Does anyone else think signing Ibrahimovic may make Barca less effective, despite him probably being a better player than Eto'o?

I think, without Eto'o, Barca have no-one looking to run in behind the defence on a regular basis, so teams can hold a slightly higher line and press Barca harder in midfield.

Things may appear different once Ibra and Barca are fully accustomed to each other, though.

What a goal by Valencia.

Nice goal by Pablo H.

Valencia 0-2 up.

Guy's been on fire over the last couple of weeks / months. Very impressive.

Yeah, I think goals aside Ibra has looked a bit lost in this new role where he sees less of the ball than what he's used to. I think it'll come better though, and scoring goals in the beginning has given him the time necessary to gel with the team.
