Can't ever recall us being in a situation like this.

Just once I want to see a midfield of

de Jong
Arthur - Vidal

ter Stegen
Semedo - Umtiti - Lenglet - Alba
de Jong
Arthur - Vidal
Messi - Griezmann - Ansu​

It seems like we're never seeing this line-up which is imo the best we could field atm.

 

[Devils]

A loss today would mean the end of la liga.

I like this a lot. Hope we get it but seems hard to drop busi from DM. He isn't doing bad lately but will hinder Fdj and will prove a liability against strong teams.

Some rotations. Roberto as RW again. Semedo seems to have the edge as RB. No Arthur still, but Vidal is back. No Rakitic. No Alba.

 

[Devils]

shieeeettttt

Not the best game for rotations, dawg.

 

[soul24rage]

So it's going to be

MATS---Semedo, Umiti, Lenglet, Junior---DJ, Busi, Vidal---Bob, Messi, Griezmann.

Should have started Fati instead of Bob imo

 

[xXKonan]

Guessing Seiten is being extra careful with the front line rotations.

 

[DonAK]

Roberto again.....

 

[serghei]

shieeeettttt

We have no choice sadly. Or else we're gonna burn out.

Roberto again.....

Played a solid game vs Bilbao imo.

 

[serghei]

Also, people need to understand that with the squad so trimmed out, we need to count on everybody, and I mean everybody. Roberto, Rakitic, these guys are suddenly very valuable thanks to the circumstances we find ourselves in.

 

[Raketa10]

Some rotations. Roberto as RW again. Semedo seems to have the edge as RB. No Arthur still, but Vidal is back. No Rakitic. No Alba.

I suppose we'll try with 4-4-2.

 

[serghei]

I suppose we'll try with 4-4-2.

Nah, 4-3-3 on paper. Roberto right winger. There is no 4-4-2 for us except in defensive transition at times. Fullbacks push up, so it's a 2-5-3 basically in build-up, or a 3-4-3 when Busi drops between the CBs in buildup.
