I think Lucho has to be given credit for attempting to evolve the way the team plays. Getting the same group of players to play the same way we did under Pep hugely difficult. It would just be watered down version of that team. The players are being presented with a new challenge with his...

In fairness, Puyol wasn't that impressive early on in his career. His positional play was suspect a times but his passion won everybody over. He improved greatly as he got older. Maybe something similar will happen with Barta. It seems pretty obvious that he wont be one to slack off. He'll...

I get your concerns Bertus and you certainly know the team better than any of us here but I was impressed with PSG tonight. They are one of the best teams in the world at maintaining possession of the ball under pressure. They played some lovely stuff at times. They could have offered more in...

It really is ludicrous if that's what he really thinks. Such a class player. An absolute joy to watch. He's always calm on the ball and gets out of the tightest of situations. His defensive contribution is huge also. He prevented Messi from shooting on 3 separate occasions with well timed...

He was easily the best midfielder on the pitch tonight.

This. A fair few sloppy touches but overall he really played well. His presence on the pitch and his movement are a huge bonus in themselves.

We'll see how he is once he gets his match fitness back but for sure this is his worst season as a Barca player.

That triple clearance was so Puyol-esque. It's frustrating to see him repeatedly make the same mistake of being to eager in the challenge and getting wrong side. This eagerness is one of his greatest qualities though. If he can get this balance right then he'll be a beast.

He was very good apart from that absolute fail of a cross. A great squad player to have.

Ye he really is making a case to be starting DM.

Few good tackles but once again he is guilty of being to casual on the ball and giving it away.

It really sucks that his two worst performances have been as a LB against Madrid and tonight as a LCB in a back 3. One of his main strengths was supposed to be the flexibility he would provide us with in defence.

Couldn't stop laughing when that came up on Sky. :lol:

He's got balls anyway, that's for sure.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd.....its Pedro.:barca scarf:

The goal was on Busi but ye it was terrible defending by Pique for it also. His overall level of performance is still encouraging though.

:mats:

The guardian say its expected to be a month. I thought it was confirmed after his test results but after clicking into it says the results wont be back till today or tomorrow. It seems they're confident it isn't too bad anyway.

It's only a month. Still a terrible time to get injured with all the Christmas fixtures coming up but at least he's not out for the season.
