Lliga: Valencia - FC Barcelona 0-1

[Alarcón]

Spain is in nothern hemisphere, and isn't in Summer CET (UTC+02:00) now, but in regular CET time (UTC+01:00), isn't it? My timezone is UTC-03:00, so I guess 21:00 there means 21 -4 = 17:00 here, right?

Yes.

The match is in one hour. Let's keep it simple.

Going to be so exciting to watch! Do you guys think it is a 3-4-3 with Alves/Alba wing-backs or a 4-3-3 with Busquets in the 'Xavi-role'?

 

[Barcilliant]

Link anyone?

 

[NotInHere]

LOL, Masch+Busi

Busquets is a statue out there though, I wonder how his workrate as a midfielder will look like

 

[instinct]

Hopefully not a Sociedad flashback

But back then we had instead of Monstermasche.

 

[Devils]

Not surei f I'm the biggest fan of that line-up, I would much rather see Rakitic in there over two DMs.

 

[barcanuck]

This is the lineup we should of started vs Real. Excited to see the outcome!!

Ah, then it confirms what I was thinking. This means I won't lose the beginnning as I did sometimes before. Thanks.

Isn't Iniesta fit? Or it's risky to start him in this tough match after just recovering from injury? TBH, I'm not very smart regarding soccer tactics...

 

[Flavia]

Link anyone?

Yet 50 min to start.

I'd rather Rakitic started instead of Xavi or Busi. I'm not too sure about a double pivot, or Busquets as cm. Especially trying it for the 1st time away to Valencia... But hopefully it'll work.

 

[instinct]

I'm excited. Maybe this formation could be the answer to all our problems.

Maybe Masche will play in Raki's role and Busi will be the lone-pivot. I want the team sheet!

 

[Iarwain]

Why Xavi + double pivot? Why not Rakitić in advanced midfielder role with two DMs behind?

 

[Toecrusher]

Could be a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-3...

 

[Antimadridista1]

I think it's a 4 2 3 1 :

-------------- Bravo -------------
Alves - Pique - Mathieu - Alba
------ Busquets - Masche -------
-------Messi - Xavi - Ney ------
------------- Suarez --------------
