And also the reason why we play with only 2 central midfielders.
What is better? In terms of balance...
Having Messi and Suárez on top with Messi deeper, Coutinho and Dembélé as your wide midfielders with Busquets and Rakitic in the centre or;
Iniesta, Rakitic and Busquets as your CM’s with a front 3 of Coutinho, Messi and Dembélé...

Improved a bit, still no where near enough. He still needs to gauge the success-risk better before attempting a dribble especially when he is not in the final third, when it is not allowed to loose the ball. Also he needs to be more agressive. When gomes fouled malaga's player he was 2 meters away just watching the action like a ref. And finally the elephant in the room, his shooting. Looks like his right leg is a bit stronger, although less accurate. Whatever leg suits him he needs to shoot more to be more productive. Assisting is not enough, we have too many cooks in the team, what we need more are murderers. Prime example is Suarez, 100 times less dexterous, 100 times more important.

The first option as numbers show.

What numbers?
I asked you about side balance... And that was my initial point all along too.

Points, goals scored, goals conceded.

We score more goals when playing a 4-3-3 but that’s not my point. Which side is more balanced?
The 4-4-2 Valverde played earlier is far removed from Coutinho and Dembélé playing as wide men. Don’t forget that.
Lovely. This tribe/wagon mentality is not healthy. People are allowed to have different opinions; it's not everyone should think like me or otherwise they are ******. I defended the guy because he has the courage to state his opinion even if it is against what this wagon believes, and he does it respectfully using logic.
Talking about logic, one can simply say that Dembele's performance today is similar to what Aliex Vidal has been putting in some of the games he played. Why do we need to over value a performance if it comes from one player and under value it if it comes from another player that are both in the same team? I will tell you why .. it's because you think you are judging Dembele's performance today when you actually are looking into his potential, what he could be (the young age factor). So when I for example am saying that Dembele didn't do anything exceptional today, I am talking about today and only today (potential isn't in the equation).

No all he was doing was trying to make excuses as to why shouldnt praise Dembele today.
No logic involved.
Neither is he 'respectful' either.

Show me one game where Vidal has made an assist, had 4 key passes, created 1 clear chance and made 5/8 dribbles.
I criticised him for his performance against Espanyol but I can’t fault this one. He just needed a goal to round it off.
