As always you give very thorough and detailed tactical layouts. +1 Wish we had more level headed posters instead of ones who say "OMG DANI OUT, PEDRO:pedro:, OUT LUCHO, OUT MESSIIII!!" I agreed with all your points, especially how Pedro can be a great RM given his work rate :pedro: and general...

I like you

Still believe Masch should cover in the DM position in this match and Bartra should play in the RCB. The fact that Lucho hasn't allowed Bartra a decent string of games or MONTOYA MORE GAMES is hard to believe as someone who was advocating the youth and La Masia during his press conferences. If...

Really good analysis. +1 Alba for me should always start of Alves simply because he has the pace and desire to not jog back and help defense, but instead make his little legs run as fast as he can. Messi has enough interplay with Suarez and Neymar alone to provide passing outlets, no to mention...

That surprised me. I hope Rafinha atleast starts next match or get's playing time. Wonder what's going on in Lucho's mind to not even include Montoya in case Alves' foot comes off

+1. Well thought out and i agree 100%. Gundogan is my dream singing for Barcalona simply because he understands the puppeteer role Xavi plays at our club but offers his own in his physicality and efficiency. Also, i don't want Real Madrid to get him just like they got Modric and Isco :(

He can still be more useful than Pedro in most instances. Sometimes we need a player who can just charge through players and force his way in

The English Commentators in Sky Sports said he's 6 feet tall, but all the sources say he's 5'9. Then again for our standards he is tall if he is 5'9 considering Xavi, Alba, Alves, Neymar, Messi, Munir, Iniesta, Masch and Rafinha (cant forget Pedro the invisible) are all under 5'10

It's obvious Montoya doesn't take training seriously enough, other wise he would be playing much more than he is at the moment. He has the speed and technique to get forward more effectively coupled with his defensive ability. Wonder why he doesn't use it... Could be the lack of regular playing...

MAtS should be given the Copa and the smaller La Liga teams while Bravo has UCL and larger opponents in the Liga. Other wise it should have been Bravo for Copa and UCL and Marc for La Liga

Don Andres Iniesta will be essential in this classico. If he can build a tempo of quick passes in succession with Neymar and Messi there will be goals. Lots of them. I don't count Suarez as we don't know if he will start or come on later in the game.

I wouldn't mind seeing him with Busi tbh. I think they would compliment each other fairly well. If not a Masch-Rakitic-Iniesta midfield with Xavi and Rafinha coming in as subs would do well to control the flow and end it off

Pique is a case of growing complacent because no one could take his spot. I would not mind selling him to Man City for 40 million or so if we didn't have a transfer ban and buying someone like Laporte, Varane :xavi: , Hummels or Benatia (but that ship has sailed)

Bartra should not start the clasico, he hasn't played enough games to warrant a start even though he is in my eyes the best choice. It will most likely be Cross Machine - Midget - Ginger Smoker - Chipmunk Although Bartra would be the best choice with Mathieu with Masch as a DM to help cover...

He can lose the weight with Klopp's insane training style, and if he can get over his back injury, infection, ebola whatever it was i don't have doubts that he can be back to his best

Anyone have english commentary of the game? I couldn't catch it :barca scarf: Also, does anyone think that Gundogan could be the best CM on the market next summer (even though we do have the transfer ban) and what are our chances of signing him. I really want him in the Blaugrana

Like most people say, our team is incomplete without Suarez, but Lucho dropped the ball :bravo: against PSG. No reason that Bartra should not be left out for Mascherano as CB. Stick the butcher in the midfield and watch him bully other players far from our third and win it without the fear of a...

I sold Pedro in Football Manager 2014 for 49.5 Million Dollars to Chelsea. How much would Barca fans say he's worth for someone to buy him? We constantly undervalue or own players but i would say take him for 20 Million and send Delefeou. At the very least he adds some height (5'11) and can get...

Why don't we ever try a 4-2-3-1 formation? It would ideally be the most defensively sound and would still be able to contain enough offensive threat and play making ability to break down most teams Alves - Bartra (Pique) - Mathieu (Vermaelen) - Alba Busquets - Mascherano...

In Zubi we trust He pulled off an amazing transfer window so what's to say he can't do it again
