Its not only about how we play which is an important factor but they seem better in every position propably.They have better defense for sure,our midfield is very weak and cant provide defensive cover besides Busquets that is his job..you know the rest

And Muller won't play right wing as well. Gotze may play as a false 9, but I don't see it working for Gotze or Bayern. I have no clue why he would want to start messing his whole team around just to please Thiago.
I would have agreed with you 2 years ago, but that Barcelona team isn't what it used to be.

Muller was playing on the right before Kroos got injured, when he got injured he moved central and Robben played on the right. Alternatively Gotze could play on the right and Muller in the center i suppose we'll find out.

Thiago gone is the point of the topic
Everything else..fine, your opinion is valid, but I think you're wrong and, unfortunately you'll realize that next year
I don't think it has. Judging from Pep's comments it still seems like he's trying to convince him. I think it's still between both clubs.
I suppose something like this can happen,as Gotze started as attacking midfielder in Borussia but he moved many times in the wing

Why is everyone treating it like Thiago's already gone?

I think thiago might be seen as a DM by Pep, just like yaya and busi were converted to DM. Thiago has been used in that position several times.

The problem starts with the pressing. With Pep, we won a lot of balls back in the opponent's first half. Meaning that we caught the opponent with less then 10 people behind the ball. The problem is we don't do pressing anymore. When we did, we won 4-0.
Why we don't do pressing anymore:
1. Our players are tired. Tito wants and tells them to do pressing but they don't run because... well... physically, they can't do it.
2. Tito thinks pressing isn't necessary. The players don't do pressing because they are told not to by Villanova.
3. Pressing is a sign of commitment and maximum motivation. Players don't to pressing anymore cause they're not willing to work hard on the field and expect matches to be won automatically, just by showing and putting on some boring slow-pace tiki-taka show. A sign of arrogance combined with lack of motivation.
So, there are three variables that Tito and his staff should have taken care off:
The players must be physically fit to play, the players must be hungry for succes and the players must be given proper instructions. None of these 3 conditions were supplyed in last years CL Campaign.
