******* OFFICAL La Liga Thread *******

Hahaha that was ridiculous! Barca had possession for 4 or so minutes then. You'd think against Real they would be having to play 2 touch all game, but they have so much time on the ball it's stupid!

Poor first touch from Messi, he should be finishing them.
 
Barca so so patient, knocking the ball around for 5mins till a single killer ball is seen. It's just something else.
 
I think Barca would be happy with a draw here to be honest. Real are just sitting back and waiting for that killer ball to hopefully go wrong and then break, Real haven't been able to pass it around or keep possession at all.
 
Busquets is the biggest diver ever lol. Every barca game I've watched he goes down at some point with no contact.

'cause it deserved a yellow card, not because Messi asked for one.

Seems to be Real's tactic, Stop Barca playing and counter attack.

Expect much more time wasting and niggling tackles.

Also, how was that not a penalty? Such an incredibly bad decision.
 
Can't stand Busquets, dives like a mofo, went down again as Marcelo was it started to go up for a overhead kick but realised Busquets(well realised someone was there) and pulled out, no contact and he threw himself to the ground like he'd been kicked, then got up when he realised Alves was "hurt", replay wasn't clear but looked like he dived aswell.

Him, Alves and in some games(less so in the Barca games I've seen lately) Iniesta are such diving cheats.

Also what the hell was the commentator on about, he liked seeing Marcelo get a card because he's always waving a fake card around, but its fine for Messi to get him the card waving the fake card?

THe whole waving card thing doesn't bother me in the slightest, its completely fine for any player to walk up to a ref and mention the 3 fouls someone did to him, or ASK him if he isn't on a yellow yet, but to wave a card, which sums that all up in a split second without the need to slow the game down, is horrific and unsportsman like, rubbish.

Real are playing the wrong game, again, it might work out but it shouldn't, Pepe though, has shown why Alonso and Khedira(both having better than usual games) aren't good defensively. Pepe has utterly utterly dominated in that area, ALonso is mostly kicking people late and blasting the ball crossfield 40 yards to no one, Khedira has looked far better than usual but still those two just do not show strength, tackling, drive, nor win headers, intercept the ball like Pepe does. Also Pepe has won loads of tackles, got the ball and driven the team forward, the other two get the ball and slow the game down, then lose posession.

If Mourinho has any balls he'll take Khedira and ALonso off, leave Pepe in there, throw on another striker and put a creative central midfielder in.
 
Is this why man utd fans want Jose? With the players he has and at home is pretty pathetic. They have nothing to loose in this match why not go for it a win.
 
Yup, love how waving an invisible card is terrible, but asking and shouting at ref's to book players is okay :p

Real are too scared of losing to attack. Shame. Negative football.

I also, find it funny how people pick up on Busquets for diving and other Barca players for diving when Real are just as bad, if not worse :p Ronaldo anyone? Di Maria? haha
 
Jose knows can't match them attacking never been able to did the same tactic at Inter, also he suffered his biggest ever club defeat last time won't be wanting that again.
