Andrés Iniesta

[DinhoR10]

He and messi unfortunately have to go through the worst treatment while playing.

 

[SeloBarca]

So missed. Midfield is just not the same without him.

Hopefully Suarez/Halilovic will be able to fill the void he'll leave when he retires.

Who are our future midfielders? Samper, Suarez and Halilovic?

 

[barca7788]

any news on his injury??

 

[dakt]

Yeah, how's don?

 

[Flavia]

He was quiet today. Had some moments, but he's lacking. He can do much better.

 

[Behrox]

The Don was poor some good runs here and there but overall he was the weakest player today

 

[barcanuck]

It's ok he has to assume a different role not having Xavi by his side. Nothing wrong with the Don.

 

[DinhoR10]

He has to adjust to Rakitic who is much more attack minded than xavi, Busquets is also more attacking right now so he's basically doing the tempo thing for the most part.

Not really. Rakitic controls the game in the same amount as does Andres, number of passes per game is a proof of that. They are doing more or less the same thing, Iniesta on the left side, Raki on the right. It`s just that Iniesta likes to run with the ball at his feet more than Raki, so at first look it seems they have different roles.

 

[Irish_Cules]

The game did bypass him at times today. He is just back from injury so maybe he just lacked a bit of sharpness.

 

[Iarwain]

Does anyone have the balls to tell him to stop hogging the fucking ball when there's space to attack from the transition? It seems he is more comfortable when the opponent is deep back behind the ball.

I really liked how he played in the little time he got yesterday

As much as i appreciate Iniesta, he has been ineffectual for some time now and i am surprised nobody ever mentions it. In difficult games i'd perhaps drop him for Masch and play Busquets Masch Raki in midfield.
