Almost a hundred passes for each outfield player is mind boggling.

I have to see this game. Anyone know where I can download it?

And Keita came on for Xavi in the 65th min This team is looking very good.

[Fernandinho]

Barca are ****ing selfish. Let the other guys play too, just because they where different colours doesn't mean that they shouldn't get to play.

10 passes a minute or one pass every sixth second the whole game

To be fair, it wasn't much of a game. The reason they dominated it so much is because Sociadad just stood off them when the had the ball. As usual in La Liga there was no aggression or closing down to tackling which is why Barca just passed them to death. With ease

Well, it would take Babel six seconds just to control the ball.

Sounds like some beautiful goals though. I could watch Barca/Spain pass the ball around all day.

Speaking of Sociedad, how did Griezmann (short little blonde kid on the wing) do? we were linked with him earlier the season and I've seen them play 5 or 6 times this season and he's been fantastic. Before I had seen him properly in la liga I thought he'd be too weak to play for us, but I've seen him win headers against big, strong defenders and doesn't look under pressure on the ball. His release clause is around 7m euros and I'd love us to take advantage.

He missed a shocker last week against Bilbao haha. Had an open goal and volleyed it onto the upright, although overall he had a good outing despite the horror miss.

Without doubt he's going to be a big player in the future.

Jose could have sparks coming out of his arse, walk on water and turn water into wine but he will not stop Barca from winning the title for a very long time.

Well yeah, it's not as if you have to go to work or anything.

A complete non-contest. Scared ****less most teams against Barca, but you'd still fear for any team who tries to open up against them anyway.

Messi....stunning again, best player in the modern game.

Barca are a wonderful antidote on Sunday nights these days, after the ****e on a Saturday.

Harsh on La Liga, quite a fewteams play with a lot of aggression and press the ball strongly. It's a major part of their game plan to win the ball high up the pitch. Valencia and Espanyol are good examples of this. Look at how uncomfortable Man Utd were especially in midfield and at the back where Valencia were hassling and rushing them all the time at the back. It's the reason Carrick gave the ball away and they conceded. If you watch that game they really forced United into giving the ball away at lot more than they'd have liked.

Had a good game. Their best and only attacking threat.
