That lineup is awesome!

The new and improved lineup, taking the Gio ideas into account:

Valdes, Zambrotta, Puyol, Milito, Sylvinho, Toure, Xavi, Guddie, Gio, Bojan, Eto’o

But IceMel’s lineup seriously is perfect.

..hey unless there’s a Barca B player I don’t know, something’s fishy. You just put Sylvinho in the backfield and mid-field…and I have to disagree he should be in backfeild and forward..the famous 3.5/3/2.5.
better yet my line up : Valdes, Toure-Toure-Toure-Toure, Yaya-Yaya-Yaya, Toure-Yaya-Messi…that’s what I’m talkin bout…

I second that. Gio should get the start with Messi coming in for Gio around the 65th minute. Better safe than sorry with Messi.

Nicknames:

Bojan: The prince
Valdes: Casillas Jr. (If only he was as good)
Messi: Of course…The Messiah

You have no idea how delighted I am not to see Henry in the squad. That, coupled with the news that Messi is close to full fitness has made my day!!!

Santi Claus, cuz it will be Christmas the next time we see his ass.

I like the starting 11, except I would swap Dos Santos for Messi. I’d rather see Messi come in at a less-fraught time, say with about 20 minutes left, to put the governor on him. Otherwise you know he’s going to go full guns blazing, as he always does.

BTW, Rijkaard sez the Krkic injury isn’t serious. Jury’s still out on Iniesta and Marquez. Like Ronaldinho, I don’t figure on seeing Deco again this season, or again in Blaugrana.
