Fc Barcelona injury worries And Peps Dilemma.

The injury worries currently rocking fc barcelona is an opportuinity for them to show that, good football doesnt need to be played only when players are fit or when they are at their individual peak.

In football, injuries occur and when they do you just have to deal with the fact that one or more of your best players (even back-ups are best players. That is at being back-ups). And when this happens, your teams shape might be lost. This situation is so damning that a whole teams season could be over due to the loss of key players to injury.

But for fc barcelona it is the time to prove that even without key personels such as Eric abidal, Carles puyol, Adriano, maxwell, and milito (all defenders), they can still produce sleek football and play comfortably well against big teams in the image of blanco's mourinho madrid. Barcelona are struggling defensively and also the attack isnt at the form of their life. Though a certain 23 year old has netted 50 this season. They have struggled to create scoring chances against madrid and a lacklustre display against osasuna at week end doesnt suggest they are not getting any better. Barcelona are a shadow of their october-november self.

And they really need to dust themselves from their copa loss.
It would be really fascinating to see how guardiola turn barca's frustration into good possession and a total dominant game with so much work to do defensively. I'm sensing some improvision from the barca tatician.
I believe in barca i belive in pep guardioka.

Pep cost us win!

What was he trying to prove? i kept asking my self after the final whistle.
We had madrid where we wanted them, they were playing long-balls just like we had predicted. Then along comes maxwell for adraino who has been playing well all night keeping ronaldo at bay for a larger part of the match.
I have seen this before versus arsenal the moment maxwell stepped unto the pitch arsenal realized that they are a big team and started pressing for an equalizer and they got a win. All i am saying is that Pep Guardiola should not try to justify his transfers in big games because its really affecting the team and we are beginning to lose face defensively. Please you need to stop using maxwell, he is old and he is not the current world best player so why bring him on when we have better signings.
Another point worth noting from that game is that we actually lack cutting edge. We only managed to take a handful of shots (two from messi, one from villa, one from affelay and one from xavi) in a game we could easily have won 3-0 owing to the fact they were a man down from the crucial stages of the game. We needed someone like thiago alcantara who can retain possession, and shoot when given the chance.
Thirdly, you'll be dissapointed at the amount of fouls we drew from madrid, that we were actually drawing the fouls that were coming, i know that jose mourinho wanted to stop how play and come to think of it who wouldnt? Ask wenger what he told wilshere during barca vs arsenal at the camp nou. Barca players cannot just keep drawing fouls to themselvesbecause you don't win games by foul against or foul for.
And lastly, this fake/false nine thing isnt working now we need a real nine a box to box nine would just be ideal.
