Competition: League - Jornada 2
Referee: Velasco Carballo


First really tough fixture. Pique will be back for this game, Masch is suspended. I hope Neymar will be fit for this.

Villarreal won their 1st lliga game, away against Levante, 0-2.

Vellasco Carballo was the ref in the brazil - colombia match in the wc.

Neymessi time!

The Dos Santos brothers to score on us........

This is tough.We need perfection in all areas for a comfortable victory.

Tough early test, this will be a reality check. I'm sure Pique will start, I hope he shows well. Neymar can move some now, but he's not yet training with the team, so he may need one more game off. Rafinha showed some flashes last week, but as a forward, I don't think he has shown he should play when real forwards are available.

Bravo
Alves Pique Mathieu Alba
Busquets
Rakitic Iniesta
Pedro Messi Munir

Neymar will be okay.

As long As Munir plays , I have faith in Barca

1st real test for Lucho

Neymar will be fit. The most interesting question is wether Pedro or Munir will play. I'd go with this line-up:

Bravo, Alves, Bartra, Mathieu, Busi, Raki, Iniesta, Munir, Messi, Neymar

Probably gonna be Munir. Lucho seems to select lineups based on form rather than past achievements. Of course, if Tata were in charge, it'd be Pedro.

Based on pre-season and the match vs Elche I'd pick Munir over Rafinha.

 

[SocalBarcaFan]

Munir has to start! Please! His confidence has to be sky high right now. And what kind of message would Lucho be sending to the players if he is benched for pedro who is out of form or Rafinha who wasn't at his best last game and is playing out of position.

 

[KingMessi]

Neymar-Messi-Munir.

He'd be sending out a Tata message who benched in form Pedro & Alexis for injured Neymar.
