Spanish Primera Liga : La Liga 2013/14 , Atletico Madrid are Champions

[Vamban]

That's why the 'League' is boring to an extent...teams may think ignore those 4 games..concentrate on the remaining 34

I can't agree... the teams with high quality made other teams to push down.... Even EPL teams can't fight with La-liga giants Barca and Madrid....

Friends, what is your opinion on David Villa's absence due to injury?
Can it be a reason for Barca's failure?

Hitman,we had discussed about Villa's role in Barcelona even before his injury. Don't you remember? Villa is a natural striker . Still he was played on the left by Guardiola. So definitely the goals from him will tend to come down . This put pressure on him and became a vicious cycle. Being a diehard Barca fan , only because of their football philosophy and playing style what I am trying to tell is not a criticism of Pep or Messi but a painful observation . Over the last 4 years Barca's play revolves around Messi. With all the possession they have ,finally they try to penetrate through Messi. So when they are near the box or even inside the box they tend to pass it to Messi. Probably Messi has a greater chance of scoring compared to others as he is an exceptional player. But the big disadvantage is, it has taken the unpredictability factor from Barca's play. They don't shoot from outside the box,they don't try to create goal from nothing. Other players , however skilled they might be , are not testing themselves to score/try extravagant goals. These things have distorted the goal statistics of Barca and create the impression that players other than Messi can't score and Barca can't win without Messi. But it's not true. Argentina and Spain tell you the truth.
The message I would like to convey is, Barcelona should play a striker as a striker. David Villa is more than enough. But he should be played in the centre. They should have one or 2 players who can head home from set pieces and corners. Last but not the least they should undoubtedly improve their defense especially during set pieces.

That's there. Messi haters spread those news.
At the same time Barca haters say that without Messi , Barca/Xavi and Iniesta are nothing. They haven't watched Euro 2008 and World Cup 2010.

To be honest with you, both the arguments are wrong. What Xavi-Iniesta and Messi have created is a symphony that was never played before.
