Lliga | Round 31: FC Barcelona - Leganes CD 3-1

[Joan]

Bob playing LB by the looks of it.

Maybe it's Gomes.

 

[Devils]

When it comes to Messi, he did have two weeks off during the international beak.

Maybe it's more of an issue of getting him back to fitness. No idea about Pique though.

 

[viper76]

If Messi himself or the medical team thought he wasn't fit to play he wouldn't, simple as. Messi especially wouldn't be playing with an injury with the world cup around the corner.

What medical team dont make my laugh .

 

[Cruyff-Total Football]

Why Piqué plays and Umtiti is rested?

Might be because the recent horrendous performances of Umtiti are because of tiredness. Also, you can combine Vermaelen with Pique since he's excellent in game reading and positioning and would cover Vermaelen if he makes mistake because of playing after long time.

i dont believe it someone pinch me

What medical team dont make my laugh .

barca have one of the best medical teams of all top clubs

All other CL teams (save real madrid) are rotating and Valverde comes up with this lineup, resting Iniesta.

Beyond words.

All other CL teams have a good bench.

We have a bench, not giving them any minutes will not make them better.

So I guess Mina was bought just to sell a few jerseys in Colombia.

Please, don't be ridiculous. Our worst bench player is better than Leganes' best player. Valverde doesn't believe in the importance of rotations too much. He even said he likes a small squad.

The guys who didn't make the squad for us are Colombia's starting CB and an ex-starter for Sevilla like Aleix Vidal. Both would instantly become Leganes' best players.

Aleix Vidal, Denis, Gomes and Paulinho wouldn't even be in the bench for clubs like Real or Bayern.

 

[serghei]

We're not playing Madrid or Bayern.

 

[tacticvarium]

I thought Messi would be rested since he still has some discomfort.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Aleix Vidal, Denis, Gomes and Paulinho wouldn't even be in the bench for clubs like Real or Bayern.

So? You prefer that he drives the starters into ground, with the possible danger of injuries and fatigue, risking major trophies?

Again, why did we even buy Mina? When are we going to even play him? Demoting him to the B team?

 

[Stoichkov1]

We're not playing Madrid or Bayern.

I mean that at Madrid or Bayern these players wouldn't even be even in the bench.

Real Madrid has Ceballos and Kovacic, we have Denis and Gomes.
