[gasgas]

Just play 4-3-3

.......pjanic.........pedri
Dumbele...messi....fats

Dembele has lost the ball an awful lot. Besides his pace, he doesn't often anything else. Fati does go quiet an awful lot, but he's only young so he needs time. Griezmann has been very quiet yet again. Then, you're seeing a frustrating Messi forcing things and showing disgust at his teammates when they play a horrible pass.

Unfortunately, we're going to have many games like this. I honestly don't see much difference from the Barcelona of last season to this season. We may be a bit more direct, but we don't have the players with the vision to create chances besides Messi. Yeah, I know we just beat Juventus away...... but, they're not exactly the team they were. They're going through a little rebuild themselves.

RK either is too stupid or doesn?t have balls to bench Busi. The strange obsession that each coach has with him is really frustrating. The tactical decisions for this squad have been incredibly confusing for the past three seasons

He doesn't have balls to bench Messi. Probably nobody does.

 

[putogusiluz8]

So far erratic, disjoint ugly performance. Much worse than El Classico.

Busi needs to go off ASAP, as well as this fucking embarrassing joke of a player called Roberto

I love watching him defend crosses. He puts his hands behind his back and sticks his foot out (mindlessly), and a perfect cross always comes in

 

[Respekt_III]

Busi off and Pedri on.

FDJ as Dm and go 4-3-3. Messi can play as part of midfield 3, advanced.

No he really. Can't

 

[serghei]

Also, we don't have what it takes to control the game with only 2 midfielders. The 4-2-3-1 is failing us big time with the personnel we have. Our current squad is best suited to 4-3-3.

Busi off and Pedri on.

Messi can play only on the bench currently.
4231 and 433 are not for him.

 

[soul24rage]

Take out Griezmann and Busquets for Pedri and Pjanic.

Move Fati upfront with Messi, Pedri move to the left hand side.

 

[Total-Football]

Problem with barca was never defense. Our defense with Rickard and pep was worse and made worse mistakes because we would always outscore opponents. Problem with this barca is the sterile attack. Completely sterile

 

[FC433]

I think we play alright. Nothing outstanding, but just okay. I really really do not like talking about referring, but two unacceptable errors changed the game tonight in just one half. That is a bit too much!

Dembele is still significantly more dangerous and productive than griezmann. There’s no more excuses left for the fortnight moron

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Koeman is dying by Messi's sword . Starting 3 times in a week at this physical state. No wonder he makes Alaves defenders look like Maldini and Nesta in their prime.

True too. Messi is playing too much.

 

[Sorin]

Ok let's say Koeman doesn't have the guts to bench Messi(already showing weakness) but why is he afraid to bench Busquets? Does he have the same standing as Messi? Lmao no. Koeman is just awful.

The dude is clearly not fit to manage this team. Not now, not in the future, not ever. The only good thing he has done is trusting Pedri, that's it.

Yeah I'm little bit worried that lately his dribbling has only been kick and run, when he used to be more agile than that in the past. :/

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

Dembele and Messi in this order the best so far.

Nah, Lenglet is the only one doing his job well.
