Neither Xavi, Cesc nor Iniesta did any defensive work at all to be fair. I have never seen a top class team whose midfield does so little defensive work. This is a lot worse than our makeshift defense.

yeah, its hard to blame the guys in the back when they are left alone to defend four players with only four or five players.

hard to blame busquets.

It just makes us realize how good we had it with Pique Puyol Abidal at the back covering for lack of defensive work.

The lack of defensive work is rather new, in our glory days both Xavi and Iniesta worked their asses off, but yesterday they were traffic cones along with Cesc, and add to that the we play without a RB... Busi was a victim of this and ended up having to cover the whole midfield by himself and having a poor match because of that...

no, we didn't give the ball up as easily in those prime days, we took much better care of it and our midfielders defended better.

Better defense, midfielders feel more comfortable defending. But yeah we were way quicker, one touch passing was always on. Now everyone drags with the ball for a few seconds then makes slow passes sideways. Busi himself has suffered with not being able to do his one touch magic.

That was quite touching... Fortunately, he was able to honor Tito with that beautiful lob to Cesc that resulted in Messi's goal...
