Barcelona

hahahaha lol

That's what happens when you get transferred from Arsenal lol

Song: FINALLY! After all these years I've waited I finally get to...after you Abi...

That's kind of embarrassing. Don't even think it is funny. I feel bad for him.

Maybe that explanes some players's performances lately! cough Piqué cough cough...

He's tall enough to be one of our defenders or the goalkeeper though ;)

Thiago is so cute. The best part of this is seeing all of the kids and the players goofing around.

Really happy to see Abidal in a great mood. Glad we had something to celebrate this season :)

He is very cute .

It's not surprising considering it is Pedro. I hope Barca sells him this summer.

and I hope you get your mind back

Why on Earth would you want to sell the ambidextrous Pedro? He works like a dog to pressure, and create space. He can assist and has the ability to beat his man most of the time. Pedro is perfect for his position. Plus he has a great shot with both feet, which is hard to find.

Thought only Alexis has haters? Lol, dont forget pedro's goals in CL finals,el clasicos and so many big games. If he gets his form back, he will be very very useful.

Yup, he's our biggest talent next to Thiago. Awesome right-back. Very reliable in defence, very useful in attack.

Haha, and of course then he makes his first bad mistake of the season.

Lol, oh well, I put more blame on Jonathan for that for trying to show off

Well to be fair he did get the ball

Who do you suggest he starts over?

Knowing Yousif, he probably wants him to replace Pique

This may sound crazy at first but just think about it. I suggest he starts over Xavi in the easier games. Xavi is getting older and more injury prone. I think it's time we use Xavi more wisely than throwing him into games and risk him getting hurt. This way when we have big games coming up we know Xavi is fit. Having a system like this is better for the team.

Im not sure people realize but Thiago is the closest thing we have to Xavi. He fits the position better than Fabregas does. He has the second best passing accuracy on the team, he is versatile with his passes and can make any pass Xavi can make with deadly accuracy. He dribbles and has the flair of a Brazilian, He plays with Barcelona DNA, and he Defends like an Italian. His creativity in midfield is unmatched, which leaves him very unpredictable like he has proven over and over again.

He has this all at such a young age, with the fitness to attack and defend all game. Xavi is too old to be chasing people down in full sprints for 90 minutes, do you not agree? The more a player can put in the easier it makes it on the rest of the players.

They need rest? Why? For what game should they be rested?

edit: Messi should be rested (and he is), because he's injured and we shouldn't take a chance to aggravate it. But the rest are all fit IMO.

Maybe because the league is won and they started all season?

Exactly, the season is over. They have plenty of time to rest now. Besides, Xavi and Iniesta were rested all the time during the season, especially Xavi. Just check how few minutes he played even though he was never injured this season.

edit: just looked it up. Both Iniesta and Xavi used to play about 4500-5000 minutes a year before, this year both have 'only' played 3500. And only Iniesta suffered an injury, and that was way in the beginning of the season.

Jeroen don't you think that's still a lot? If we won the trophy why not give the youngsters experience as they are our future. The beginning of the season is very important and Tito will be less likely to start them at all in the beginning of the season for fear they might mess up. If we give them experience in games like this maybe one or two can prove to Tito that he shouldn't fear giving them a start, and that they can handle their own if he chooses them.

Busquets, Pedro, Bojan, Jeffren, and many more were given chances to play. Busquets and Pedro are now starters for the team from a young age because Pep gave them a chance to prove themselves and they did! Hell Busquets replaced Yaya Toure, who's arguably in the top 3 midfielders in the EPL. Even those that couldn't convince our coach were swept away as soon as the summer came because the whole world realized the amount of talent we are producing at the moment.

That led us to all our success so why stop what's producing success?

Hahaha!

Shakira is in America doing some reality show :P
