Lliga | Round 23: FC Barcelona - Getafe CF 0-0

Don't understand the Mina - Costas pairing. You are pairing someone who played a whole 8 min with a youth player.

Umtiti suspended. Vermaelen injured and Pique to sit out to rest after taking a risk yesterday. Someone will have to play alongside Mina. Digne possibly unavailable too it seems so who else than Costas or possibly Semedo at CB?

Costas has 19 La Liga appearances, so he isn't exactly inexperienced and Mina has to play. Also, playing Busi and Raki in front of them should help a lot + Semedo and Bob on the right side.

We will have to take some risks. There is no other option. Yerry is our only CB available and playing Busi in CB is an option, but not a good one IMHO. Maybe we could experiment with Paulinho in CB, but his positional awareness is shocking, so I don't think that would end well. Semedo at CB is also not a great idea, because our build-up starts with CB's and CDM's and he is not one of the players to do that job. Maybe Bob could play alongside Mina and add third to last position to his check list (the last two are ST and GK).

You're welcome
I forgot about our current situation. Makes more sense now. Still...don't be surprised if Pique shows up.
 
Stegen
Roberto-Mina-Digne-Alba
Paulinho-Rakitic-Busquets-Coutinho
Messi-Suarez

Messi or Suarez off for Dembele once we have a comfortable enough lead.

Pique and Vermaelen didn't train so that's that. It's Mina-Digne CB partnership probably.

Bob has been played as false nine before
