Yeah that sounds like a good idea.
That really makes the card he received for arguing yesterday stand out as incredibly silly. Yeah, he really needs to stop that.

In Lucho we trust!
Lucho getting into the groove now and it is starting to look like his team. A team with direction and purpose. Furthermore it would appear that he has managed get the players to understand that he is the boss, not Messi, Xavi or Pique. He is also starting to get the best out of them all now (except perhaps Iniesta).

Rakitic should probably play the next match.
A player from the first 11 shouldn't be benched for 2 matches in a row. (Imagine benching Neymar for 2 matches in a row.)
So, it should be either Rakitic-Rafinha, Rakitic-Iniesta or Rakitic-Xavi in the next match.
Anyway, our fixtures are now:
1. Home Levante, 15-02
2. Home Malaga, 21-02
3. Away Man. City, 24-02
4. Away Granada, 28-02
5. Away Villareal, 04-03
6. Home Rayo, 08-03
7. Away Eibar, 14-03
8. Home Man. City, 18-03
9. Home Real, 22-03
-- now, Lucho should do some maths
-- for example, we play at home with Levante, and then we have 6 days without matches
= so no need for 3-4-5 rotations (like when we were going to Christmas break or before international break)
-- Levante is poor, but we don't have matches for 6 days, so no need to play too many new players
-- again, if Rakitic was rested yesterday, there is no reason to rest him again, he will have 14 days without full matches then
-- also, if Busi was rested, he needs to play now, because again, he will have 14 days without matches then
-- in the 3rd match, against City, we will play with our first 11, so, in a match against Malaga at home, we can rotate 1-2 players, but not Msn trio and not more than 1 midfielder, because Malaga isn't a weak opponent
-- in the 4th match, against Granada away, we can make 2-3 rotations, but again, never TOO MUCH, we need 3 points in all matches
Anyway, my point is that we shouldn't rotate too many players against Levante, because we have 6 days of break after that.
Pedro for Ney, maybe Bartra for Pique, and either Busi-Rakitic-Iniesta or Busi-Rakitic-Rafinha, because Busi and Rakitic didn't play yesterday.

I don't think we shall see as many rotations after the Man City game. He rested players at the start of the season to keep some petrol in the tank for the final stages. I would hope that he knows that it is important for your best eleven to get a rhythm going if you are going to win the big games.

Why not be gets fouled brutally handful of times a game and they ignore it. He isn't as bad as Cesc was arguing about throw ins.

Messi will play every game me thinks, but then again he doesn't have to run after 60 minutes of game, thats why he can play every game and Neymar/Suarez can't. They push themselves more without the ball...
Other then that, I'm glad Lucho finally took critics and fixed the problems we have. We are looking simply awesome!

He covers about 2km less than every one else so in a way he gets a game off every 4-5 games
I think he should come off after 60 minutes this weekend though.

I'd rather he skips some games and gives 100% in the difficult ones. I hope we'll see the amazing version of Messi against City.

I would do this vs Levante
---------------------Bravo------------------
---Alves-----Masch----Bartra------Adriano---
---------------------Busi--------------------
------------Rakitic-------Rafinha-----------
Messi-------------Suarez--------------Pedro
Alves, Rakitic off if/when winning comfortably.
Then this vs Malaga.
---------------------Bravo------------------
---Montoya----Pique----Bartra----Alba---
---------------------Busi--------------------
--------------Xavi--------Iniesta------------
Pedro-------------Messi--------------Neymar
Iniesta, Neymar, Messi off if/when winning comfortably
Think that provides a strong line up for both games whilst still resting all of our starting 11 for the City game at some point across the 2 games.
