Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

[Temptation]

I could live with Messi playing slightly deeper than Lewandowski for two seasons

Pedri and Gavi midfielder .. Dembele on the left , Raphinha on the right


Flat back four .. Kounde and Aroujo plus TWO decent fullbacks ..

Maybe get TAA for the right and Balde at LB

This way would be getting rid if Busquets which will please 95% of you guys

With all due respect and admiration for you as a poster, this sounds way too FIFA ish and not something that'll actually work irl.

For the opposing team

Flat back fours ruled the world not that long ago

What we are doing now does not feel right somehow

Well our current system worked well for a poor Inter side last night reading through all the match comments so I am not sure what your point is tbh

You have to consider the fact that this is Barca. A club known for it's philosophy and "way of playing". Pretty snobbish about it.

The formation you're suggesting used to be good for counter attacking style of play. It's a bit outdated for top teams unless you're manager is a genius who can make it work tactically.

Anyways, the formation isn't the issue. The manager being an incompetent exponent of nepotism is the real reason. The Spanish Ole.

Yes so your solution is to make it even worse

Good idea

Pep has played 442

So has Valverde for an entire season

Formation isn't the issue

It's the players and manager being average

I do not recall seeing YOUR suggestion

Sell the shit players

Buy good ones

Sack the manager and bring back Valverde

Pretty simple

See my edited post.

Pep and Ernie were/are tactical wizards who could dissect games for fun and come up with solutions. Tactical nous is necessary.....

You just blew my suggestion of a back four out of the water despite it dispensing with Busquets !!

Please advise which of the players I suggested are AVERAGE..

I cannot wait to see your response LOL

Again .. go to my suggested line up and name the players you want to discard !

Dembele Rafinha TAA and Balde

Even if Messi provides one season great assists what are we doing next season without him/declined Messi? It would just slow down the rebuilding if Messi comes back.

You need to win shit while rebuilding otherwise we are going to sell even more assets!

Finances do not wait and going for a shitty season again is a catastrophy.

I don't understand why people think rebuilding should take 5 years!! it's at most a season before you start seeing something, otherwise the people managing it are a hoax.

So, you need to mix it, current still good player with new rising stars while keeping an eye on the players you want to bring next.

And mostly you need good coach/s, AND a very good sporting manager.
