Marc Bartra

[DonAndres]

He had a very solid game. I think he can be a very reliable player for us this season. Considering the shit stain that is our defense, we would have nothing to lose and everything to gain by consistently starting Bartra if he continues in this form. Not just alongside Pique though, Bartra-Puyol or Bartra-Masch can function as a CB pairing for a fair amount of games.

He had a few defensive mistakes that could have cost the team on a less fortunate day. However, he was very solid and had very good offensive projection. He showed promise and only needs more experience to nurture it.

Pique does that every game

Pique does that every game

So true He makes even more than Bartra in fact.
Also dont foregt winger cum wingback aka Alves

 

[Indignado]

Not sure if trolling or...

Don't bother, he's just afraid Piqué will lose his starting spot

Guys, we all know he will never succeed for any big team, let alone us.

Well he might succed someday but he needs years and years at a top level which Barcelona shouldn't grant him.

Imo he doesn't have what it takes to get to a world class defender at least not for some years to come...

I'll say it again, I hope he proves me wrong but I didn't see that so far.

Against Almeria ( a very weak opponent compared to the top teams ) he showed quite a few good interventions but he also made a few huge errors that could cost the team alot...

He made a few errors but he seemed to improve and increase in confident as the game progressed. In fact by the end he seemed fairly assured and not out of place.

 

[Galning]

Of course he made mistakes it was his first start in god knows how long. Add to that that he's only 22. Plus, you do realise he will make more mistakes in the future right? Logically the more he plays the better and more comfortable he'll become. He did better than Piqué today without a doubt.

 

[KhaledBarca]

Bartra is ready to play against most LIGA teams, he deserves more playing time. Tata should rotate more Pique/Bartra and Masche/Puyol!

Imo he doesn't have what it takes to get to a world class defender at least not for some years to come...

He fared better than Pique, who, judging by his recurring appearence in the FIFA world XI, is considered a world-class defender.

 

[Barcaman]

After scoring in midweek Bartra got himself a starting place and played quite well. Such a confidence booster for the youngster.
Can't wait to see him vs. Celts next week.

 

[Aryagorn]

Bartra has all that Pique has and more... so please, enough with the 'he can't make it at a big club' nonsense, as Pique could, so can he!!

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Yeah, I'm happy for him. I knew he could do well, just needed to not be thrown in the deep end which ruined him last season.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Outperformed Pique. Looked sharp but needs to get rid of the ball a little quicker. More decisive.

 

[Meitux]

Should definitely get time in easy games but i wouldn't get overracted, he needs time. And he needs to have a full season to see if he's capable of playing well. At the moment with Mascherano injured he finds chances but won't get the desired and needed time he wants after.
