Jordi Alba

Can start PSG game if needed ? Pardon me if it seems a stupid question

 

[desoe]

Okay, let's get serious now. Who the f*ck is going to play a LB against PSG?

 

[Garrus]

Montoya is the only possible option left

 

[darthvader7888]

If Alba doesn't make it, then it's gonna have to be Montoya.

 

[spark]

And Xavi might still play against France. Hopefully common sense prevails.

 

[Richard.H]

Damn this is bad... That means Montoya, who probably doesn't have a good morale right now, will get a chance.

 

[desoe]

If Montoya really plays as a LB, which is not even his usual position, be sure that Ancelotti will aim him like he's the border patrol in Machete - shoot to kill.

 

[Stric]

Terrible, terrible news. We cannot afford to lose Alba. Especially not while Adriano and Puyol are out. Abidal will most definitely not play, especially not in the Champions League. Although it seems bad at the moment, I really hope it's nothing serious and that he'll be fine. Is this his first injury since he came to Barcelona?

@barcastuff

Alba could have a muscle tear. More tests tomorrow. Out for France game, doubtful for PSG game in ten days. #fcblive [catalunya radio]
If new tests tomorrow confirm the thigh muscle tear, Jordi Alba will return to Barcelona #fcblive #brazil2014 [rac1]

I really hate international breaks.

Damn it. And with Adriano out as well, Montoya to play as lb... sigh.

 

[darthvader7888]

How good is Montoya at LB?

 

[Eetu]

Hoping it's not a tear.

Well, it's been his usual position lately (not counting bench nor stands).

Now that I think about it, a 3-2-2-3 would be ideal against PSG. Play with 2 DM's in Song and Busquets. Put Mascherano, Puyol, and Pique at the back. I think we'll still be okay but I wouldn't feel confident in Montoya starting.

Puyol is in recovery. He will not play for the next 6 weeks at least.

I think his last game (or maybe last 2?) was at LB. But by all means, it's not his usual position. It's where he plays when there's no one else to play LB. He's significantly better on the right.

Craaaaaaaaaaaaap! Ugh, Tito better do some Pep-like experiments with the lineup against Celta to see who would be a good fit at LB...
