Lliga: Villarreal - FC Barcelona 0-1

[Sasuke85]

As harsh as it sounds and like it or not Xavi is past it, But hopefully one day he will be a world class manager for FC Barcelona like he was a player.

I concur. Xavi will become a great manager if he wants to

Record Luis Enrique as coach against Villarreal, with Celta: 1W - 1D - 0L #fcblive [via marca]

 

[Flavia]

El Madrigal today:

Xavi is not happy

 

[Barcadub]

So far Villlareal and Levantes pitches are a disgrace.

Barcelona line-up (official): Bravo - Alves Pique Mathieu Alba - Rakitic Busquets Rafinha - Pedro Messi Munir

 

[Antimadridista1]

I really like this eleven. Can't wait to see Rafinha in the midfield + Munir.
Xavi must be disappointed.

 

[Sumlit]

It's a good lineup. Lots of speed and energy.

 

[forcabarca]

Nice line up!

 

[Roberto]

Personally would have liked to see Bartra,Xavi and Neymar.

This is the real chance for Pedro. If he plays well he can be the backup otherwise Munir will stay with the first team. Can we promote Munir to first team if we wanted to?

 

[Messi_Goal]

Should be a brilliant game today, I would start with this team today.


-------------Bravo--------------
--------Piqué-----Mathieu-------
-Alves---------------------Alba-
-----------Busquets-------------
----Rafinha---------Rakitić------
-------------Messi--------------
--Pedro-----------------Neymar--

If Neymar isnt fit enough to play 60mins+ Then Munir starts.

Brilliant team selection Lucho, Its the team I would of started with.

 

[ThwiX]

Only missing Neymar and it would be perfect.

 

[instinct]

Only missing Neymar and it would be perfect.

He'll join in the 2nd half. Good decision not to start him IMO

 

[Icarium]

Personally would have liked to see Bartra,Xavi and Neymar.

Neymar did not play much in pre season. I think it is good that he will come on as a sub. Lucho like Rafinha a lot so not that surprised with it. But i still don't know why he fails to trust Bartra. Tata was also reluctant in doing that. Maybe forces lucho to start him with some connections with the board.
