Malcom is dancing left and right, scoring and assisting, making defenders foul him. I swear if Valverde doesn't leave him on for the whole 90 minutes tonight, i'm gonna murder him. After this, here comes a Malcom-Messi sub after 10 minutes of the 2nd half probably. :lol:

Meanwhile Vidal is screwing up every damn pass, and we still won't see him go off and put Alena in. If the latter started tonight, we would have a lot more control in midfield, and thus our defense wouldn't be nearly as exposed as it is with Vidal running around like a headless chicken, kicking the ball far away every time he gets it instead of actually looking for a viable pass.

This is what happens when the Board policy is to abandon Barca principles and choose 30+ year old destroyers instead of trusting home-grown youngsters, who have been playing the Barca way their whole life. :(

Our defense is horrible but midfield isn't hepling either. They aren't doing shit in defense.

Not so much. Villareal is playing long directly on our backline skipping the midfield. We aren't owned in midfield, but we are losing almost every duel in defense individually and Umtiti is a mess with his passing.

I think we can rule out playing two left footed CBs.

Busquets and Arthur are very bad today and umtiti - lenglet are having a nightmare at the back.
Malcom MOTM by far at the moment.

Busquets just doesn't have that defensive presence any longer does he?

To his defense, he's constantly put under pressure by the CBs with really bad passes. Umtiti did it like 3 times. Don't pass to players who are surrounded by 2-3 players, because if the first touch is not absolutely perfect, they will probably lose the ball.
