yes and we finally get to see Pique as LCB who stays back. (usually Mascherano when they play together) suits him better. Bartra is having a really nice confident game.. hope he plays more.. Jordi-Mascherano-Bartra-Alves

its funny because i've seen the same "he started bad/looks tired/not good enough yet" comments in Messi's thread, Fabreags', Dani Alves, Pique, Pedro, Tello, Xavi, Busquets, even Neymar, etc etc i find it kinda silly. i dont expect Iniesta to do anything on its own until EVERYONE puts an...

you mean Dani Alves not Busquets. right ? wandering somewhere probably having a drink with Sevilla's GK

im sorry, but he cant make up for certain skills just with workrate, let him use his workrate at his natural Midfield position. and about the 4-0 or Barca winning all the games with him as False9.. people must stop with this way of reading stats.. really.. i mean, you can end up with some...

i actually thought he was rubbish in Spain aswell as in Barca, for some odd reason Del Bosque decided to copy Barca's formation + style of play, but he didnt have some tiny dude named Messi, so what did he do ? exactly what we did when Messi was away or injured, used Fabregas. and to be honest i...

im pretty sure thats what Tata wants from him he also said he supports his forward runs but "we need to cover him when he does that" and i have to disagree with Tata on that (if they are actually his orders) because Masch was ALREADY a DM! so let him go up and be behind Busquets let the slow...

as much as his performance was horrible im still positive that its not about Pique, Dani Alves or any specific player Messi lost the ball like an amateur at least 4 times that game. leaving the place for an easy counter everytime and thats ^ not the first time thats happened lately aswell. the...

its pretty amazing to me how a player who always played CM in Arsenal, and was pretty damn good at it, suddenly becomes a striker or a false9 or even a winger (?!?!) in some games yes, he used to be CAM sometimes in Arsenal and take a larger part of the attacking game, but we dont play this...

i think u are wrong besides this game im sure i always saw Puyol as RCB . but oh well

i would prefer him to stay back and let Mascherano be the "puyol ball playing" defender... he's quicker and he actually WAS a DM and used to be closer to the midfielders..

does anyone know (or can guess) why we now use Pique as the RCB along with Alves on the right side? back in the good old times when it was Puyol+Pique, Puyol was always the RCB and Pique was always the LCB, im guessing because Puyol feels better on the right. but that was for the good because...

you DO know that Montoya is actually RB .. ? if anything i would let Montoya start instead of Alves, and let him build himself up a bit more.. he doesnt get enough playtime imo. and i actually belive he would be a lot more cautious in defending, and yea, maybe a bit more rusty in attack...

please no more fake9 for Fabregas. please. :cry:

are you seriously comparing a winger stats to a striker? :icon_confused: not only a winger but a winger in Barca, who tries to keep pressure and help in defense play as well, and of course, in a game where the opposition creates a perfect bunker of 11 players. Villa on the other hand was...

the game was slow because there were about 11 players in Atletico's defense line.. its hard to break for ANY team .. because thats as far as u get from playing football imo. and of course also, again, because we didnt press at all, i cant remember any player other than Pedro or Sanchez...

disagree the Xavi+Alves double pass + dani's cross + Neymar's header changed the match Cesc got a chance and wasted it, again. and i really think he didn't get this chance because of his wonderful vision, just because Atletico were tired of this horrible 11 players bunker, and we managed to...

go to your room and think about what you just said :tito1:

i would put any player who runs and fights for the ball as much as pedro Villa wasnt that good yesterday imo, he just scored the goal on the counter, a nice shot though.. but nothing that amazing in our current squad with Alves who losses balls and doesnt bother to come back, Xavi who cant...

i actually think our main issue last season (and a bit before) wasn't the defence but the overall rhythm of play, everyone was just walking 80% of the time.. with all that wierd "50 passes in defence" method thats not Tiki Taka and it helps nothing i agree that Mascherano has his flaws, and so...
