Well, half the match gone and we're faaaar from winning. Time to bring Messi and Xavi in.

 

Re: Jornada 29

While you're waiting for Messi to come in and save the day, check out this interesting article about Manzano and his unorthodox training methods:

Re: Jornada 29

"At half-time against Barcelona once, he had his team lie on the floor in silence, legs in the air against the wall. Then he told them that, no matter what they did, Barcelona would score within five minutes of the restart. Barcelona did score; Manzano’s side scored two more.”

That's a really weird thing for him to say.

I don't expect Messi to just jump in and save the day, but this match seems like one to be decided by the small things. Bring Messi and Xavi in and that might make us just that little better that is needed to win this.

Jeffren who ought to be subbed off for Messi to come in has played well though, but against this kind of opponent we need something special.

Im glad messi is only playing in the 2nd half. I'd hate to see him be out of gas for Arsenal game this coming week. Jeffren's alright, but seems to be outgunned by Mallorcas defenders sometimes.

Manzano sounds like a bit of a loon...

I agree - its going to be the killer pass or shot that might decide this. Jeffren and Pedro have both done well so far, but I think I'd take P! off if I had to choose.

Messi begins warming up.

 

Re: CONFIRMED starting lineup

To see how culés are feeling the heat ahead of el Clasico in a few weeks!

 

Re: CONFIRMED starting lineup

Messi coming on - Iniesta coming off. he was crap to be fair...

 

Re: CONFIRMED starting lineup

Iniesta injured?

 

Re: CONFIRMED starting lineup

Iniesta going to the locker room for some reason.

^ One way or another VV had that shot covered.

I think Valdes slightly got a hand to that ball..
