Tweet Wagons and Rexicles






























@Punalty shootout becomes latest online presence to use twitter lingo and syntax. #sluts

@Topal and @Parejo class the midfield, engineering a thoroughly dominant display of silky touches and possession football. #majestic

@Pablo has a blinding 1st half, looked spookily identical to Vicente Rodriguez in his prime, flying at defenses and raking up assists, giving the finger to Emery for leaving him out even while fit - in favor of Feghouli. #travesty

Kenwyne Jones a.k.a Charlie Murphy a.k.a Daaaarkknnessss, decides he and @Adil Rami cannot live apart, Rami decides Kenwyne Jones can live in parts. #pwned

@Bruno puts in a tremendous performance at RB, aggressive defense in terms of ball winning from charging wingers, beautiful subtle touches and flicks to find teammates, and intelligent mature possession of the ball. #Missing Link

@Alba on the other makes Valencia more and more foresightedly wistful, most of us treating him like a terminal disease and resigning ourselves to enjoying the time we have left with him, till he gets amputated painfully to a powerhouse club next season. Delight at seeing him at LB instead of headless-chicken crosser Mathieu, is tempered by the depressing acknowledgement that he is wayyy too talented to not be at Barca next season. #Barca's missing link

@Piatti once again gives flashes of Messi-ic intentions, and tendencies too. Got robbed off the ball and stopped in his tracks almost every single time, but only through body checks and hefty challenges (not all unfair either). Still very much a WIP, but with gym-time and more maturity in passing, a scary prospect in the making for Che (before he gets amputated off to Barca as Messi Lite of course). #Underwait

@Aduriz, actually played in this game. #Really?

@ Feghouli comes, blunders about, gives 2 freekicks on the edge of the area, and manages to miss 2 easy chances. #Liability

@ Dealbert, who only got noticed in contrast with Alexis' horrible debut season signed from Getafe, puts in a solid performance. Not much of a zone defender, but man-marking par excellence. Perfectly complements Rami's dynamic defending. Would love to see a seamless back 3 of Ruiz, Rami, and Dealbert behind Wingbacks Bruno, Alba and Central MF pair (can't be fussy, so any 2 of Albelda, Banega, Costa, Parejo, and Topal. #RICH!, at least after Banega returns from injury. #Temporarily poor) behind Jonas, feeding front 2 of Soldado and Pablo. #Starship Entropize

@ Parejo makes us all wonder why he doesn't feature more often. Ran the first half show, Topal took over in first 20mins of 2nd half, before either the 20mins rest or the threat of substitution proved the kick in ass for Parejo to reemerge and boss the remaining 25mins of the game. Emery should make his starting place more permanent, for 80% of the game he was quite deadly. #Parejo Principle

@ Emery proves his brilliance again in face of flagging confidence from Che support (me included). Instead of shutting up shop, makes 2 attacking changes in search of second goal, which should have come if Soldodo didn't fluff a 1 on 1 clean through on goal. #Pre-emerytive strike.

@ Valencia now face PSV - who are fighting a really close Eredivisie - safe in the knowledge of their ground based superiority and class, and newly found aerial guardian. #Grawww

@ Bilbao pull a rabbit out the hat to advance. Just to find next day newspaper rumors of Bielsa lined up to replace Pep next season. #Alice
