    If I was referring to you I'd have said Manuel. But the consensus here mostly is what I posted above.

    Iniesta is a huge loss no doubt.

    But I'm pretty worried of our form away from home in the league. I want to see something like this:VV;Dani-Masche-Pique-Abidal;Xavi-Busi-Thiago;Alexis-Messi-Villa. And in the second half Pedro should get some minutes.
    And Fabregas? Remember him?

    Ah my bad, as my comment had been the last one and it had mentioned Iniesta's injury, I assume you were referring to me.

    And I doubt anyone seriously believe that Cesc is to blame for injuries. The whole "Cesc curse" thing is a joke, I'm assuming.

    Actually the 2-0 win against RM in the Bernabeu came without Iniesta..but against Inter he would have probably made a difference, especially because Messi was pretty bad.
    And I believe Xavi and Messi are our most important players, with Iniesta close.

    We need to bring Pedro, Villa and Alexis back to form. Cesc could substitute Xavi in the second half or play against Rayo at home.

    Fair enough. The thing is that, Messi apart, Iniesta is the only Barca who is a great dribbler (they're probably the two best dribblers in the world, Messi and Andrés) and can really unlock defenses with his incisive dribbling and amazing footwork. Without him, teams can get away with parking the bus and marking Messi. With both Messi and Iniesta on, it's a completely different story, Inter would surely not have had it so easy.

    Alexis has never been "in-form" since joining. Not that he's doing badly. He's still adapting and you're right - he needs to be played. Instead of whom though? Villa? Manuel T won't be happy.

    They can all play with 3-4-3 anyway.

    I agree with you that Messi and Iniesta are the best driblers in the world, but we saw against RM in the Supercup how important is Xavi..with him in the middle, Messi and the Don are free to be genios. But hey, we could say that they are the Holy Trinity of Barca.
