Big move by Pep in going with three at the back and dropping Dani A for Pique. Risky but we shall see if Barca miss Alves' runs from the back.
arrgh why the HECK do I have a presentation to do in a class at 2 pm I will most likely miss the game. Usually I would skip class to watch champs league but can't today. Debating on whether I should check the scores after class or wait until they replay it at 7 pm on fox soccer channel and watch it w/o knowing what happens.
It's time to score goals but I bet Alves is in soon after the start of the second half. I expect a relentless assault that will rival The Blitz. The chances were there before so I expect them to be there again.
alves' play has been pretty mechanical and predictable lately, i think it is a good move. can always insert him in later in the game.
