Andrés Iniesta

[Alarcón]

i dunno what you guys are arguing about BUT subbing iniesta was a decent decision.

In what way? Even a poor Iniesta is still better than most players, he is our creative linchpin and replacing him with a winger is a stupid idea, even if the winger was Ronaldo

i don't know really, when the game was on i had a feeling that if someone had to be subbed in the first place it should've been fab, then iniesta, and martino did exactly what i thought. i didn't base it on logic but if i tried to explain it i think it would be something like we need attackers, iniesta couldn't go past the center without losing the ball in the second half, subbing xavi would be bad because he was the only midfielder holding on to the ball, subbing a defender off would be scary, subbing messi off would be logical BUT when it comes between messi and iniesta i'd obviously choose messi to stay, he can score a goal out of nowhere, but it doesn't apply to iniesta, and it's less possible for iniesta who's having a shitty game to decide it in one move like messi does when he also has a shitty game. i might be wrong i dunno but that was a solution i agreed with.

Iniesta: "We have to be on our best possible game to win the Copa."

Iniesta: "Tomorrow we will try until the very end."

Iniesta: "We have to be self-critical when we fail."

Iniesta: "Our players have done great in many tough moments."

Iniesta: "If things do go well. You get up and try again. Until the last breath."

Iniesta: "It is a final. The feeling to lift the cup and see the fans happy is priceless."

Iniesta: "Cristiano is very important for them. But we do not play differently whether he is there or not."

INIESTA: "Barcelona has set the bar very high. It seems we are not satisfied with anything less."

Iniesta: "But you can't always win. This is a sport. This is football."

Iniesta: "No one doubts Messi what so ever. There is no reason to worry about him."

Iniesta: "Problem is, Messi set the bar so high. So in occasions like these you feel like something is wrong."

Iniesta: "People start thinking something is wrong with Messi if he doesn't score twice in a match."

Iniesta: "A revenge for 2011? Maybe. Though now there are different circumstances. "

Iniesta: "El Clasico is different without Mourinho."

Iniesta: "We made a lot of mistakes but the match is over, we shouldn't commit those errors again in the future" #fcb

One of our very few players that showed some heart at least and energy.

He was lost tonight... Still tried to make things work...

 

[Galning]

He wasn't good but at least he tried. Which is a very rare trait these days.

 

[Deco 20]

He improved quite a bit after moving into midfield, and we immediately looked more dangerous

^ out of the whole old guard he is the only one I could really feel sorry for.

he tried to will victory in all three competitions. while some of the guard watched on.

Iniesta's sensational form a couple weeks ago looked like it could carry the team until the end of the season. His drop in form has coincided with the team collapsing.
