Have we ever played Abidal in the middle? he would definitely add a different dimension with his speed. and i’m wondering if maxwell will play to add a more offensive minded defender to the line-up. Hope he doesn’t give up a million corners if he does

Isaiah, I think it would be awesome to run with the bulls, but it was probably a wise decision not to. Although you would probably have entertained youtube viewers around the world, not feeling well and running from giant things with horns don’t mix well. Just think how different this blog would be today if you had decided to run.

I think Henry will be ready to go and bag a goal, and then taken out.

I am not following Pandiani since a while but if he is the same guy I knew, any combination of Pique /Txigrinski/ Marquez will find it complicated to contain him. Hector is right that he is a VNR in the box, but he is a bit more dynamic the way he move and create gaps. I still want to see Abidal in the center with pique, leaving the left flank for Maxwell. Especially if we started Henry. Maxwell can help getting Henry into the box rather than playing out wide. And thats where Henry serve most. Its better to have him with Ibra in the box rather than exchanging positions.

With Maxwell on the flank and Ibra+Henry in the box, we can play Iniesta and Xavi in the midfield without worries while braking the bus. I think Keita will be crucial against Kazan.

Goal.com quote of the day:

“With his long hair flowing beyond his shoulders and his slender frame, Dmytro Chygrynskiy looks more like a lead guitarist for a 1970s rock band as opposed to the most expensive defender in the history of Barcelona”

Two Words: Daniel Alves. Idiots…

If you get GolTV, you might get Telediario. And if you get Telediario, tune in at 1 a.m. US CST the second week of July. You can see live broadcast of the San Fermines from the corrida to the encierro. And don’t forget to read your Hemingway.

RM on ESPND @ 12 before Barça. They’re still obsessing about the ‘Alarconazo’ suffered last week and Pelligrini’s job is on the line. The latest scoop is Guti’s refusal to sit on the banquillo after he was benched last week … during a presser he said it wasn’t because he was mad at Pelly, he and Pelly get along smashing … but then again LAST season he was yanked from the field, got pretty ticked off, but still sat on the bench … hmmm, wonder the TVE sportscasters. Hee hee.

But sportsmanship above all. heehee.

I think Pep is more likely to have a full strength team for midweek against Rubin than tomorrow. I think he will play Busquets, Iniesta and Keita in midfield, and Pedro, Ibra and Messi up front.
