I really don't understand how people see us as so strong defensively at the moment. Maybe in the beginning of the season, but IMO the team is starting to look horribly disorganized collectively and individually lethargic with marking. Sevilla could have put 5 past us easily with more cynical finishing. Against Chelsea we were extremely lucky as well.

There's no way we could hold down Camp Nou like Liverpool held down Anfield against City. Let alone against a team like Roma.

True. I've been thinking the same. Of course Steigen helps.becaus he is brilliant. The problem is midfield. It's just too easy to overrun with fast midfield. It causes a lot of trouble to our good defense. I see the midfield as our weak point. They are good keeping the ball but counter attacks are our kryptonite..

We had Alves-Pique-Puyol-Alba in defence, thats better than what we have now.
Also we had peak Xavi-Iniesta-Busquetes, thats miles better than our current midfield (attack was the best defence)
Ontop of that, Xavi and Iniesta created 168967726x more for our attackers than our current midfield that relies only on Messi.

Overall not so great but he is cleary a player who is able to create something out of nothing. Suarez is missing every chance dembele is providing and somehow i feel sorry for dembele because some passes are really great and deserve some praise. I am not worried about dembele and i am certain he will improve with time...
 
All game he's been dropping gems. Fucking Suarez has just been sailing them over the crossbar.

What gems? His sloppy passes are not gems. True that Suarez is terrible. But imagine Rakitic's crosses at those instances. His crosses are very defendable, even when he is clear to cross. Add to that his Messi-esque dribble attempts despite losing the ball every time and careless short passes. Only Suarez is worse than him in today's match.
