^no its not, even compared to Celtic. Barca team is just mentally weak, they need a proper CM I feel, a Vieira/Gattuso type. But their problem (?) is that in la liga they can get away without one. Its the issue for Spanish clubs. Do you play ugly, but effective football (Madrid/Valencia) & grind out wins in the league but put in good CL showings or play free-flowing stuff in league, but struggle in CL, like Barca? I know Barca triumphed in CL 2 years ago with largely the same team, but it seemed like their every flick & trick came off that season, plus us, Bayern, Real & Milan put in BS seasons in Europe. They have failed to reach those highs again & still struggle, even v Rangers.

But Aberdeen are shite and everyone says we're shite.

I'm commenting on the fact that the team that is the best to watch on the planet (according to the press), weren't trying to score in the last few minutes against a pretty average Rangers team.


Also, Henry has lost half a yard of pace and Ronal-I play with a smile on my face-dinho was moping around and looking fairly disinterested.
Obviously didn't get the Celtic/Catholic joke.

Toure would usually add a bit more steel to their midfield but he was injured.

It is the same for most teams, it is very difficult to find a style of play that will work both domestically and in Europe.

I did, I just didn't feel the need to comment on it.

I could laugh now for you if it will make you feel better?

with 10 men defending for rangers and 75% position, it was very hard to score and Barca should have had at least one penalty but at the end the draw is good for barca since barca will play 2 of the next 3 games at home.

fantastic display for Arsenal , they play wonderful attacking football just like barca

I really didn't get why Henry was playing on the left and Ronaldinho in the centre, Henry isn't as fast as he used to be anymore and clearly played out of position yesterday.
The Barca I saw yesterday won't win the CL, and that had nothing to do with how Rangers played, Barca should be able to win matches like these, else they can forget winning the cl.
And Ronaldinho is just awfull at the moment.

barca now is missing a lot of first team players especially in the midfield . so this is not the best form of bara , gudionsen played in midfield cause barca dont have any midfielders cause of injury , also puyol played instead of zambrotta on the RB .and yes like you said henry should not play on the left cause he is not fast like he was before

I think that Barca, with the players they had yesterday should be able to beat Rangers, I agree Gudjonsson shouldn't have played as a midfielder, maybe Rijkaard should have gone for a 4-4-2 with Messi as RM and Ronaldinho as ML and INiesta, Xavi as the two MC's, Henry and Gudjonsson as strikers, I think that would have been better then what he did yesterday, playing 2-3 players completely out of position.
IMO, your coach is your biggest weakness, togheter with a completely out of form Ronaldinho.

Whoh, bro, we are talking about the Diho, not Ronaldo...grow up.
I see a lot of similarities. Fat, fucked up teeth, used to be really fast, now slow as hell, all he needs next is a move to Milan.
