It is important for Barca to hold clear net, because in this season has received many goal. It is undeniable that Barca has low number of players, and when we add injuries this season is one of the most challenging issue until January.

It is important to maintain the same formula like last season Ter Stegen in ChL and Bravo in La Liga, both of them needs to have a good levels , and on the other hand Vermalen should be able to has some minutes on his legs because we need him for the rest of the season.

Last time we played BATE we won 4-0 with this starting 11:

Pinto - Montoya, Bartra, Fontàs, Maxwell - Thiago, Jonathan dos Santos, Sergi Roberto - Pedro, Rafinha, Cuenca

 

[Barcaman]

Munir or Sandro to score

Really? Wanna bate?

 

[Icarium]

Imagine fielding our reserves now..

Masip -Douglas Bartra Verm Adriano -Gumbau Roberto Camara (ahead of samper obvisouly) - Sandro Munir Dongou

That is some shitty lineup except roberto and verm.

Back when Cuenca was really peaking and the sky was the limit, damn

Cuenca was never that great. Some nice skills but never ever going to be a Barca standard player.

People who thought 'the sky was the limit' for him were deluded.

Agreed. For what my opinion is worth any way, I never thought at any point he was the next big thing and I can't remember anyone being overly excited about him either.

Some people genuinely rated him that highly.

Can remember more than one 'why sign Neymar when we have Cuenca comment' a few years ago!

 

[Topolino]

Cuenca did have some nice crosses in his game iirc

 

[dakt]

If our defence will actually DEFEND, we might win this one easily. It would be also nice to have a midfield. That's a cool feature in football today to have...

Wow, well, each to their own and everyone entitled to their opinion but tbh, he never grabbed me as a future first team regular tbh.

 

[barcafan161]

They did beat Roma so not terrible

Wow, so this definitely means that Gumbau will start together with Douglas. Oh dear.
