This is Villarreal's starting 11 against Real last night (and won 1-0), look who's in there defence:-
Josemi - yes the very same one who made as much impact at Anfield as Diao
Cygan - that bold headed muppet from Arsenal

I'm sorry but if you can't score against a team with those in the defence then there's something very wrong.

agreed in the main,but barcas defense isnt all that.puyol and marquez,van bronchorst,will have it tough,they wont fancy facing crouch.

Josemi wasn't that bad in all fairness - just a bit clumsy and not as good as Finnan.

I don't think Rafa got rid of him because of his performances but he had not settled on Merseyside.

As far as managerial first buys he has not been Liverpool's worst.

It doesn't matter who we play. If you want to go to Ancient Greece in may you will have to beat the best Europe has to offer sooner or later! Bring on Barca I would rather win or loose to a giant of the game than the Circus that is Real.

Spot on. I was watching Barca this morning of a repeated game. And I can tell you, they look very ropey at the back. The dangermen that we have to look out for are...
Carlos Puyol - the only man thats decent enough in defence for them at this current time.
Ronaldinho - he hasn't particulary impressed me this season. But he has scored 13 goals already so he's sort of the unexpected.
Samuel Eto - looks like he is coming back for the game... always dangerous. Gets behind the defence with his lightening pace and touch.
Saviola - this lad is in form - his contract runs out in the Summer. One we should definatly look at

Out of 11 men thats all that will scare me in Feb.
Your thoughts?
I'm comfortably relaxed. I think we have to take it to them from the word, go. We have to keep tight, otherwise

Sam eto, good player but coming bk from injury will he be a sharp? will Messi be back for our game or not?

Barcelona aren't playing that well recently. Maybe because Messi and Eto'o are sidelined, but I think we still have a chance agaisnt them. Even if Messi and Eto'o play.

I agree with Crazy Horse you have 2 beat the best 2 be the best

Thats what I've been saying for a long time now. If we beat them - we are worthy.
