Football

I was being sarcastic, passing it round the box is all they did.

They need a CF like Villa, Messi can play anywhere, but he's best playing off a finnisher like villa. At the moment he picks it up high up the pitch and has nowhere to go. They don;t play their underdeveloped forwards like Tello and Sanchez like centre forwards.

This has been Guardiola's undoing. He's allowed the whole club to be Messi centric. Look how many have left or come close to leaving because of it. They were at their best when playing 4-3-3. They really need a break and to reassess their modus operandi. Though this summer looks like it will offer little respite for them.

Now Maureen has finally overcome them will he really leave now for a cold wet Wednesday night in Stoke? Hopefully he was right about one thing, he didn't think Madrid would be seeing Chelsea in the final.
