A Friendly Tie

Today Barcelona played their first friendly of the 2011-12 season against Hajduk Split. The first half started with Victor Valdes, (D) Dalmau Armando Fontas Lobato, (M) Dos Santos Carmona Keita, Thiago, Villa and Afellay up front, but Pep switched up the entire line-up for the 2nd half. Iniesta was the man of the match setting up plays left and right but no one could follow through with a goal. Maybe his new BA haircut helped him.
I love looking at Victor during games but now it's almost impossible to stare at him with that awful green kit. I am not really digging the home kits either, sorry to say. It's not working for me.
I am also convinced that Barcelona can not function without Xavi, Iniesta, Messi or Pique on the field. They were slightly messy with the B squad today, they had no chemistry being mixed in with each other.
