Lliga | Round 01: FC Barcelona - Deportivo Alavés S.A.D 3-0

Lol at Messi playing RW, it's not 2015 anymore and he will just go to the centre as usual

 

[Dida]

Stream for the game please?

 

[mia7007]

Why Rakitic? He needs some rest after WC and short holiday
Why not to give confidence to Arthur in an easy match
And why not to have someone like Puig on the bench in case of big win first half to have his chance instead of having useless Rafinha

No Munir or Paco on the bench. Says alot.

Well, if you put Messi on the right, then make him stay predominantly on the right. Or else bye bye combinations on that side. We're gonna see a massive big hole there up front.

Valverde, if he wanted to play Roberto, could have used Messi as no9, then Dembele on the right and Coutinho on the left. But I think he's afraid Suarez might bite him if he gets benched.

Let’s see how this goes.. and how creative Roberto and Rakitic can be.

Arthur is a better midfielder than Roberto already ffs.

Yeah, right. Keep hyping Arthur while the one's with actual knowledge keep it real as evidenced by the starting line-up. But yeah, I know, all a huge conspiracy. It's a shame that Sergi keeps being so ridiculously underrated by so-called Culés even though he's has more Barcelona-DNA virtually anybody and always delivered when called upon while progressing every year. Let's play Arthur instead because he's young, new and played solid during the preseason. Yay.

For what it's worth, Arthur wasn't even better than Sergi during the preseason. Or Rafinha, for that matter. But I get it, Arthur is new so your eyes were on him and now you'll demand him every game until he actually plays some and not everything is as good as in your fantasy. Sucks for Arthur, too. Expectations are already ridiculous.

What is it with you and conspiracies? Who said anything about this being a conspiracy?

Arthur is a better midfielder than Roberto, who has been more a right back than a midfielder in the last 2-3 seasons btw.

 

[Chris242]

Arthur doesn't even have the stamina to play a full match. In the gamper and other friendlies he looked to be struggling

 

[FCBfan22]

Messi RW again. I want to slap Valverde.
