Spain v France match thread

[Kenneth]

nope, he tried to sell a player who had been underperforming. In doing so he provoked a positive reaction in that Xabi upped his game, had a storming season and more than doubled his value

the ****test xabi has ever been is still better than Barry or Aquilani have ever been.

[Catrin]

Xabi leaving was the start of our downfall

But before Rafa pissed him off he'd gone off the boil. He'd had two fairly modest seasons at that point. People just remember the Xabi we had in that last season. Is it fair to ask where had that Xabi been for two years?

Spain are class but not having a proper striker on the pitch is a mistake IMO.

Their attacks don't really have a focal point, which is fine most of the time when you have that amount of class on the pitch - I just think they'd have more cutting edge with Llorente.

It'll be Torres though if they bring a striker on.

I have to defer to your greater insight as I never saw Barry play for us.

Clive Tyldsley has just parped about Barcelona having a free header.

ITV are ****e.

[Kenneth]

Soft booking that.

Cabaye is a vile little cunt

You don't try and sell a player on the back of an injury hit season. Xabi shouldn't have been sold. But then, you are a big Rafa fan.

Anyway, France / Spain..

Anyone found a decent stream? Computer won't play the ITV website but will play some on the wiziwig ones.

Only ones I found are really jittery or stop altogether.

I remember one year Rafa had a bet with Xabi that if he scored a header he would buy him a case of wine.

Those were the days.

Please tell me this is not the type of game Rodgers will have us playing?

Bore fest - goal or not...

[Rich]

Doubt it - think we'll always have a striker on the pitch!
