Sergio Busquets

[FCBarca]

Wonder if he is still nursing a niggle or injury because he has not looked up to his usual standards in the early goings

 

[UEFA_Barça_Chris]

when was the last time busquets suffered a continuous dip in form? It's a concern now.

 

[Behrox]

It's worrying man. For us CDM like Busi is I dare say more integral than Messi since we need him to be our linchpin that connects attack and defence

 

[F4THi]

It's not a dip in form. That's exactly him for 3 years apart from some matches counted on two hands' fingers

Garbage except for 10 games out of the last 160.

Another sensible opinion brought to you by barcaforum.

 

[Icarium]

I was surprised he was in the lineup today. Now it is time to try alternatives. I'd say Masch, as soon as Umtiti comes back. Gomes, maybe, worth a shot.

Pleas no. Let him get minutes in the CM not DM. Masch i can behind with.

 

[Flavia]

I'd give Masch a shot. At least for Busi to feel he has some competition.

 

[Hamzah]

I'd do that if he was feeling complacent, but if it is like jamdav said then keep playing him and improve certain things (midfield selection, build up faster etc)

 

[Poor_Sunyol]

I'd give Masch a shot. At least for Busi to feel he has some competition.

I agree. Once Umtiti is back.

 

[gasgas]

I heard Masche doesn't have the skillset to play as a DEFENSIVE midfielder for us
Gomes can't defend as a pivot
So we're stuck with him

 

[FCBarca]

I don't ever want to see Mascherano play as a DM for us again

 

[Bardh]

Busquets broke his finger away to Eibar last season and ever since he hasn't been able to find the rhythm nor the confidence to do his job well. Someone wrote he's missing Iniesta. May probably be it.

 

[Messi983]

To be fair, now I'm a bit worried about him but I still believe he'll be back to his best in a month or two.

 

[F4THi]

Mascherano has never reached that horrific level when played as DM here, still people like to make you feel that he is the worst DM ever out there

 

[TotaalVoetbal]

He was shocking at the Euros as well. Desperately needs competition. He would get ripped apart every week if he didn't have Raki beside him.

Yep, called it months ago. He's one of the worst players on the team atm. Complete and utter liability.
