Good 1st half. Nice ball retrievals, good 1-touch passing, and some nifty moves to evade pressing Inter players.

Had some screwups in the 2nd half.

Needs to be replaced as soon as possible.

They almost scored in first half when he made next to no effort to defend player when ball came into box and ball ended bouncing on the line.

The standards for a 'good half' from Busi are beyond low.

No doubt about his inability to cover ground and lack of footspeed. But for a DM, his passing and distribution were great in the 1st half. Quick to release the ball when there was a passing lane, skillfully avoided defenders who were pressing, and kept the ball circulating. Also always been good at ball retrieval with those long gangly legs.

He needs to be replaced for the overall good of the team as shown in the 2nd half, but his ballplaying ability is immense. One of the greatest to ever do it.

His passing is nowhere near good enough despite some decent disguised passes now and again.

It let him down again in this game as does every time near enough.

Added to that he hides when players near him and points anywhere else to pass ball.

Ball playing ability is terrible these days and teams target him time and again.

Sure looked 'immense' when he fucked up two passes in row to kill a break and then gift them ball on front of defence for 2nd goal....

Busquets got some qualities like his one touch passing but nowadays whenever he need a few more touches it seems like he ends up making the wrong decision on the ball. Like he did tonight lol.

Anyway he is a complete liability even with all that.

I hope he is really leaving at summer, maybe sooner.
Laporta and Alemany should have their head checked if they offer him renewal like they did with Roberto

The 2nd half wasn't good from him.

But the 1st half is more of prime Busquets.

Xavi is taking risks that Busquets deliver performances similar to the 1st half for full games. There is some risk with his lack of physicality but pros have to be weighed against cons.

I know it's a crushing result but this attitude absolutely stinks. Especially considering Eric Garcia just was on before him and said they have to forget this result and start focusing on the Clasico and not let it affect them.
 
Since 2015 i was saying this guy is below average at CL level but many laughed saying nah he?s a world class 😂😂

Having guys like him cannot help yoh win cl unless you having epic squad like 08/11/15

He is a loser, plain and simple! Not only done physically but psychologically too... No decent coach would allow for such bullshit!

No he wasnt great in first half either and his passing is noweher near good enough these days as this game like many others have shown.

He could easily have given away a goal with his patetic defending from that set piece in first half.

Teams target him every game and Xavi cant see it. He thinks other players let Busi down.

Same shit about a 'good first half' for Busi the usual plebs claimed away to Bayern when he has lowest number of passes and worst pass % in team. Yet a few nice little disguised passes and him charging out of position to win ball some claimed he was class.

Motherfucker. After this statement, if we lose on Sunday, he shouldn't play a minute for this club since then. As simple as that.

If you win the ball back and then retain possession, you're not out of position.

Lowest number of passes and worst pass % mean nothing. Fails to measure the difficulty of passes, if it was under pressure, and which parts of the buildup and play the passes were completed in.

Trotting out useless stats that don't paint the complete picture. Reminds me of the parable about the blind men and the elephant. Focusing on a small part of the overall, and being stubborn about it.
