Sergio Busquets

Or we can play Barta - Pique in defence. Everything but Mathieu vs Real.

I'd love to see Samper get his chances! Personally, I am not that keen on letting Mascherano playing everytime as a defensive midfielder. He lacks the technique to approach Busquets' performances.

1st choice : - Rakitic 2nd choice : Mascherano/Samper

 

[DrPepper]

He is irreplaceable and will be missed in big matches.

At least Mascherano won't play at CB against City and Madrid since he sucks in big matches.

Yeah, the great Mathieu might play instead

 

[EdmondDantes]

That's really encouraging seeing him walking about without crutches. Let's see what the tests say today, maybe he'll be back soon.

Considering RMA put in a lot of crosses to exploit Mascherano's weakness in the air in recent matches, I feel safer with Mathieu as CB just for that reason.

 

[hardyboy]

He has certainly left us in a fucked up situation right now. Mascharana will take his place in the midfield but what about the defense??Mathieu has been shitting in his pants since he has been back from his injury and i don't trust Bartra for the important games we'd be playing in the next couple of weeks...

I disagree with people who say we play rakitc- xavi and iniesta
That midfielde you are suggesting is even worse than xavi iniesta busquets which we played the last time and goot butchered with.
Mascherano will be just fine and his long passes will be useful to unlock real madrid, look at his assist too suarez, or pass too suarez that led to neymars first goal

Team Stream just pinged on my phone and says he'll be out 4 weeks :/

Agreed. That should be our team against the top sides while Busi is out.

Official: Busquets will miss the match vs Rayo. His comeback will depend on his evolution.

At least they didn't confirm his absence for the Clasico and the match vs City yet.

 

[Ini8]

I just read a tweet that said he'd be out for 4-5 weeks.

Would be a blow but as long as we get through against City and go into the international break post-Classico within a couple of points of Madrid either side then it's all to play for when he comes back.

He is ruled out for the Rayo game but he has not yet been ruled out for the El Clásico game. It's not as bad as feared. His availability will depend on the evolution of the injury.

Great, great news.

 

[Antimadridista1]

I just hope that he'll be back for the clasico.
