I though Benayoun was our best player yesterday, which says it all when he was only on for 30 minutes. Has to start against Stoke surely?

Yes he does but try convincing Rafa of that.

Rafa went with Babel due to his good pre season and the fact he looked dangerous on wed night - babel disappointed - cant blame the manager for that - he went with form player

Yes, but seeing his awful performance why not making a quick change in the HT, why did he wait until the 65th minutes ffs?

Barcelona linked with Liverpool FC winger Albert Riera

i am convinced that someone at some point in the past must have played a practical joke on Rafa saying it was illegal to make a sub before the 60th minute and then forgot to tell him it was all b0ll0cks afterwards.

Anyone know what Riera's injury is all about and how long he's expected to be out for?  News to me, this one.

After the international game no injury reports that I know of. I don't know, but his absence may be for personal reasons, a team mate of his former club has passed away unexpectedly, and Riera was more affected than others. He was the one that was going to deliver the shirts of Spain to Jarque's family and friends.


I just hope he's not injured because we needed his game last year for our balance, and so do we this one.

rumor that he was at his funeral  

We had a moment of silence for Jarque last Sunday, very poorly recognized by  a lot of the south american contigent at the game. Felt embarrassed.

shhhh! Nobody tell them how inconsistent he is!

[bigmick]

Once again for the right money and AT THE RIGHT TIME I'd have up for a chat with them about Riera. I should think his value would be 11-14 million quid, maybe more given he's a Spanish International. Selling him now though, who else we gonna get

Silva

If the money is good, why not sell him and futhermore the owner left with 1.5M ...

[stmichael]

Riera wouldn't get anywhere near Real or Barca's starting elevens.

I am afraid it's more a matter of Rafa being stubborn, since he decided a long ago that Babel is a special talent, and he doesn't like being proved wrong.
