I wonder how much Joel Campbell will feature today...

 

[flyeed]

Villarreal are going to miss Gabriel, especially now with that Barca front 3 clicking.

Barca needs to be careful of the Yellow Sups attackers who are playing well; Gio & his brother, Vietto, & Cheryshev. They really took it to Barca last go around.

Plus they still have CB Mateo Musacchio anchoring the defense with Bruno doing a great job as the defensive mid... I just took a look at their roster... Yellow subs have some solid defenders; CB Víctor Ruiz, RB Mario Gaspar, LB Jaume Costa, RB Antonio Rukavina...

Edit - The Yellow Subs defend as a team very well with Bruno acting as cover for the back 4 & are very quick on the counter which is an Achilles heel for Barca.

It took a phenomenal effort from Barca not to loose at home this team.

I think I read some stat that said Kane had more goals in 2015 than the entire Liverpool team.

Looks like Dani Osvaldo is back in Argentina to join his beloved Boca Jrs.

His quote in English as he met with reporters.

If everything goes the right way, I’m fulfilling my life’s dream. I know Boca well and I am enthusiastic. I’m here to lend a hand, with humility.

I’ve been training alone for 20 days, I’m hoping everything goes well.

For someone like me, who used to follow Boca as a supporter, this is a dream. But I’ll wait for my medicals and the signing of the contract before saying anything else.

Rumors that Barca will cut Denis Suarez 2 year lone to Sevilla short at the end of this campaign & bring him back to Camp Nou.

It's being said Barca will either pay a sizeable fee to bring him back or offer other youngsters in place of Suarez like Sergi Samper, Adama Traore, Sergi Roberto, & Munir.

Barca has a long history in doing business with Sevilla as they have gotten the likes of Ivan Rakitic, Dani Alves, Seydou Keita, & Adriano from the club.

Another rumor is Madrid want Morata’ back from Juve. They sold him to the Old Lady for €22 mill but have a buy back clause for €30 mill.

Hmmm.

De Gea, McNair, Jones, Evans, Rojo, Blind, Di Maria, Januzaj, Rooney, van Persie, Falcao

Valdes, Smalling, Valencia, Fellaini, Herrera, Mata, Wilson

Cuadrado's first start.
Cesc back on the bench to start. Hopefully he can stay there and rest for PSG next week.

Curious to see if Villarreal employs the same tactics as they did 10 days ago.

That first half they established a line of confrontation 20 yards inside their own half. Personally I thought it made for a boring first 45 but they also led for most of it and went into the locker room tied 1-1.

Second half was slightly more open and much more entertaining but they lost the period 2-1.

We'll see what happens tonight.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

You back home Ice?

 

[Beans]

For the love of God drop RVP or falcao, move Rooney up and ander> adnan

Cuadrado's first start.
Cesc back on the bench to start. Hopefully he can stay there and rest for PSG next week.

Very excited to see what Cuadrado does today

I'm starting to question Oscar.

 

[rck3sactown]

Petr Cech byke!

 

[rolaholic]

Ander seems to have taken up Shinjis permanent spot on the bench

 

[AZwildcats]

I'm starting to question Oscar.

Me too, and they left him out of the lineup entirely. Hazard in the #10 spot, Cuadrado on the left with William on the right. Remy up top and Ramirez in Cescs spot. I like this lineup

My dude Cech back

 

[rck3sactown]

I want to see Lukaku flourish against his former side 

 

[jking0821]

Cant watch but just checked in on the Barca game stats....78% for barca lord

If Oscar wasn't so scrawny I would think he'd be at his best playing as a deep midfielder. He's unorthodox as an attacking midfielder, you don't usually see swiss army knife type of guys play that far up.

These Burnley away kits...
