JNR i couldn't be bothered to get taken to task about saying that. I agree.

Also Xavi could play into his late 30s considering how little physical aspect his game involves. By then they'll have a new Xavi anyway.

I would say Iniesta is Barca's most important player

Why do you need to go to a gym to get a six pack? Just visit a liquor store.

Or if you want abs, eat right, have a run, do some sit ups.

JNR that is often said but players like xavi do not come along every day. They will have quality players come through but I highly doubt they'll bring someone through of his quality that easily

Is the other match more exciting than this Barca snooze-fear?

Randomer Someone who agrees

Rtm that's my point. I don't see the need to go to the gym other than it being a hobby.

Andy they may not produce someone as good, but players like Thiago, Roberto, Fabregas will lessen the need somewhat for a Xavi.

Does anyone else think the Ronaldinho/Deco Barca played much more exciting football?

Maybe JNR it'll be interesting to see when he eventually does retire. Don't think pep will be there then. RtM what do you do at the gym? Are you a meat head? I just go and prance about on a treadmill. I am a good runner!

It was faster JNR and Ronaldinho's showboating was good. I liked that side

It was faster and their pattern of passing was better IMO. More one two passing and killer through balls.

Sanchez. Not a bad little ball messi.

Great pass and finish

Sanchez scores again Obers

Obers you won't like this

I'm trying to tone up Bandy. I could care less about building mass. That's too easy for me. Tone and endurance

You're not meant to be here

Who do you think Barca will get in the quarter finals?

Rtm isn't toning up and getting a six pack the same sorta thing?

I am toning up also.

Also I'd have Fabregas over Xavi, though that's not to say I don't think Xavi is a special player

Gabriel Obertan is our final piece to this disjointed midfield jigsaw, and the Frenchman's 1 goal and 2 assists have hardly lit St. James' Park alight. Considered enough of a prospect for United to take a chance on the supposed creative winger, Obertan has completed just 1 dribble per game this season and has reached his target with just 9 of 50 crosses in 21 appearances (18%). Our midfield 5 have therefore scored just twice and picked up 3 assists between them over a combined total of 103 appearances.

Someone give this guy the death penalty

lol i left just before the goal

tbh up until then i have to say barca didn't impress me that much

they created next to nothing despite all that possession

and whenever the ball was in the final third leverkusen would close down a loose ball

plus their build up play wasn't that fast. ours is still snail pace but there's was fairly slow IMO

oh and messi was poor. barely received the ball tbf

Being able to dictate the pace of any game is special. Xavi does it every game he plays

and it seemed they were missing Xavi's ability to do that andy from what i saw
