Yeah, but those humiliations we setup with a 442.

That's just asking for Busquets to be sodomized with no protection.

Sure we can say the tactics didn't play to the strengths of several players though. It's not that busquets = bad. It's that the tactics that are either used or forced upon us in those games make him useless.

Busquets is the best in the world under pressure, if I was to put together a team that would be 'press resistant', Busquets would be the first one I'd pick. Yes 2021 Busquets just as 2011 Busquets.

You can't build from the back if you have two or three players that either is too bad for it or not in on it.
Just take the example of the back pass to the goalie - if the central defenders make the sprint for 30m in order to be free near the touchline, any goal keeper can be a 'playing goalkeeper'. But Ter Stegen or Valdes can't do anything if the defenders doesn't make that run. It is very easy for a defender not to do it, they need a manager that screams at them if they don't. And of course the situation is the same if the defender makes the run, but the goalie just kicks it up anyway. This is the same in the midfield - the runs and the decisions are crucial, just one thing wrong and it all can fall apart.

Before, Busquets had Vidal/Paulinho and Rakitic in front of him. Speaks of itself I think. Now, he has Frenkie and Pedri - better, but still very flawed I say. Put Puig and Roberto there, or two from the B-team, and Barcelona won't get caught out by any high press. But of course, defence need to be good as well - Frenkie+Pique would be great in the buildup, Araujo and Lenglet are not so good... The biggest thing is having the trust and the demand from the manager though.

Great again. Surprising when you have players who can run around one who can?t what happens.

Now imagine playing Rakitic-Busi-Vidal in CL. The original Bermuda Triangle :crbust:

Once we face a top team then we will know his true form, he is fine against little teams.

He was great against Sevilla, he was great against PSG. What top team are you referring to? Bayern, City? Those teams will make every player from our team look bad, not only Busquets.

Masterclass today. Can't even remember when is the last time I've seen this Busquets, Lucho's second season probably. Was good even against PSG and Sevilla, two aggressive teams, today against La Real too.
