Sergio Busquets

[Birdy]

i did not see the game (fucking streams), but what i make od the lineup is that with puyol not ready for 90 minutes and pique absent, it had to be again emergency pair at CB..
I would play mascherano-abidal not mascherano-sergio..

 

[Metaphysical]

looked a thousand times better once he stepped up into pivot.

he can play CB in a pinch, but please Pep, just play him in midfield ffs!

Here is three things every CB MUST have:

1) A body with what he can out-muscle opponents
2) Speed to outpace opponents
3) Legs to outjump opponents

For example, Thiago Silva has all of them. Busquets has none. And I blame Guardiola for this. This is a simple thing to understand but because he didn't, he just cost us a win. Disappointed! Very disappointed!

At fault for both goals as well. Pique needs to come back quickly

Why in hell Busquets jumps like he has 50 pounds on their feet???? why????
He is way higher then Thiago Silva.

 

[Birdy]

Actually Valdez is more responsible.. it was a header that could have been easily saved..
he squeezed that in..

Poor performance!

Poor poor game from Busquets.That 40 million City bid is looking better and better.

So we're judging players now based on two games during which they play out of position?

Give me a break.

Lol whenever I need a laugh I can just come to these forums.

 

[Flavia]

He is not cb. Pep needs to stop playing him there. Asap.

 

[La Furia]

I don't blame Busquets at all.

This one is 100% on Pep.

Think i need to agree with those thinking Pep needs to stop playing him at CB. It's obviously not a position he can play for the same reason we don't stick him up on the wings or up front, he doesn't have the skill set to compete there. The only people who should be playing CB are:

Puyol, Pique, Abidal, Mascherano and members of the B team.

Busquets has also shown he isn't strong in the air, which is why i think instead of placing him in the centre of the box on set pieces he may be better suited to being the man closest to the ball when our opponents are taking corners. He would then hopefully be tall enough to deal with any poor or low corners that are knocked into our area that don't clear the first man.

 

[mejji^]

this one goes 100% to pep

i would always rather play with a 2nd string CB then with a 1st team midfielder defending

if it wasnt pep i would be pissed

 

[coolasif]

with no news clue about piques recovery, we will be forced to watch mash-busi comic defending for next matches.
