Barca Transfers and Rumors

Deulofeu. I think Vidal is a better RW basing on what he displayed at Sevilla
343 is crap. Against WC wingers it is suicide. We only played it because we lacked good fullbacks
Lol, Roberto has actually played in defence. How Rafinha helps more in defence is a mystery
4-3-3 with Messi at RW is a problem. So whoever the manager that comes and asks us to play a suicide formation, he is the one to be sold
You mean to tell me we have never played both Sergi Busquets and Robeto in midfield at the same time?
Well they won Euro twice and world cup with that pivot
It only got bad once signs of aging started showing up with Xabi, Xavi all aging at the same time and unable to run
My question exactly
Iniesta is old and being phased out, Rakitic is no longer good enough for our starting lineup and all three look crap in 433. Enough reasons to switch formation
Perhaps but midfielders suggested here don't bring any form of balance, majority of them are anarchy players. Players who will try a rainbow pass before they pass the ball to Messi, others are weak and can't even win the ball back so that it can be given to Messi

isn't a mistery rob played as lateral defender
in the midfield, in my opinion, rafinha is more dynamic...
indeed until his injury, raf played good games...
anyway will be valverde to decide...
the only one untouchable in the middle is busi...

Nope and no, both of them are crucial players for this team. You don't just turn from world class to pure shit in 12 months. When the team is being managed by a person who plays fucking Gomes as a fullback, you don't have to look hard to find who's at fault here.
ps. Iniesta and Rakitic aren't the only 'underperformers' here, Suarez, Busquets and Alba have all been super inconsistent for a very long time, Neymar has been trash and the entire team relies on Messi doing his thing. When Pique was going through his shit period after Puyi's retirement, there were talks of selling him to Chelsea for fucking 30m lol. My point is that all the players above are still world class and have a lot to give for this club and they're not being sold/replaced anytime soon.

Rakitic was a one season wonder, actually half season wonder. Iniesta is aging, he started aging a while a go and it's downhill from here.
Gomes playing at RB has nothing to do with losing the ball more than usual, being slow and not bothering at all to defend
I think Roberto's play as RB this season and DM last season prove that he is better at defending, aerially and on the ground. What is dynamic to you?
And BTW Rafinha is as injury prone as it gets, not a player i will rely to play pivot with Busquets
Imagine vs Juventus
Cuadrado-Dybala-Higuain-Mandzukic
Vs
Mascherano-Pique-Umtiti
suicide

With that logic, yes.
But I have wrote a lot of times that our 433 isn't working for years.
But people always have 100 of alibis and everything else is at fault, and not 433.
For example:
2012: Pep abandoned 433
2013: Tito played a few formations. In general, we started to be too one dimensional, especially in Europe. But people will say: we sucked because a coach was ill.
2014: Tata's team sucked hard. We still had Xavi, Iniesta and a Rb.
2015: The only time in the last 6 years when 433 worked for 12 Months.
2016: Stupid Lucho, no midfield, people will say. But we still had Msn, Busi, Iniesta, Alves and sucked so hard in the 2nd part of 2015/2016.
2017: 433 was an ultimate horror show this season. Blah blah, Lucho, no midfield, no Rb.
433 sucked majority of time in the last 6 years.
And this summer, at best, we'll get Ballerina and some random Cm.
In a 433, Alba will still suck. Bellerin won't be the next Alves. Midfield will be more or less the same. Msn will be dead tired, Messi will drift in the middle, Neymar will do dribbles with zero end product, Suarez and Raki will struggle with simple passes.
At best, we will get 1-2 new starters and you expect that 433 will return to it's glory days from 7-10 years ago?
Well, be prepared for a lot of disappointments with a good old 433.
Before someone says that Rm plays 433:
1. They can rotate their attackers
2. They can score goals both with feet and head, unlike us
3. They have better midfield
4. They have fullbacks with a higher Iq
5. They have a physically stronger team
So, 433 in general isn't dead.
But THIS version, which we are forcing, with slow, old and tired players who play only through the ground is sooooo dead.

Actually it was Mathieu-Pique-Umtiti and it was the worst suicide ever
There's a reason why other teams play with atleast 4 defenders
Even Chelsea. Their 3-4-3 consists of wing backs who essentially join in a 5 man backline when defending
