Damn Rodwell had a hattrick last game? Must have missed that.
Oh Maicon been hurt? Kinda like Kagawa when he began his stint at United...
Rafa in
Well in every season you need a little luck and Swansea were a bit lucky today. Newcastle edged the game especially in the second half although their defending was poor throughtout. Swansea meanwhile went to sleep for large parts of the game. Newcastle passed well and moved well but in the end a scrambled goal was all that separated us from them. Not pretty stuff but a wins a win.
7th now, what a fucking great season you're having!
one man team
terrible defense
shit, mechanical hootball play
kagawa is a huge flop
Utd played on another level from how they've played all season tonight. It was very atypical of how they usually play, and the most "United-esque" player out there (Valencia) simply looked like he didn't fit into this style. Rooney, Kagawa and Carrick ran the show, and it was the best performance they've had all season, IMO.
I'm quite sure this is the type of football Ferguson wants the team to play, but for whatever reason it didn't click at the start of the season so he went back to 4-4-2.
Quite scary, really.

Oh please, no Puoyol and Xavi. That's it. Tello? Give me a fucking break, no Coach? When Pepe left Tito had no problems, no Abidal? Wtf lololol
Madrid was playing with Essien at RB, Kaka at MO, Modric at CM, Pepe at DM, Callejon at RW, Morata at CF.....
You really were playing the B team.
looooooool
Where's Arnie ?
Fuck Norwich, anyway. Fuck Grant Holt. The womble that ate all the other wombles.

Tito is not Pep.
Tito being awasy is hurting Barca more than anything. There is no rhyme or reason to anything they are doing. Roura has no control.
Yep; in fact I think today and the QPR game last week have seen our two best performances of the season in terms of maturity, play, the importance of the games, the fact there's been a number of players rotated and all performing... absolutely delighted with how today went.
Like I say, I'm pessimistic and I think we'll probably draw 2-2 and go out on Tuesday, but that will give us a great amount of confidence.
Norwich > Barca

martinez is sooo0O0o0O0oO likeable
would love to see how he fared at a club with more resources

Lol don't be silly. Kagawa was playing as the most forward player once RVP came off. Rodwell is the furthest back midfielder for City. Rodwell put on a good performance last weekend. I think Meier's comment is fair.

Most of the players in the first half barely played this season together. No Puyol but I'll say that Mascherano is in better form right now, I'll give you Xavi though, but is still the best team of the world aginst the real madrid bench.
It was a very pathetic show from Barça, Madrid didn't have nothing in stake, Barça were the ones that needed to show some pride and that they'll be able to recover. And they played horrible.

Did he do his 'barge a defender over one minute, crumple like a sack of shite from nothing a minute later' trick?
This match has Lolerpool written all over it
@confuziz, how do you explain Barca's recent form if managers don't matter?

Lol they didn't try, and weren't bothered enough to try ahahaha
They tried, but they are out of ideas these days. They need a new approach, they have become predictable.
Yep it's been a bit special. Ten years ago swansea were a running joke in the city. Everyone took the piss out of them. Now look at us. I think the swansea story gives hope to a lot of small teams that if you start to get finances and personnel sorted out then you can acheive some great things.
bye bitch
Ugh this is disgusting.
Valdes got sent off? looooooool
Barca's recent transfers have been dogshit. If they had bought a proper defender and keeper they wouldn't be in this mess. It still blows my mind that we bought Vertonghen and Lloris for less than £30m total yet nobody else seemed to be interested.

Don't be silly, Slizz. You're better than that. Rodwell had a MOTM performance after a shit season like Kagawa did today, that's all.
Maicon cost 3m and was a nothing signing. He's just been there as depth and has played well in his limited time (he was key in the game we beat Spurs actually). His signing is not in any way comparable to Kagawa's in any level (expectation, cost, anticipation, etc.).

They blew most of the budget on Cesc to bring him 'home'.
And on Sanchez, because why not?
That's big. Fuck United, but I'm very happy for Shinji. He's such a classy player, it drove me crazy to hear United fans constantly berate him over the past few months.
I still don't understand the Song purchase. Anyone could have told Barcelona that was a bad deal.
Lol I know, but saying Kagawa is a massive flop is like saying City is a massive club.
Crazy how the random Maicon signing helped so much with all the injury troubles at the back City have had.
5 goals in 12 games, I think. For a playmaker who has been hit by injuries.
Only Jamie Redknapp-tier goobers call that a flop.
They say... he is a legend
You better hope Suarez pulls off some magic tonight, bruh. You're down for the count, atm.

It's not Roura man.
These guys know what they are doing, nothing has changed, their game is the same. It's not like Roura broke the system, the system is the same.
Teams are just getting used to this Barcelona, it's normal. Spain won 3 national titles in a row playing exactly like Barcelona. They didn't have Pep, or Tito, or even Messi.
They disrupted everything with this "new" style, but it's no longer new. It will become less and less effective with time.
UGHHH gonna watch Carrick and Kagasm
Yeah, they've sorted it out massively at board level. Delighted for you.
