Copa | Quarter Final: FC Barcelona - Sevilla 6-3 agg.

[Gari]

Wow! Prince Boateng and Malcom , Suárez and Coutinho both rested!

 

[FCBfan22]

Wow, that lineup...

Boateng straight in.

 

[shadows]

Coutinho benched again

Think he is rested as well since he started like the last 4-5 games..

 

[clemente]

But why bench Coutinho tho, he had that crazy solo goal against Sevilla at Liverpool, also he was the main guy in 5-0 trashing last season

Played 4 in a row I think. With Dembele out he is our main LW for the next 2 weeks or so, hence he needed this rest.

 

[mesiesta]

Line-up looks very weak on the paper to me. But respect Valverde for resting our key players (especially Alba)

 

[5ergio_Busquets]

Roberto at LB against Sevilla's Jesus Navas at the Pizjuan doesn't seem like a good idea. Vermaelen would have been the better choice, at least he can defend.

 

[Devils]

He rested Messi, Saurez, Busi and Alba.

And gave starts to Alena, Malcom and Prince.

I almost cannot believe this is EV making the decision. Goes against pretty much everything we've seen of the guy for nearly the past 2 years.

 

[DonAK]

Don't worry, Prince got this.

Exactly. We're not going to win this game. It's weak lineup.

 

[Andresito]

That front three feels really weak tbh.

 

[messi2140]

Love this lineup.

 

[Devils]

We're going to destroy these bums ffs.

 

[Joan]

What the actual fuck? What did they do with Valverde?

Btw., Prince first leaves Messi home and now benches the untouchable Suarez. AND he hasn't played a single minute yet.

 

[PhilS]

OK, we know that Rakitic plays between the CBs when Busquets does not play. So, this will be a 3-5-2 sort of configuration. Maybe Barca will not score, but they might be able to stop Sevilla from ever advancing the ball past midfield.
