That is still one of the far better defenses in La Liga on paper. They will have a much easier life now that our forwards will actually press and help out the defense. Hopefully Garcia can be Pique's successor while we look for a RB and LB.
2 Forwards pressing and "helping out in defence" has nothing to do with conceeding 8 goals. These 4 (and Mats) committed atrocities against Bayern.
Not really. Many of those chances came because 1) our forwards stood in offside while the Bayern players hounded our defenders while those were playing from the back and 2) Bayen could start to construct their attacks without any resistance at all. They started their attacks at the center of the pitch while bypassing Suarez and Messi with simple passes or progressing with the ball, whereas we could not make it out of our own half while the Bayern attackers and midfiedlers were pressing us. Defending is less about individual quality as it is more about defending the right spaces, with right numbers.
Cuatro is not a reliable source.
Exactly. If one compartment doesn't do its job, other compartments are overrun as a result, and collapse under pressure.

Never seen him in such incredible shape. Might want to reconsider letting him go.
