Barcelona vs. Real Madrid, 1-3

[flywoman]

So I didn't get to watch the match, but I just saw the highlights. The reviews I'd read suggested that we were absolutely awful, created no chances, etc. In fact, it seems to me that we were unlucky in attack - Messi was close to a goal early on and almost sent a free kick into the bottom corner, and there was a rebound that could have been converted by Busi, to name a few. While I wish that Villa had started and Iniesta had played left mid with Cesc on the bench, I think that the real problem, as has been so typical lately, was our defense. Pique's clumsy tackle meant a PK for Ronaldo, and no one was marking Di Maria right in front of our goal when he received the pass and scored. But if you watched the match, please feel free to correct me!

Exactly, I start to get angry about stuff and then just can't.

They need to start Tello and Villa then, it's just obvious.
Am sure he'll still play at the weekend though, is so keen and quite tough really.

Yeah exactly, otherwise we'd follow Real Madrid, right. ;)
Pretty sure Alexis has had enough chances so should be rested, if only to try it as a kick up the arse; and yes saw that coming a long time ago.
It's the perfect time to play young defenders, so they can get the most of Puyi's umm special brand of nurturing, then it will be a seamless transition.
Leo's good but he's only one person, so you do need the backup. Argentina are on the up for sure.

We should coach Barca then, at least until I get fired for sexual harrasement.

Yes he does which is a bastard, I can forgive a lot more in Real player if they're prettier. Not only does Iker's front look good; when we do score there's the camera behind the goal to showcase his arse (totally up there with Pipita and Joe Hart on that one).

lol pretty much, and with the arm-waving bug-eyed ranting like an old lady at the ref before that.

Just posted it on my journal, enjoy. :)

That's right... at least once Mou left. That's a dealbreaker for me.

I like Alexis, but if he can't step up, he shouldn't play. Yes, more of Puyi's bossing, I mean nurturing, would be good for them.

Yeah, Iker's easy on the eyes from pretty much any angle.

Hee, Xavi ranting (up) at the ref is the best.

lol, ask and ye shall receive.

For me too, can't stand Mou.

Exactly, he's capable overall just has some mental block. So somebody else should have a chance.
Puyi is probably a complete sweetie irl, but you wouldn't quite know it.

I know, have needed to do extensive research for writing purposes; was terrible hardship.

Totally, he makes such an art form of it. Sometimes have to wonder if he has a case of 'short man syndrome'.

Of course, plenty more where that came from.
