J11 La Liga 12/13 | RCD Mallorca v FC Barcelona | 11 Nov 2012 [R]

Nice thread mate! I would have made it myself a couple days ago if it wasn't for all the site issues that I've been having. Hopefully I can make them again soon, but hopefully VeB returns to doing them as he is best.

My projected lineup

Valdes​

Alves Pique Mascherano Alba​

Xavi Busquets Cesc​

Pedro Messi Villa​

​

Cesc over Iniesta who hasn't been in great form lately and the PMV trio is the trusted attack for a difficult league match. Mallorca have lost 5 in a row and are missing Gio dos Santos so hopefully we can go at them and get the three points here. ​

 

hopefully we'll get a good look at fontas finally.
this is a strange kick-off time isn't it?

edit:
Mallorca lineup (official): Aouate - Ximo Geromel Conceiao Bigas - Nsue Pina Marti Pereira - Victor Hemed #fcblive

 

Agreed with your line-up, though I think Iniesta has been just fine lately.

 

Official Lineup:

Valdes​

Alves Pique Mascherano Alba​

Xavi Busquets Cesc​

Tello Messi Villa​

​

Bench: Pinto, Bartra, Montoya, Song, Iniesta, Pedro, Alexis​

 

Good line-up imo.

 

so good to see pique back

 

Morning!

Oh this is the thread? What the heck is it almost 20 minutes?

 

scrappy match so far...

 

Because the match started at the time it was announced to start?

(it is a weird time, but it is what it is...)

 

Tradition dictates this images must be posted:

 

Oh I thought it was a noon start....my bad. Anyway we just saw a chance (the 1st of 2) where Cesc could have whacked the ball but tried to lob the ball in. We gotta start taking those shots.

 

Mallorca with zero creativity and zero attack. Goes on like this, we're bound to win. That said, the sooner we score the better. IMO we're playing ok, but wouldn't mind little more urgency.

 

What's Bojan up to? Is he getting any time at Roma anymore? We're going to have buy him back for 1 million aren't we?

 

XAVIII

 

X6

 

Just what this match needed

 

Whooooo...Xavi, that was unstoppable.

 

Xaviiiiii!!!
