Damn. Lunch/family time

Damn. Lunch/family time

Yesterday, I had a family dinner and my son kept pestering me to turn on tv because Barca was playing. Had to give in eventually.

You got to set your priorities straight or do more Barca brainwashing to your family

 

[Birdy]

Rotation please!

Roberto-Eric-Alonso-Alba
--------Busi/FD-
---Kessie----Pablo Torre
Raphinia--Ansu--that Masia kid

That XI is a guaranteed loss of points. This ain't no third division side.

At least start them, and bring good subs late in the 2nd half

Players need some rest
We have long season and many games ahead to not rotate

 

[Andresito]

Christensen played 45 mins or less against Getafe and Betis.
Araujo rested aganst Ceuta and Getafe.
Kounde rested against Ceuta.

Pedri rested against Ceuta.
Frenkie against Getafe and Ceuta

Dembele vs Ceuta
Lewy playing every other game.


Would argue we could rest one of Christensen, Araujo or Kounde. Preferably Kounde and maybe subbing another if we're leading.
In midfield Frenkie should start with 2 others, maybe rest Gavi. If Busi is to play the tougher games ahead he could rest too.

Lewy is out so we need our second best attacker in Dembele, the others haven't played enough to be fatigued. Would be good to be cautious with Dembele though.

Something like:
Roberto, Araujo, Christensen, Alba
Kessie, Frenkie, Pedri
Raphinha, Ansu, Dembele

Totally disagree

It's the easiest game in a series that continues with Betis, Sevilla, Villareal, UTD and a cup SF in between

The day to rest people is tomorrow

 

[DonAK]

Should rotate some players but cannot change out almost the entire Starting XI.

Girona is not going to be an easy game.

 

[serghei]

Potential banana peel this one.

 

[Porque]

Strongest lineup. 60 minutes against 10 men In a fairly controlled midweek game.

Early kickoff before Wednesdays late kickoff. Plenty of recovery time, especially if we can put this one to bed early.

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Will be disappointed with anything less than a full decade of rosary (10 hail marys) and rhino at CF with chihuahua barking around him.

2-0 win!

 

[Kul_z]

Get 3 points, no matter how ugly
