i am rying to understand this false number 9 thing. (1) is a player like ronaldinho a false 9? (2) but ibra is a true 9? (3) but when our CF swaps with messi and messi plays in the middle, he is a false 9? (4) is that because he doesnt hang around the defensive line of the opposition waiting for the ball like ibra sometimes does? (5) because he is always tracking back to get the ball, start the play and then finish it too. (6) was keita a false 9 against zaragoza?

sorry for all the questions, i numbered them for convenience.

Banjo Crickets! Yes!

Barca 3-0 at least, lineup strength be damned. I can see it being lower (10% chance), but certainly Leonesa will not score, unless Marquez allows them to.

Assulin is a winger not a midfielder!

Baby-fresh. I like that. You’re right about the nature of upsets, but, you know… let’s try to enjoy the good ones with the bad

(Also, didn’t mean to be snappy, I was pressed for time, hehe.)

I don’t think Pellegrini should get the blame or fired, the problem are the players that are not blending and there’s too much ego! wtf!
Guti was sub at 51′ and he was complaining to the coach. It was like dude you are not doing shit and you are being marked by 4 players from time to time.

Yes, Rubin Kazan are reigning Russian champions, but people dismiss Russia and the Ukraine as shit leagues when players from those respective entitites are under discussion.

All I’m saying is I think that karma works in funny ways, and that our guard should be up. Big time. Both big Spanish sides have egg on their faces. Ours is mostly washed away. Taking care of business today and this weekend, then away to Rubin, would leave us baby-fresh.

What makes game so special:
This is the only game of Barca against a Spanish team not being a final Spain’s prime minister and Barca fan Jose Luis Zapatero(in short ZP) is allowed to watch in the stadium, because it’s his hometown. Because Barca being politically difficult, he is not allowed to watch any Barca games in Camp Nou because it would cost him even more popularity in Spain, although I really gotta say that he is one of the better people in European politics, not only because he is culé.

And Gai Assulin is more of a mediopunta and I can’t see him play in central midfield. Fontas also is not a rightback but centerback only, so I expect Benitez to play there, who plays rightback for Barca Atletic. So probably both Yaya and Busi will play.
