Valverde found his balls.

 

[xXKonan]

Valverde is going to go for the pressing as we did against Napoli then.

Can't really do that with Rakitic/Busi in the Midfield.

BBZ already composing two A4 pages about the midfield in case we drop points tonight.

 

[te amo barca]

Can't believe what we are seeing. But all it takes is a loss/a draw today for EV to revert to Busi-Rakitic. So don't be too optimistic.

 

[mc_lovin]

He doesnt need to write anything. Just copy and paste.

BBZ already composing two A4 pages about the midfield in case we drop points tonight.

The Rakitic-Busi-Vidal lineup away at Bilbao in the 0-0 draw last season was arguably the worst midfield performance bar Liverpool away so not much can be said.

 

[Barcaman]

That midfield should have energy, I like it.

 

[serghei]

This better works or else Busi and Raki are back as soon as next game and they're never leaving.

Barça's official lineup vs Athletic

MAtS
Semedo Pique Lenglet Alba
Roberto DEJONG Alena
Dembele Suarez GRIEZMANN

Bench: Peña, Umtiti, JUNIOR Firpo , Rafinha, Rakitic, Busquets, Carles Pérez

Now we must not lose, otherwise everything will return.

 

[Laplacian]

I'm skeptical on S.Roberto, would rather have Arthur but this is a good start! Let's goooo

 

[AjaxAmsterdam]

Its a win-win for Valverde , either Barca win and he looks like he is rejuvinating Barca or they lose and he go back to familiar faces.

 

[Barcaman]

Well, yeah, it's another thing to start both Roberto and Alena who probably never played together in midfield and do that at San Mames.

We'll see.

 

[Ernesto GOATverde Tejedor]

Rumour has it Raki and Busi will play a lot less this season. Valverde wants to keep them both fresh for the CL knockout games in April/ March.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Don't worry. He's just doing fake damage control and Bus/Rak will be back after the first instance we don't get a positive result with the new guys.
