been playing on the wing ever since he publicly stated that "I don't see it normal that I'm on the bench this much". Probably has something to do with it.

I really wish we didn't get Cesc. He complained and through a fit at the Euros when he wasn't starting for Spain and has throwing fits with us since arriving about not starting or being allowed to play the full 90 mins. He is playing on a team for both club and country with arguably the strongest midfield duo in the world. And he is complaining? He knew the situation, and if he doesn't like he should of just stayed at Arsenal. Barca is a team, and not one player should be more important that the team. And to top it off he has a good game every other game he plays. So he isnt consistent and yet he still complains

We should'nt of got him so early, but we will need him in the future when Xavi retires and Iniesta becomes older.

That I agree with. I just wish he would accept his role and not throw fits. Like I said he even did it with Spain at the Euro's. Dudes not used to not being the best player on the field given his quick rise to stardom he has experienced since being a child and playing for Arsenal. At Barca he isn't the top dog, not even in the slightest.

imo, Thiago is going to be the new Xavi. Cesc is more like Iniesta.

Who cares. We have him at the moment and well he is part of the team. Tito likes rotating and well Fabregas provides both Xavi and Iniesta for crucial rest. Fab hasn't complained much. There was a report by MARCA earlier on in the year but he hushed it up saying, he expected it as one does not simply replace Xavi, Iniesta or Messi... He knows and has said that he has to work hard to have a place on the starting side.

If we win this game, we go 11 points over Madrid and still 3 points over Atletico if they win over Sevilla.

A must win game.We must be relentless and tighten the noose on Madrid.
And our injury woes just wont go away.It seems everytime a player comes back,another two go out due to injury.Getting ridiculous now.

Anyone remember much about the referee, Pedro Perez?...I see he's only reffed the 5-0 Mallorca match with Barcelona being involved since being promoted to the Primera

Seems to not be shy about booking with perhaps a slight advantage given to home teams in how quick he is to book

Tello needs to start this game, no question.

Playing Iniesta on the flank would be silly in a game such a this. Get Cesc to the bench if need be.

We know what Levante are like, if you put Iniesta then you only have one player playing in behind the defence. Levante want everything in front.

the idea of leaving madrid 11 points behind...
com on Barca! we can do this!
also i agree, a tello pedro messi fw line would be great for this game

Official lineup, would've preferred Tello starting but better still, he can bring the speed later

Valdes - Alves Pique Puyol Alba - Xavi Busquets Cesc - Pedro Messi Iniesta

I was hoping for Tello as well, he'll be much more useful against a team like Levante than Iniesta on the wing...

Well, Tito starting to make the same mistake of fitting in Cesc just because he was expensive.

This is sad. I dont care how well Cesc is playing, the team is more important.

I thought Tito was taking us back to 3 real forwards.

sad indeed...
we seem to be unable to unlock them for now. let's hope it won't take him long to sub tello in

If it goes like this, i see it ending either way; draw, win or loose.

It's not lack of creation but just plain squandering of chances. We're getting so many of them we're bound to score one. Our finishing has been atrocious.

If it wern't for Iniesta's pass we wouldn't of scored so having on the wing isn't completely useless.. no worries Tello will come in soon.

and again another assist from Iniesta FROM the wing, you guys shouldn't hate so much.

Ok, iniesta on the wing is being Seriously wow

Oh trust me I never did. Not San andres

And I hope dani alves isn't out for too long although u gotta love the la masia XI on the pitch right now

what a game from Iniesta

The mere fact that we extended our lead to 11 points is worth a small party.



Iniesta.

Second half was awesome. I had so much fun. And Iniesta showed in the alst two games why he is the European King
