How far off Barcelona are we?

How far off Barcelona are we? - maybe 60 -70 Games away which would add consistency to our play and a possible Mancini "Plan B" and 2/3 more Transfer Windows.

If you take Pique out of the Back Line how good are the others at actually defending ? Can anybody think of an easier job in Football than the one Busquets has? I cant.

The key to this team is that Barca control the tempo of the play that much they hardly ever comes under pressure and the tactic they have of hunting in packs high up the pitch to win possesion is what sets it all apart. Throw in Messi who in my opinion is not as good as Pele but better than Maradonna ever was as the icing on the cake.

The best attacking play thats ever been seen is quite possible. However I do think the Arsenal team of Viera,Petit, Overmars etc would have given them a game and it really, really, distresses me to say so would Scum's treble winners.
 
We do play in a similar way to barcelona but the big difference between us and them is that they have Xavi and iniesta who can find the space and time to make killer passes. If you look at their play last night the passing of the ball was absolutely amazing and the best we have or will see for some time. Like the commentators kept saying it wasn't just any team they were doing this to it was an unbeaten real madrid side managed by mourinho.

So basically we someone in the middle better at passing the ball than Barry
