my only problem with the lineup is no bartra, atleti is known for scoring shitloads of headers and he goes and puts mache in there, when we actually need masche's steel in midfield
Lucho not experimenting means he is getting the sack soon. He does not care anymore. I can feel it, no matter the result he will be sacked. Well Damn!! how bad can the situation can be? I hope i am overreacting, positive side would be he learnt the lesson.
Let's be honest though, irrespective of lineups, Lucho's Barca is a pretty god awful team to watch. So though I wanted certain changes, we all know this match is going to boil down to individual brilliance of front 3 (mainly Messi) vs a bus. It's really the only equation to look for in our games this season, sadly.
Atleti players are thugs , it will be easy for them to force Bartra away from the ball. Masche is more physical player, better against Atletico. The height problem is there , but there's no right solution in this case.
Well I thought for sure Masche and Busi would both play in midfield.
Barca are going to need season games from Iniesta, Busquets and Rakitic to pull this one. Cannot rely on the front 3 without giving them necessary support. Not against a complete team like Atletico.
Griezmann, Koke and Arda are going to cause all kinds of troubles.
