Back to our level again, hoping we don't get smashed.
We should try to avoid busi for a game or too and try something different.

 

[Andresito]

What I hope:

ter Stegen
Mingueza, Araujo, Eric, Balde
Frenkie, Nico, Gavi/Riqui
Demir, Memphis, Coutinho



What I think we'll see:
ter Stegen
Mingueza, Araujo, Pique, Roberto
Frenkie, Busi, Coutinho
Demir, Luuk, Memphis


Then again it's Granada, so Busquets will probably be fine.

Agreed. Although, even if busi is fine against Granada, he shouldn't play. For the fans' sanity.

Maybe we will be confident enough to attack.

 

[Porque]

Will be celebrating like Gaspart if we manage a shot on target this match.

Would certify Koeman needs to go for this team to improve.

 

[clemente]

Well if we don't win I think Koeman gets booted, so not sure who I'm rooting for

 

[Zidane82]

Front three of Coutinho , de Jong and Depay ..

Hope he does not put Cout on the right wing !!

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

No more De Jong please

 

[Zidane82]

No more De Jong please

That?s the front three that was trending this morning

 

[serghei]

Somebody should ask him why he didn't play Luuk de Jong as a 9 in his Dutch team when he was manager. Didn't he play Depay there?

He played Babel, Wijnaldum, Bergwijn + Depay up top. Babel from Besiktas btw, not exactly a world beater. Why didn't he play Depay on LW and Luuk up top?

He wasn't good enough for Nederlands, but suddenly he's good enough for Barca?

You act like Koeman was desperate for LDJ and not the reality that Barca due to bad planning were left scrambling around trying to get anyone in they could.

The board ultimately sanctioned it so on them as final say anyway.

Who from them thought he was good enough or allowed to be situation of the two CFs signed were Aguero and LDJ..

 

[serghei]

Nobody forces Koeman to play De Jong. He can play Coutinho - Depay - Demir easily.

 

[behindbrowneyes]

Hard to form a forward line with Memphis, Cou and LdJ. Memphis can move between center and left side. LdJ can only play in the middle and Coutinho on the right was a shitshow. Could use Coutinho in midfield too, but think Roberto will play as he delivered so far when playing there.

So Coutinho - Memphis- Demir should form the forward line. Can use LdJ as a sub and think he'll score quite a few times as joker. More than Braithwaite.
