Barcelona

What a great club side they are. Just watching them tonight and they are in a different class to any other club team I have watched. Messi at times is absolutely unplayable but there is no weaknesses anywhere in the team. They might be Spanish but they are a joy to watch.

Saw the first goal, Messi, one on one, sort of scooped it over the keeper.

All teams should be able to play that way.

I'm stunned more don't.

We play that way in Coyle's head.

I'm not being funny, all "professional" footballers should be able to pass and move.

thats all it is.

It looks a lot simpler than it is because of the players that Barcelona have.

Was watching it in the pub and a guy said that Barcelona probably don't need a new manager if Guardiola leaves, just put them eleven players on the pitch and tell them to play football.

I know Barca are a level above, I mean the simple things, pass and move.

I don't mean the speed of the play, the IQ, the fluidity, the runs, the space they create.

I just mean pass... and move.

We can't do it!

That was a simply faultless performance from the best team in the world at the moment, who ever argues Messi isn't the best player to ever play the game needs their head testing IMO.

As for why can't more teams play like them Hipster, I totally agree it can't be that hard to teach to a top draw footballer who claims to play in the best league in the world.

Swansea are an example it can be done for the smaller clubs in the league with the right coaching, just a shame OC can't seem to put his method into practice with Bolton.
