Sergio Busquets

[mark1nhu]

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

This.

Hate them so much, want 5x0 in all matches.

 

[Hamzah]

A draw is no use. We have tougher games than they do.

 

[Batman]

he just missed few weeks games, so if he is fit then start with him. I would worry if he missed few months.

"Luis Enrique: Busquets is certainly an option. He's obviously not 100%, but he's been training normally with the group the past few days."

 

[Hamzah]

Btw by classic dm I mean guy that hunts the ball and makes tackles. I prefer sergio though because he is smarter and better positionally and with decision making. Also better with the ball as I've already mentioned.

If sergio is fit enough then play him.

"Sergio Busquets was back in first-team training for Barcelona's last session ahead of Real Madrid's visit to the Camp Nou this Sunday (21:00).

The Barça midfielder, who picked up an ankle injury when he clashed with Villarreal's Tomás Pina, trained normally alongside the rest of his teammates just 24 hours before 'el Clásico'."

Looks ready.


I still think Masche should start.

 

[Zangash]

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.

Mascherano, the best dm in the world? Listen to yourself. He's not even the best dm at Barca.

The world outside of Barca thinks Busquets is nothing but a diver so who cares what they think?

 

[DrPepper]

I hope Busquets won't be fit for the Clasico... Because if he is then that means Mascherano moves back to CB and he's been exposed there countless of times in big matches, especially in Clasicos. Rather have Mathieu there.

+1

Sorry but there a few players better than Mascherano (and maybe even Busquets). Javi Martinez, Matic, Lahm for example.

 

[Hamzah]

Javi Martinez? Does he play there for pep anymore? I think sergio and masch are better anyway.

the other two are good. Matic and masch are similar and sergio and lahm are similar. I think they make up the top 4dms in the world. The order is personal opinion.

 

[Cule Finn]

I think he will start as he should. I dont think a midfield of Masche-Rakitic-Iniesta can control the game against a team like Madrid. Masche is propably on par or even better than Busi in defending, but when it comes to passing and moving the ball he is nowhere near Sergio's level. Also keep in mind that while Rakitic is excellent at what he does - working a lot and making runs from deep - his playmaking skills are limited too.

 

[valk]

Matic is the best DM by a fair margin. he's a rock

He's good but he's not "the best dm in the world by a fair margin". He hasn't proven himself against the very best teams in the world unlike the others.

Remember he plays in a chelsea team controlled by Mou that defends deep and in numbers, the others play in attacking teams with high lines.

Matic is great but he's massively overrated as many players tend to be these days. The whole Chelsea team is overrated and it's been proven by PSG.

But why do we need to control the game? It's Real that have to come at us.

Although Busquets is better than Mascherano, the latter has to play in CDM. It's not as if we completely lose control then.

Matic is not overrated, and definitely not "massively". Once he was taken off, PSG took even more control of the game and scored 2 goals btw.

Exactly, did we control the game against City? No, and yet we could have scored 7 goals against them.

I always feel safer with Mascherano starting at DM, Busi has many good qualities, but I don't trust him at defending in big games, he seems too slow sometimes, not to mention his tendency to be overconfident with a ball.
