Sergio Busquets

[JamDav1982]

It got to point he was hiding at times and doing his slow jog and pointing to someone else to pass to.

 

[Nello]

Man was he struggling tonight. Missed Frenkie badly the first 60 minutes

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

This was perfect example why we should have sold him 4-5 years ago. He gets roasted by any team with speed and physicality.

 

[Horatio]

People called it. Needs Frenkie to cover for him, otherwise exposed against pressing teams.

 

[Catta]

Imagine how good Frenkie and Pedri will be when Busi finally leaves, and they stop being babysitters and become full time midfielders.

--Kessie-Pedri
---De Jong---
With De Jong and Kessie maybe switching roles...
And we can add Gavi and Nico...
Bussi is done, for me like few years ago...

bad game

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

He did make an extremely skilled long scorpion pass which Pedri miscontrolled around the box. Hope it gets posted online.

 

[Andresito]

This is the type of game he'd usually have for the past 5 years. The type of game that calls for his head from fans, including me. Has been decent in 2022 otherwise though.

Struggles against high press ay

 

[Richard.H]

The problem with Busi is that he will struggle a lot against teams like Liverpool or Bayern who will press endlessly. Xavi needs to realize this when considering starting him next year in CL matches.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Exactly. Xavi needs to start him from the bench. When at 60-70min opponent has slowed down, Busis time to shine. He can look good at that point. Game has slowed down.

He can be useful in these types of games but NOT from the start!

what people been saying for months yet you denied. Good to see you came around.

That comment was made tongue in cheek

That will eventually come to this. Frenkie is clearly the successor at his position, which will leave more room/minutes for Gavi to evolve.
