He cannot cover on opponent's runs or counter-attacks. He is too slow !

atm he is a small game player. We need to accept that and look for new DM, it should be priority.

Dont think he was too bad todayIn buildup and defense Dest, Pedri and Araujo have been the odd men out. Offense was a trainwreck as well, which doesnt help either.
I agree, or probably think more highly of his game than you do.
There probably won't be any compilation videos of his game, but it would be nice to see one. He made some good passes and interceptions as usual.

Will probably test Nico there before opting for a move. Think a goal scoring forward (probably a striker) will be a priority if there's anyone deemed good enough to sign. A defender should be high on the list, but will most likely go with Garcia for a season at least.

He is what he's been the last 2-3 years. This setup managed to hide his issues off the ball, but they're exposed once again.
Good in build up, shockingly bad in defensive transition and softer than a bag of marshmallows. He's done vs. top teams unless he has two dominant midfielders alongside him.

Failing to win La Liga could be key in making full re-build. Busquets would be on his way out if that happens.
I think he had this little revival but it was not going to last. Not with carrying Messi as well anyway.
Frenkie needs to play that DM playmaker role which suits him better than CM anyway and we can pull it off with Pedri and Ilaix in front of him who are good in ball retaining.

Barçapocalypse NOW!
We can't keep making excuses for him, he's just not fit for modern football at the top level... He needs to accept a bench role and rebuild our midfield without him as a central figure...

Not sure we have the personnel to bench him. Maybe we bring someone this summer, otherwise he'll keep playing.
Boy, what a player he was in his prime..

What's shown in the clip is not even half the story.. It's like showing the 20% good part of the story and hiding the ugly 80% and basing judgment on that 20%.

Ugly 80% in Busquets' prime?
was a fabulous player, in fact, that clip does him no favor. Had plenty more to offer. Those times long gone now, sadly.
