Rash, I said each case has to be taken on its own merrit which is what you aren't doing.

For Barca to go forward after winning the league and European Cup they had to win at least one of them again. I think they could have done with the squad they had at the time.

Our team that won in 2005 was nowhere near as good as the Barca side that won it the year after, and although we didn't win the European Cup in 2006 I think we improved and had a better team. So no, we didn't go backwards.

It's not pathetic, immature or two faced, it's an opinion that's different to yours. Liverpool and Barcelona are at totally different places at this moment in time which is why people can have one rule for Rafa and another for Rijkaard. Maybe some of us are slightly biased but that's what happens when you talk about the team you support, and this is a Liverpool forum, not a Barcelona one.
