    Jordi Alba

    Glad he joined us. We need someone for Abi! We cannot rely on Abidal anymore, especially with his liver. I find that Alba isn't the greatest of replacements especially his height and his physical strength though his tika-taka, link up play, attacking runs, his speed, defensive is all good and...

    Ibrahim Afellay

    Pep says that Ibi needs to work hard to be in a spot in the squad. Well tbh, Fabregas hasn't worked hard for his spot in the side. If he has been working hard than he should be scorin gthose easy goals and passing accurately. He clearly is troubled in the game. Afellay always works hard and is...

    Pep Guardiola

    Im disappionted with Pep yesterday. The trio of Xavi, Inestia and Busquests is vital for our team and well Inestia is wasted on the wing. Yes, he had a good game but he has more of an impact to the team in the middle with Xavi. Why is Xavi having an all right season this year? Its because...

    Cristian Tello

    Tello has been great off the bench for Barca but hasn't yet shown what he is made of when starting with Barca. This is why he needs another season with the B's and you will guess he will replace Afellay's role (if Afellay gets sold in 2013-14) as both these players have pace, skill and ability...

    Ibrahim Afellay

    A big reception for him when he comes on at the Camp Nou

    Mikel Arteta

    With the way he plays he is a decent to have in Euro. He is consistently playing well for Arsenal and tbh, he is a better player than Thiago atm. Del Bosque just hasn't reliased the talent he has. He also links up well with Xabi Alonso. They are like besties. Also read an article, saying that he...

    Xavi Hernández

    A great player for Barca but its also a worry tbh. With Thaigo and Fabregas both showing that they can't control the midfield well, we may have to rely on him to much like we are with Messi scoring goals. I think Busquests or Inestia will be his replacement tbh, but atm, we just have to watch...

    Eric Abidal

    He has surgery on Tuesday apparently. Good luck Eric! He may not play for the rest of the season but hopefully he will be fit and ready for the final like last season. He played a crucial role last year and well, I prefer him than Adriano for sure.

    Gerard Piqué

    Has improved throughout his past games beofre he hit injury which is good. He hasn't had the best of seasons, like most players this season but he is always a great contribution to the side.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v1

    I got a feeling when he reaches 30 that he will be playing CM. He probabs won't have the speed that he use to have.

    Defender for next season?

    There is more of a chance buying Ibra back than Varane coming here...

    Ronaldinho

    He was a great player for the club and was a reason why I started supporting Barcelona. Everytime he had the ball, you could tell something magical was goign to happen. He is past his days now but he will always be a hero for Barcelona.

    Ronaldinho

    The next number 10, to fill in both Ronnie's and Messi's? The next person will have pressure to be successful wearing that number on the back of his shirt.

    how would you play against barcelona ?

    Alves playing for Barca and well Hummels is slow and Messi will pass him for sure. Vidic showed how to stop Messi... Messi got past him everytime in that Champions League final. Silva and Mata would be great together though...

    9 - Samuel Eto'o

    tbh, it was silly of us to sell him for Ibra. He was playing well and was linking up with Messi well. He could also play on the right wing as he showed with Inter, so it wasn't like we weren't going to get the best of him if we switched him to that position. He is better than Villa at that time...

    Daniel Alves

    Montoya is a decent enough replacement and it will grow his confidence for the future. Alves will be okay. Don't rush him. We are fine atm.

    how would you play against barcelona ?

    Ramos, Thiago Silva, Chellini, Marcelo, Pepe, Alonso as your defensive players. Pepe at DM was a successful tactic. Another thing to do is to play the ball wide and counter attck Barca when they lose the ball. Alves will be out of position and well you have 3 men and a another coming back. 6-3/4...

    Martin Montoya

    Good news. With Fabregas out with suspesion, we should see a formation of 4-3-3 with Montoya starting. Im sure Pep won't play anyone apart from Fab in the false 10, therefore sticking with his successful formation. Good luck Martin!

    Martin Montoya

    He will have to step up for the games that Alves is injuried. He has deserved his spot so he needs to perform to retain his reputation for the club. He is a more defensive full back so there shouldn't be too many problems if there is counter attacks coming the other way. He sometimes love to...

    Ibrahim Afellay

    I really hoped he would come on for Zags game. Hopefully Getafe game, not Chelsea game. Need experience for a big game
