Alaba woud be amazing, can play LB , DM and even CM

--------------Boateng---------- --Dembele-------------Malcom -------Arthur------Alena------- --------------Puig-------------- -Vermaelen------------Wagué ---------Umtiti---Todibo------ ----------Cillessen------------ Or... the team that played against Huesca with Arthur instead of Vidal and...

I wouldn't be so sure about it. To me Roberto clearly seemed to be the right choice and he brought Semedo for a change of tactics which seemed to be very well timed. Semedo seems to be a humble hard working player and he clearly can compete for this starting place. But I would give Roberto a...

Messi reported to want Valverde to stay tells you sufficient insider info you need to know. All the whining like spoiled capricious punks despite very positive results is just fuss in the air.

I was also thinking a few months ago of "inventing" a formation so to speak to make both Dembélé and Coutinho starters. Unfortunately, I think it would need some weeks if not months to practice gradually, and Barca might get knocked out cold against the likes of Liverpool if they try to turn on...

Let's hope I am wrong, if Liverpool plays that intense gegenpressing, we might see Arthur's real level and how he can handle it with the style he seems to emulate from Xavi/Iniesta. I think Arthur is very solid in La Liga etc.. but against this Liverpool side he might be challenged. But we...

Quite delicate to do a lineup on this one considering the circumstances. Levante shall bring Barca some work to do, let's not slip on this one. Match fitness is also needed, especially for players who might have delicate tasks to do on the ball againts Liverpool's pressing. Would play like this...

I dont know if you guys realize that Messi and Suarez playing against Alaves would made them play more 3 times 90 minutes (theoretically) in 7 days, thats huge. It’s a very delicate choice to make and we dont know what’s happening on the training ground. It seems to me that it would be more...

I might be wrong Indeed. I dont wanna push the theory too far as I might fall into speculation. I am asking myself if the 15-20 hard minutes Manchester put on at the beginning in the Camp Nou are due to the players not having "rehearsed" prior to the game. Let's see if I am wrong, my guess is...

Yes do Something about it

Suarez is a volume player, playing him twice this week before Liverpool might be very risky. Messi could play but playing him twice is also risky.

Personally I don't agree with going on full force and would do a 50-50 when it comes to rotations. In my opinion, playing with key playmakers next saturday might be beneficial to have Barca's game on the ball well rehearsed against Liverpool who are very likely to put some strong pressure at...

I wouldn't be overconfident as some members here seem to be. On a tactical level, they can really make it hard for Barcelona in some phases of the game, but I highly doubt they would be easily able to put on some high pressure on the Blaugrana for the full 90 minutes. In my opinion, Barca...

Piqué is not a super-human, Playing Lenglet-Pique for the whole 3 upcoming games might be a mistake imo

------------Suarez------------ --Dembélé----------Messi---- ----Coutinho------Roberto--- --------------Busquets------- --Alba----------------Semedo -----Lenglet-------Umtiti----- ----------Ter Stegen--------- Lets bring the fight to them with Roberto who seems to have more physical impact than...

Valverde doing a very solid job so far

Would be good to give Dembélé some minutes so het gets back on track imo. Arthur might also play around 50-60 minutes ------------------Boateng------------- ---Malcom------------------Dembélé- -------Coutinho-------Alena---------- -----------------Arthur---------------...

Getting that result wigth a very mature tactical performance is an achievement and very encouraging. Alternating that 4-4-2 with a 4-3-3 can give Barca a tactical edge in Cl games

Arthur needs match fitness, Coutinho needs to bring himself back to the mix and prove his skills. Roberto, to me and that's just my personal assessment, has shown slightly better performances than Semedo. Semedo needs to be given the chance to compete for a starting place.

After going " la cabesa contra la cabesa" with Ramos, Commandante Messi continues to lead Barca in an heroic resistance in maintaining the their excellent situation in La Liga and maybe the CL. Real got chinned by Barca, and Messi gives that unique spice to this team, that performance, that...
