Where Was I?

Isn't it funny? After their loss to Getafe, the Blaugrana just look toothless. Pretty passing, but little else. No intestinal fortitude, no GUTS. The front three look lost, led by a Ronnie who seems too tired to do the work when off the ball. The entire squad just sort of has that 'Oh, who's gonna go back and mark so-and-so?' approach. Unbelievable. Barça has an amazing array of talent on their side, but it still has yet to show some grit, to punch through adversity and make the necessary runs to either protect their own net or find the opponent's. These patty-cake away matches by Barcelona are embarrassing, showing a lack of creativity as well. Rijkaard is going to have to switch to a 4-4-2 if for no other reason than to at least trim a lethargic front three (I'm thinking Henry & Messi should stay up).

Geez, I look at Real Madrid's play and it's painful. I mean, those guys are good. Maybe what Rijkaard needs is a drill instructor from the French Foreign Legion. Give a lot of those affluent awarding-winning players a spine.
