Sergio Busquets

[Horatio]

His performance improved since he started getting subbed off in some of the games.

Ok, wish you all the best till then.

Good point. I haven't been following Spain lately, but well pointed out.

He's playing even better than for Spain now at Barca. Don't know how long it will last though...

He's playing better, because he doesn't have to defend anymore.

Pace in team helps him and FDJ now covering for him when presses high up park.

The pace in front line is pinning back defences and midfield more and often Busquets is in 15/20 yds of space.

When teams try to play higher line to close in midfield... Barca have no qualms about going over the top early to punish them for it and make them think twice about doing it again.

Cant run back and struggles with slow legs in tight areas but when left in space still useful when can impose tactics on other team.

El Pulpo, the unsung hero who always goes unnoticed in a win but is the first one to be blamed for a loss, Sergio Busquets deserves some appreciation💥

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Insane to see Busquets, Alba and Pique still starting Clasicos. (And with an Alves cameo :lol)

Love how Alves just went wherever he wanted when he came on. Would like to see him start in matches where defensive risk is low.

Busquets: "I understand the criticism for the veterans. That is how football works. We lost the important Champions League matches. Not only us, we were several players, but they focused on only 3 or 4 of us."

Lol, another cheap excuse for his amigos.

Is he not aware they were always protected by Catalan media while foreigners like Raki, MATS and Suarez were thrown under the bus?

Really can't stand this guy as our captain, lol.

I always thought he was smarter than the rest, but turns out he's just as deluded.

Year after year you lose in embarrassing fashion. That's not bad luck and totally deserved criticism.

They were not good enough. Simple as that.

Sadly they still play it "oh bad luck, wasn't my fault".

Can Barca fans put a finger on any particular player they wanna buy as the long term Busquets replacement???

Have our in-forum "experts" identified any players to keep an eye on for this role??

Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante ( Rodri ) ?

Don't need his "replacement", but different setup. Busi is very special player that has no analogues in world football. If we will think in terms of "Busquets replacment" we're be hitting brick wall. For me DJ. Pedri, Gavi/Kessie/Nico lineup should work just fine.
