CHAPTER 258: Barcelona (5) - (0) Deportivo De La Coruna [analysis]

Alternative Title: Fantastic Five-O --- La Liga Record Broken In Style!
2nd Alternative Title: All Hail The Henry-Eto'o-Messi (and co) Connection
3rd Alternative Title: Daniel Alves, Simply The Best

Positives

• Win. 3 more points. Maintain top spot in the league as well as the 12 points.
• It’s now the 7th league win! We’re on a winning roll Barcelonistas!
• A domination of a game by Barça. Simply excellent.
• All goals scored by Barça’s front three. The on form trident not only in Spain, but perhaps also in Europ and the Planet Football!
• Messi scored a great goal. Great run, dribbling and a well placed shot (I think a lil’ bit of luck was there when he slotted the ball into the net).
• Henry scored two goals in this game. Another one of the triplet to further increase his goal tally in the league. A good header on his first and nice finishing on his second.
• Good cross from Daniel Alves for Henry on the Frenchman’s first goal.
• Samuel Eto’o scored two goals as well. Further increases his goal tally, and still maintain Pichichi status.
• Eto’s first goal was a at the right place at the right time situation.
• Alves once again provided a good cross which brought to the opportunity in Eto’s first goal.
• A good penalty from the Cameroonian as well for his second. And it concluded a great dominating performance from Barcelona.
• Have to state again, excellent domination in the game by Barça.
• Did Depor had any chance at all in the first half?!
• The forth goal came about from a great hassle by the Barcelona players. From the corner and Xavi’s passing into the path of the Barcelona attackers and that final touch from Henry.
• Wow, Puyol with that run he made seemed like he was destined to score! I think that perhaps Puyol should have made that penalty instead of Eto’o (it’s what I was thinking). Maybe he didn’t take it so Eto’o could have the chance to increase his goal scoring.
• Barça:
  
  • A clean sheet.
  • No yellow cards or cautions.
  • Did Depor get any freekicks?
  • Back to winning BIG!
• And less not forget, the big positive point: 50 POINTS MIDWAY IN THE LEAGUE BABY!

Negatives

• Henry’s shot in the 1st minute, could have been better. Just that Aranzubia stopped the ball with his foot. But a good shot from Henry.
• Eto’o’s chance on the 15th minute. Made a great run and dribbling, just a lil’ bad about the end product.
• Messi made two good headers in this game (one in the first half and the second in the second half about the 76th minute) just that the headers are just a lil off and wide of the goal. Both headers came from great crosses from Daniel Alves (who’s making himself a very important VIP – Very Important Player for the team).
• Keita’s chance in the first half perhaps would have been better had he shot the ball straight away before overcomplicating on his chances.
• The chance Eto’o had before he scored his first was difficult.
• Messi’s pass to Henry in the 54th minute could’ve been better (when Barça were on the break).
• On the 68th minute, there was a screw up between the Messi - Eto’o link (more on Eto’o’s fault though IMO).
• Iniesta made a good effort when he shot on the 71st minute, but a good stopped from Aranzubia.
