Shane Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 On the League, Barca v ManU will be the ideal game for the neutrals, any other match ups will be boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemist Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I want Real vs Schakle. Raul vs his former Team will be the story line to sell. On a practical note, I think its going to be Manu vs Real Madrid. I cannot wait for 4 more El Classicos this season !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulGame Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 would be a great story Schakle went on to win the whole tournament . Atleast they will threaten the united defence more than Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 ^ Continue with your Anti BPL Stands. I dont think Shalke would be any Pushovers and may well go through if we play poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Point is You Should acc. To your Logic, Thats exactly My point. If you support against United , either you are not consistent with your Logic Of 'Supporting the underdogs' Or you are Biased against United. The point is You must be consistent with your Logic, Though You are open to support anyone. :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schakle are underdogs because they are the unfancied team . If u think UNITED are underdogs against Barca or Real then u are really deluded . When Bangladesh play India they are underdogs .

Sooda Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Real bt Barca in Copa Del Rey, interesting build up to their CL matches...! Real were superby drilled, worked their socks off and scored a fine goal. Very much a Mourinho team. They also fouled and ensured Barca never really got into their flow, should have been a few more yellow cards. The thing that Real have that Barca do not is squad depth. The likes of Higuain, Kaka, Diarra and Gago (who barely even features) are often on the bench- that is some luxury to have. Compare that to the Barca bench and whilst there are some potentially very good youngsters in Thiago and Bojan, theyre not in the same class- yet. If Messi and/or Xavi are out injured or just off form due to tiredness then it will be interesting to see how they function. The first teams seem fairly balanced of both right now, but it is that squad depth that may well prove crucial as the games come thick and fast...

I dont think CDR win has anything to do with squad depth . Its more to do with tactics IMO . Mourinho had his tactis spot on with 3 DM whereas Guardiola didnt had a plan B which one always suspect . Squad depth comes to the fore more in League which Barca are winning comfortably . Barca may not have as many flashy players as Real but their squad players like Keita Bojan Thiago Affeley Mascherano Adriano adapt more seemlessly than Real Madrid players. As for Barca not being able to replace Xavi / Messi i dont think Real can replace Ronaldo / Alonso . These are too great a players to have able substitutes IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1985 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Barca lack a plan B (as Beautiful Game said) and against a brilliant tactician like Mourinho this could be their downfall. Barca have tailed off in the last 2 months and are not quite as brilliant as they were earlier in the season. I would like Barca to go through but it fear it will be a Real/Man Utd final. Barca need a big striker to bring off the bench cos when you force them out wide they will never cross the ball into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Well Man United needs to beat Shalke to get through. Shalke , with Raul in form, Neuer at the goal wont be any push overs. If we can manage a draw from Germany we should get through. But the game would be equally competitive as some other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are too great a players to have able substitutes IMO Yeah, did not mean this match specifically..hence I said 'as the games come' .. could prove the difference over two legs in the CL for instance, the kind of players you can bring off the bench and how tired your key men are in the latter stages of a match...you're right about JM getting his tactics spot on-namely getting his midfielders to run their socks off and hack Barca down. Barca were not without their chances, albeit not exactly clear cut and were better team for a lot of the 2nd half...overall RM deserved to win ... Barca had to play Mascherano in defence yesterday, if not him than it would have been Busq, both naturally central mids, goes to show a real lack of depth. Aside from a lack of plan B, Pep is not very good in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from a lack of plan B, Pep is not very good in the transfer market. Injuries have affected them terribly in defence to be honest . They lost Abidal in a unfortunate way and Puyol and Milito are struggling with Injuries . 100% agree .I still cant understand how he decided to buy Ibra for 50 mil + Eto . Has to be the stupidest transfer in the history of football . As for CL i still think Barca will go through particularly Villa can break his goal drought .Also with Carvalho missing out in 1st leg and possibly Puyol fit it will be even more harder for Mourinho to get a result .

Alchemist Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I think, just like Cricket WorldCUp, the other semi final won't matter. The winner between Real and Barca will take it all. This is not to say the Man U or Schakle are bad. But the momentum and confidence any team coming out of Real/Barca tie would be tremendous. Now be ready for Real or Barca fans to start crying about "fixing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
