Hope he's back soon and is able to show his quality AND stay fit !?

So why did we risk our elite players against such a physical team in a nothing competition given the importance of the upcoming games ?,!? We could have given the fringe players some valuable time .

Anyone see Xavi's tweets yesterday raving about Veratti !?! Said he's technically brilliant , the nearest current player to himself ( Xavi) and ideally suited to our team !!!

I see the same happening this time as well ... I'm certainly not expecting Chelsea to be a pushover even though they're in turmoil .. ...

Funny thing is when we signed him so many in here were slagging him off before he'd even played for us due to a couple of errors he made in the past ... He's been great whenever I've seen him . Good back up goalie .

Na ...as I said , I've been his greatest supporter but it's now clear that he will have to move away and rebuild his confidence and career elsewhere .

Valverde did that same thing with his hoodie when Messi shot 30 yards over the bar .... just saying ..

Na ... Good game nothing amazing ... Good goal but terrible miss when he dragged that easy chance 10 yards wide . One of his better games though... Still not good enough to be a Barca starter ..

Yeah that's the one .... 24 targets ??

Played 41 times - probably mostly as sub as well . Don't let the facts get in the way of you slaughtering him , though

Certainly not Iniesta - his shots barely reach the goals , these days

It's getting worse by the week how teams are being allowed to hack our main players down without punishment usually as well This cup is basically meaningless so why are we risking Messi , Suarez , Iniesta , Alba and Pique ?! Especially given Coutinho, Digne and Mina NEED playing time !!!?

Messi has given the ball away four times already and each time resulted in a dangerous breakaway for Valencia. Some of you guys are too blinkered to give a reasonable opinion...

That's just ridiculous hating on a Barca player !! His confidence is shot that's all that's wrong with the guy ! I had high hopes for him but it's becoming apparent that he'll never be accepted here . Best moves to another , club and have a fresh start ,

Oddly enough only today our beloved Xavi has named Veratti has the nearest current player to himself and says he'd love to see him playing for Barca !! Xavi: “Marco Veratti is the player that resembles me most today. Technically he does everything right, he's very important for PSG, he's a...

I still have high hopes for Samedo ... I reckon his problem is that he's being partnered by different players on the right and none of them have done well there .. It's easy for Alba to link up with Messi on the left ...

Incidentally as regards the tackle /assault which put Pique out for a month + .... will the authorities not look at the incident and maybe ban the guy ??

I'd like to see how Coutinho would do on the number wall test .... The one that's on Twitter showing Messi getting all the numbers in QuickTime ..

He was basically unplayable last night , scored one could easily have had three .. at least one assist or seriously involved in a couple of the goals . He was clattered a few times as they tried to soften him up ...

Delofeu was easily man of the match tonight by a long way . It's the best I've seen him play ever ... for lowly Watford against Chelsea all stars ..... he completely overshadowed Hazard who was MIA again apart from scoring a consolation goal in the 83rd minute- good goal though .
