No ACN for him
Good news. January/February is always hard as Copa matches kick in. Pep used to say that titles are won in winter.

This is huge good news for Barca. Now, as soon as Tito figures out that Busquets is the #4 centerback instead of Song, then the team is deep enough to last out the year.
Del Bosque does a fantastic job picking lineups, and he knows what an asset Busquets is at CB. Song is better off subbing for Busquets or even Xavi than at CB.

That´s just... I dont even know what to say.
You're right, let's stay with the same flawed system. 3 defensive mids and no replacement center backs.
Gotta love Barca's logic at setting a ridiculous buyout for him.

So, tell me Phils... you seen Busquets playing against France? Are you still willing to allow Sergio anywhere near the CB spot?

To be fair to Sergi, Song has had his share of lapses already at CB. Mascherano has them weekly.
That's what we get for not signing a real defender.

I'm trying to not find out the Spain-France result until I can see it on DVR later today.
Yes, I would put Busquets at CB before Song or Adriano. Though I'd give Bartra a shot first, which Tito won't do. Maybe 2 of 3 or Masch, Pique & Puyol can be available for every remaining game this year.

I don't think Sergi would do too well in CB consistently. I don't see him tracking runs or jostling with big forwards. Even though he's taller than Mascherano, he's not as tough. Sergi thrives deep in midfield and wins the ball well by applying pressure

Good game. No fouls commited. Best defender in the field.

Is this tongue in cheek? I mean, of course he didn't commit fouls... he wasn't anywhere near the attacking Depor players to commit any!

He recovered 7 balls in defense. Don´t bitch just because...

Sure he did... an actual CB could have done THAT and also been able to stop the goals. Am I nuts?

Too bad he wasn't playing in the midfield where his great ball recovery skill wouldn't be nullified from terrible positioning.

He showed, again, he is no cb. Good cover for Busquets, but nor for cb. And Tito won't sign any cb on the winter. I hope Pique and Puyol recover and dont get injured again.
