@Lerkot: maybe Barca’s build up is good, but the “final” pass to the strikers should be given earlier because waiting too long means the opponent has clottered up all the space and there is not much room to move anymore. The endless passing and to-ing and fro-ing seems so unnecessary. I see it happening and think, wow…there’s probably some grand scheme behind all that, but there isn’t. It’s almost as if they allow the other guys to take position. And then, they seem to want to walk the ball in the goal.
Also, it seems that if one of the big guns makes a run (Henry, Messi, Ronaldinho) it is as if the midfielders are obliged to pass the ball to them, even if the run is going nowhere or even if another – lesser name – is in better position… Do you know what I mean?

They can play awesome football, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes they do make the wrong choices in their passing.

A draw in Turkey would be a good result since PSV will meet Inter at home in their last game, and that Inter might by then already be qualified to the next round.
