    He is not Catalan. Nor is Pedro for that matter.

    The backline a problem?

    You also have to remember that Bartra was promoted as a result of a contract clause. Players like Fontas and Dos Santos had similar types of promotion but they got even less time than Bartra in other years. If Muniesa didnt hurt himself he would have been a contract promotion too. Sergi Roberto...

    The backline a problem?

    It was a different kind of pressure. Tello basically had bad decision making shouted out of him by Messi. Most of the time it was off the bench so he didnt have much time to grow into the games. It was 15 minutes and dont make the wrong pass or shot. Alexis was injuring himself a lot at that...

    The backline a problem?

    Bartra had more experience than both having debuted in 2010. When he played 5 games that season both of Tello and Cuenca were in Barca B and at Sabadell. Pep simply liked Cuenca's style which is why he put him in the in pre season even though he just had come back from loan in the 3rd division...

    Thiago Translantara

    That, and he complained in the press about being benched for the rest of the tournament after the Switzerland loss in 2010. He then got a chance in one of the Euro qualifiers and didn't look back.

    Marc Bartra

    Plenty? There were two appearances in total. He should have played 20 plus games this year but the 16 he played were still double the total amount of the last 2 years.

    Marc Bartra

    Pique's on the ball skills that are exceptional are more his footwork than his long passing. Ramos has a better long ball but Pique and Bartra have excellent dribbling ability. None of them come close to the Kaiser Marquez though. Even in his last season he was getting out paced and out...

    Francesc "Tito" Vilanova

    Pep was the one that started playing Adriano as a CB in 2011 before the cl final. Then as a 3rd CB when Abidal went in for surgery in 2012. He also payed him in central midfield and as a winger . Its just like when Tito played Thiago as Busquets replacement. Mass meltdown even though he did that...

    Thiago Translantara

    Its this exactly. He will take Puyi and leave someone like Azpilicueta at home without batting an eyelid. Forgetting about Thiago for a second, De Gea will have to have the year of his life to even come near ousting Reina the dressing room joker. And even then Reina will probably have to be...

    See Albiol. You are looking at it logically but that isnt how has been shown to happen Las Rozas.

    Thiago Translantara

    That isnt how Del Bosque's track record of selection works from what we have seen over 4 years. Pedro in his worse form got picked over people like Adrian and Soldado that had the season's of their life last year. Montoya played two clasico's and Del Bosque called him up. Hell, he got called up...

    Because we live in a world where De Gea isnt available.The player who shot was Memphis Depay.
