Night and day watching him in contrast to FDJ and Pedri when he occasionally dropped deep today.

Busquets is great on the ball. Great awareness of surroundings, and quick to pass the ball. Very unique skillset.

But should still be replaced fulltime.

Aye sack Pique correct.

Should have been done last summer and then Alba told wont play again.

Barca the numpties did sack a player... just wrong one and had to pay up.

The 4 box midfield has really made me see something - he can still be great if he has people to cover him and to keep pressure away from him.

This new system limits the area he has to cover or can even move into and he is well suited to that. His good defensive abilities (in isolation) also help when he forms a kind of back 5 with the defense and been a part of our record too.

In Europe, as with the rest of our team, his evaluation is different, because he has to be exposed a lot more on counters, but in LaLiga games he is good.

Question is if we can do this with Busquets, imagine what we can do with a proper replacement.

To be fair we are playing to his strengths and right now, are a better team with him than without. But mainly because we never tried to find a replacement when we had a budget.

The four midfielders and Frenkie to babysit him helps him but he will still have the same weaknesses in Europe and has had for Spain as had for years.

Busquets does not get near a top side in Europe.. yet Barca renew him and plead poverty or some nonsense to justify it.

With him starting in last six it has been.. worst home defeat to Real in 15 years, 0-0 with Girona, 0-0 with Getafe and 0-0 with ten man Osasun until he goes off.

Won two of six with him on the pitch and failed to score in four of them... yet get beat by Rayo with FDJ and Pedri just back from injury and quite clearly not 100% and folk cry about how much need him.

Nothing changes.
