Torn apart by Messi and Barca. Hopefully this may knock their confidence for this coming Thursday! http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/football/liga/2011-2012/fc-barcelona-valencia-cf-459021.html
One problem Waddo albeit only a teeny weeny problem that isn't really worth considering....Delap will not be playing.
Nicky?? I think Delap is OK to play in the Europa League but not League games but I MIGHT be wrong there..
You're not wrong Potts, he can play in Europa. And unfortunately I think he might. As I said in a previous post, Delap was probably the right choice to play at Crawley, leaving Palacios out, so one of Whelan or Whitehead could play with him Thursday, and Rory would be back in for Swansea. At a guess I'd say that was pretty similar to TP's plan too. But now, we've got put someone else in for Swansea, which could be at the cost of a player from Thursdays squad. Don't know why I'm so worried about selections now though, I highly doubt we'll get anything at the Mestella, so Swansea should be priority, but you can't write these things off! I'd put Tommy in goal, just in case we go to penalties though.
Poor as in comparison to Barca & Real or juts plain old poor? I agree with you that they were no great shakes at the Britt and on another day we would have got a result, thats what makes it more annoying really!
I watched about 70 mins of that that Barcca game v Valencia... Valencia's defense is crap.. like I said last week.. IF ONLY we had a real go at them but I fear it's now too late for that... Messi was his usual brilliant self but I doubt they would have beaten us by four goals though. Thought I was right about Delap... oh well... BOL LUX to it.. Delap, play hin on Thursday with Diao and Woodgate as a midfield three.. that should confuse Valencia.. I don't have a Plan B mind.
We stood of them all first half apart from first 5 !! and got punished .. Woudnt it be nice now to see us go with 2 wingers and diff front 2 and really have a go at em . bollox to it get at em .. put them on the back foot ! What have we got to lose F all !!! Come on TP throw us a bone YEH LOL UTP
