We still have yet to field our strongest 11, although with the way Roberto is playing Rakitic may not qualify for that for certain anymore.

I think his future is at CM but he played very well today. A potential problem for him is Roberto's sudden ability to play anywhere on the field including CM. But I feel like he's talented enough to make it here.

The Xavi/Iniesta thing is true for the first Euro. But for the WC everyone remembers Iniesta's goal, they talk about it all the time(And the chelsea goal). He still gets cheered everywhere in spain but bilbao I think.

That one tackle on Messi (After Ramos handled the ball) made Varane's entire career :lol:

Remember when they said Sergi couldn't play CM? I'm waiting for the day that We play Rafinha-Sergi and can rest Iniesta without worry.

We have attacking reinforcements coming in January thankfully.

Both penalties were given after good play from him, great control against Villareal.

Thats why I said MSN deputy first. Rafinha used to be the same always too eager to bomb forward but he started to change, and I think Alen can change too given time. But yeah he would likely start off as RW.

If this rumor is true, i'd be pissed. The club needs some sort of deputy for MSN right now the only ones that look capable are Rafinha and Halilovic. Also with Iniesta inevitably getting older next season we'll need to reinforce the midfield again, what better way than with Halilovic.

Yeah he has oddly looked in shape for all of this Turkey games, I guess Simeone had them through some sort of hell training, no wonder they keep in form the entire season.

I say give him another year before evaluating anything. Although considering our need for a proper backup the board might decide to bring him back.

He's getting so much better at cutting in with his left foot. If he keeps this up we'll end up buying him back lmao.

Its a damn shame Rafinha got injured, he'd have been playing min after min recently and we wouldnt need Munir/Sandro for the clasico.

Deulofeu on the LW should hopefully happen at some point. I see his growth similar to young ronaldo (Not in terms of level more trajectory). Start off on the right but move to the left to become more of a goal threat.

Saying even messi had problems isnt the same as saying hes as good as messi or even ever will be its saying "Even the goat had problems playing against such a tough team so its no surprise that alen didn't light everyone up" the fact that he still held his own pretty well is worthy of praise in...

Oh I didnt think they had plans for him, the more the merrier honestly, I think if we try enough young midfielders one of the has to turn out world class lmao.

Do it like the Atletico match, sub him in if things are looking a little rough, although if our defense plays well I'm sure Suarez/Neymar/Iniesta will be able to atleast pull out a draw.

So if he continues playing well they'll bring him back?

his strength and speed definitely increased, not worried that he didnt light them up as even Messi had problems at one point dealing with this team. Very promising. Too bad he didnt score that chance.

Atleast he was in the squad, means he's still on the radar.
