Deportivo have been moving the ball around quite well. Might be in for a game still....I hope.

I thought he slipped to be honest rather than actually screwing up.

Since our left aide is so strong and Neymar and Alba are linking well, I'd like to try Iniesta at RCM to bring him.closer to Messi. It would give him someone to link with and give Neymar and Iniesta more room to operate plus balance the team.

Pep said he wouldn't play today if I remember right.

That's who I've had in mind as a Dani replacement.

I took it that he feels they overlook him because he plays for Everton but still respect/rate him as a player.

Surely that's before tax

I don't know if he himself is arrogant but his play seems to be, if you get what I mean? That can be detrimental to the team if he tries to go it alone because he thinks he can when there's better options. Especially with calibre of team mates he has.

Lol yup. Chances are most people would understand from that definition.

Thats what I meant by a half back, the almost 3rd defender.

I liked how he was trying through balls and seemed more intelligent in his playmaking. Looks like another good season is on the cards for him.

I suspect the reason Samper not being promoted isn't due to a lack of talent but more because of our new tactics. We don't really play with a holding midfielder nowadays. If you watch Busquets he switches between a kind of half-back and a more advanced ball winner during the the games and rarely...

I don't know if I like him.... Granted he's progressing well but there seems to be a sort of arrogance in his play which makes him make the wrong decisions like some quest for personal glory which I find frustrating. I hope that he produces some moments of magic and gets it out of his system...

Or Denis Suarez :lol:

@Blaugrana Man no worries :) I too miss Messi's youthful exuberance but the trade off for his mature and more experienced game is well worth it. Especially the way he's playing this season.

He's not 28, he's 27.

I saw this during the game and thought it was a reaction to a conversation on the bench or something but seeing it again it almost looks like a tick. Does he have Tourettes?

Lol pretty much yeah. He was injured every season of his Arsenal spell and Arsene made him play a good few times while injured too so that's got to take toll on his body. Maybe burnt out is the wrong phrase. I. Meant more ran him intonthe ground.

I'm inclined to think Arsene burnt him out.

No wonder he looked disgruntled if this is true. Could be just a show of defiance toward Lucho right enough.
