Marc Bartra

[Rival]

I am not jumping the gun or anything; but he looked really poor out there today. He has to improve, I have faith in him, but today was not his day.

 

[Cule4life]

To test his mettle he should first play against weaker opposition get some playing time and confidence. To throw him against wolves and then judge him wont do him any justice

 

[ebieymjunior]

It was also the first match of the preseason, which is actually the match with which they have to regain their stamina (matches like against Gdank ...). Give him time.

 

[ShandyFFM]

Not barca material way to hasty and his passing to the front line is judt awful. Although his body is too weak and his pace is just like piques or maschs not enough.

 

[abual3bed1]

He is still using his hands way too much in order to stop his man. And his passing was horrible, even for a 1st game of pre season.

 

[evilhita666]

He was horrendous today... Surely, he needs time and confidence, I just hope he finds those fast!

 

[Meitux]

Doesn't seem to be the next big thing for our defence...

 

[ZenI]

Oh boy oh boy, looks like we need 2 CBs for this season. We should stop looking at David Luizes and Thiago Silvas and do some quality scouting and find some hidden gems for 1/3 of the price. Also, give Bartra 1 or 2 more chances and if he can't cut it than stop f*cking around and just sell him instead of loaning him out for 4 seasons and than just let him go for free - even if we just get 2-3 millions for him.

 

[ebieymjunior]

We'll have to wait and see. The next game will be revealing. I like Sergi Gomez as CB but it seems I'm the only one.

Anyway, imagine this defence for 2014-2015:
CBs:
Bartra
Santiago Vergini/Matheus Dória
Tiago Casasola
Sergi Gómez
Edgar Ié
Frank Bagnack *B

Fullbacks:
Martín Montoya
Alba
Grimaldo/Planas
Adriano
Elohor Godswill *B

Who'd you like to see then?

 

[Jadentheman]

Santiago Vergini, Matheus Dória, and Tiago Casasola with Bartra possibly being sold if he doesn't wise up

 

[yeswecan]

Fontas, Bartra, Muniesa, Sergi Gomez, .... it's funny they couldn't produce a single quality defender out of this generation of Masia after all.

Yes, a bummer. But in general there's very few quality CBs these days.

And ironically Brazil is the one pumping out the most CB talent

 

[Indignado]

It's funny that everyone calls him shit after a pre-season game against the best team in the world that already played several matches in the last few weeks. There were moments this season where he played just as bad but against much worse opponents than Bayern.

If we have this little faith in players who don't immediately show their talent we're gonna end up selling everyone.

This. Just have patience.
