Is there a Busquets vs Uruguay Highlights somewhere ?

 

[Alissa]

God, he's amazing!!!

He is amazing in a system where he has at least 3 players who can defend. Pique, Ramos and Arbeloa combine to be very good when the opposition get by Busi. Similarly at barca Busi was on fire when Pique, Puyol and Abidal were all back there to back him up. Just my observations

 

[ShandyFFM]

You might be right with this. Although i think its not a good idea to play with two defenders who are playing like attackers. Imo we should only start with Alves or with Alba but not with both especially in big games. We need at least three defenders who have some strength and are good at heading so Busquets can play more the dmf role inestead of going into the Central Defender position where he cant start the actual game.

He's been one of our better players this season (arguably our 3rd best after Messi and Iniesta, in fact) too, despite his poor form towards the end. Which was probably due to his injury (which he's apparently had since January). I also think he's better with 3 players who can defend though.

I think it's time to make Montoya the starting RB.

Busquets scored yesterday against Italy the first penalty in his career.

 

[Flavia]

His hands were shaking so much when he put the ball on the penalty spot, I thought he'd miss it.

 

[barcanuck]

Cool as ice this guy. His penalty was very clinical.

He missed his first penalty, against Milan, maybe his hands were shaking because of this. He thought he's going to miss it again.

He did very good, though.
