Sergio Busquets

[Vars]

How do you know? Imo if he's fit, I think he'll start.

[Gasgas]

He shouldn't start.
He is not match fit and will likely be slower than usual

 

[linetty]

Yes, and Theo Walcott instead of Suárez

So true

 

[KingMessi]

Yes, and Theo Walcott instead of Suárez

Tello in for Neymar as well.

 

[Zangash]

If he's fit it would be stupid not to. At no point has his speed ever been something we relied on so that is completely irrelevant. Playing Mascherano over him would be beyond stupid. Crucial player.

 

[Barcaman]

Yeah playing best dm in the world would be stupid.

Even if you don't acknowledge what World beyond Barca thinks you should respect Mascherano a bit more.

I personally prefer sergio in there but masch is the best classic dm in the world. It's not like we are playing some crap player there.

 

[Barcaman]

You'd think we're down to Samper or Gumbau judging by some comments.

 

[KingMessi]

There is no point in rushing him back and risk aggravating the injury. We need Busi fit for the remainder of the season. Ultimately, Lucho and the physio team will make the decision.

Mascherano is not a DM anymore, people need to understand that once for all, even for argentina he plays more like a third DC (WC 2014).

Right now Mascherano is one of the best DC in the world, moving him to the DM position and play Mathieu is just ridiculous.

+1

I feel like he is just becoming fit but definitely not fit to start a clasico.

And Lucho will start him

Also wish VDB didn't call him up. Even if he plays the clasico, he should spend the week resting. Not playing friendlies.

 

[Alik]

Hopefully we play the same lineup as against City.

There will be plenty of tough games ahead still, no need to rush Busquets back.

 

[linetty]

Of course. There's no need to take the risk, Masch can do the job. I'd not want to lose Busquets for a longer period.

A win against Madrid would be fantastic. But at the end of the day, we might be happy with a draw.

I'll never be happy with a draw, especially against them.
