=============================

The game is tomorrow and we have 0 replies to khaled thread opener. Time to forget about draw vs Milan and focus on Osasuna.

What's your line-up prediction? I'd start this team: Valdes - Alves - Puyol - Abidal - Maxwell- Xavi - Busquets - Thiago - Afellay - Messi - Villa

Maxwell has to play, he wasn't in match squad vs Sociedad, was on bench vs Milan, now 3rd game when he is available, he should play IMO. Against Valencia and Villarreal we must use Abi/Adriano as LB, but vs Osasuna IMO Max should play. Afellay deserves a chance, Pedro was subpar in this season, he was very frustrating vs Milan, good that he at least scored this tap-in. That my squad, what's your preferred line-up? Knowing Pep though we will see Keita in starting line-up and Cesc in place of Thiago

Pedro needs to be dropped.Dismal against Milan.Play Afellay instead.
Alves Puyol Abidal and Adriano at the back.Busquets,Xavi and Thiago in midfield.Messi,Villa and Afellay upfront.
Crucial game.Cant afford to drop points for a second straight week cause Stoke certainly wont.
Go for the jugular and finish the job.

Valdes
Alves, Puyol, Masch, Abidal
Xavi, Busq, Cesc
Pedro, Messi, Villa

I hope we manage a comfortable victory mainly for morale reasons

Well I see the reasoning behind some of you guys' selections but it won't happen.

If Sergio plays CB and Keita's in midfield I'll rage so hard... As long as that doesn't happen I'm not too concerned.

I highly doubt Thiago will start and I'd like to think Afellay will start, but I'm not sure. Pedro's been in bad form.

This

I smell a manita here xDDDD

Here ie the Line-up:

Valdés, Alves, Puyol, Mascherano, Abidal, Sergio Busquets, Xavi, Thiago, Villa, Messi and Cesc

English stream?

abidal seems to be in bad form or maybe he is finished even

GOAL

Well...that's 3 points in the bag

Brilliant diagonal ball though.

English stream: http://www.firefoots.com/ch1.html

This is ot 3 points in the bag yet.

We need to keep attacking and put the game out of reach. We need to score at least 1-2 more minimum.

Fabregas looking great.

And Alves awesome so far.

Fabregas can easily score 40 goals in a False 9 position

That was a lovely combination for the Fabregas goal.

Outstanding technical skill.

where is the live chat on the main page

Shit, Barcelona has 85 percent ball possession, and just now they almost scored with EVERY SINGLE player touching the ball in the build-up.

I guess Barcelona does have another season under its sleave.

Although not very efficient still, couple sitters that should have been goals there.

Still, Alves MOTM so far to me.

i dont like the way this is going :/

Fantastic game. Our forward line potential is simply outstanding now that Fabregas is in the mix. Second half subs?

I would like to see ibi coming in early.

I would take Xavi off at the break and put in Pedro.
