The last thing I want to do is come across as rude, but could I suggest the next time you jump into a cultural joke you understand the joke beforehand.2brown347 wrote:This may sound crazy, but have you thought of turning them into a pizza?ScottyBoy wrote:No room, too much pizza in there at the moment.ratherton wrote: Deep fried, I assume ?
People who say something cannot be done are often surprised by others doing it.

lol all i am gonna say here is that proper proportions of salt is key.
On an different note, I say Yaya Toure is underrated. He is definitely a phenomenal player with physical presence, deft technique and an intelligent versatility that allows an attacking midfielder to play as a CDM and CB as well. Although his defending is great, his attacking is superb. Apart from his passes, his dribbling and goal scoring ability is amazing. Imagine a giant messi? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc0ObtFNbwY This can help
It is sad that many think he is underrated, even Pep, who has been preferring Busquets over Toure throughout the season. I am personally getting tired of Busquet's antics on the field. He is good enough to be a back up for Toure not the other way around.
Ever since his transfer to Barcelona, he has been holding down the midfield in total lockdown. He allowed xavi and iniesta the freedom to wreak their creative havoc in midfield last season.
Perhaps during the beginning of the season Pep wanted to get used to a team without Toure, since he was featuring in the ACN later in the year. However, now that the ACN is over and Toure is back from injury, I really hope Pep starts him over Busquets.
I really believe Busquet starting over Toure is the reason behind the dip in form. Granted there is also the lack of a proper left winger, but we have been dealing with that since the final season of rijkaard's reign, when Ronaldinho stopped caring.
The pivot/CDM role is significant in Barcelona's football philosophy. Busquets nowhere close to start over Toure.
On a final note, I hate Busquets
sorry
end rant

I actually did, but at that time he impressed me with his performances against atletico and inter. Now he is just getting very complacent and annoying. He suffers as many fouls as iniesta and messi. The latter two actually suffer fouls, this fool dives, which just gets on my nerves.
woah, this is very reminiscent of 08 when praise for henry and ronaldinho was followed by a scathing rant a few months later. Damn history and its repetetive quality.

He doesnt really suck. He has potential but he is very young. He doesnt have the wisdom and maturity to start for barcelona is an extremely significant position. Due to his physical weakness, he cant defend and mark as well as Toure, which leaves Xavi and Iniesta to help out in the defensive grunt work in the midfield. Sometimes he tries the "pass" instead of playing it simple. Toure knows when to keep it simple and when to thread the needle.
Pep sees something in Busquets from the days he has been coaching the youth team. However, he is not there yet. He should be second string at best not starting over Toure of all people.
