Sergio Busquets

The reality is we look much better without him at the moment. I’m not saying he’s finished but he’s been shit recently. Tonight was a dead rubber but can’t afford him to play like this later in the season.

him in defensive transition

I think football is just evolving, every top team has a pacewhore midfield now. So you either play the pep way and use Busquets correctly, or he is too much of a liability defensively.

I agree, however even Pep uses defensive midfielders with a bit of pace now. Fernandinho is like Bolt in comparison to Busquets.

Love what he has done for the club but I’ll be seriously pissed if he is a starter next season. For each good game he has 5 mediocre ones.

 

[Ursegor]

Absolute horrorshow again. Went to "press" numerous times today only for a ball to be played in the space he was supposed to be in.

Certain players have certain abilities attributed to them. Like "Busquets = intelligent". It's a cliché. How many times does he run up the field to press mindlessly on his own when it's not on?

Give me that Coutinho - Arthur - Vidal midfield and make it at least worth something.

Camp Nou is just too damn big for his legs. Can we look into some sort of pitch reduction?

Actually we can, and many clubs employ this tactic. Tottenham for example in their old stadium.

In all honesty, I really think our current team might fare better on a smaller pitch. The size of Camp Nou gives us a big disadvantage defensively and we hardly use it for much going forward.

 

[GOAT_SUAREZ]

Extending this guy contract was such a retarded decision by the board.

This. Vidal >>> Busquets

 

[wisconsincule]

And as long as he’s here he will be given the preferential treatment and be a starter. Too bad. Had given us so much but is a turtle.

*facepalm*

 

[ATLBarcaFan]

He's become so inconsistent, he just can't be relied on for big games.

 

[xXKonan]

He's a Barca Legend, but I cannot believe we gave him yet another contract extension with a pay raise despite him already getting a deal a year ago.
