Barcelona's 2-1 win over Deportivo La Coruna covers up a lot of things regarding their defensive frailties. The Catalans huffed and puffed to grab the three points but that is largely due to the penetrative and ball winning abilities of Andres Iniesta and the magical front play of Bojan Krkic.
The Catalans weren't looking as confident as you would have liked them to be and Frank Rijkaard must have taken notice. It was very evident from the opening quarter that Barca have forgotten the basics of defence.
They give way too much space to players lining up long shots and have absolutely no positional sense (with skipper Carles Puyol an exception of course) when it comes to man marking. It was a poor display from the Barca defence YET AGAIN and it is shocking that such a class team can offer so much space to a team positioned as far as 17 places below them.
To Barca fans, before you go to sleep on this night, just thank God that you have Iniesta in your team.....
