I'm guessing Gavi as a LW in a 433?

Most likely

Will be but surely cant be same high/wide wingers approach on that side with full backs sitting deeper.

Will have to be Alba wide/ with FDJ covering Busi/Alba area of pitch if Alba goes forward surely.

Don't really like Gavi on the wings. Feels like we're putting players in positions just to fit a certain XI in.

Yup I agree. Strange decision.

 

[Neeraj]

Amazing day out in bcn today, really wanted to go for the game. Great kic-koff time too. But the bank balance had other ideas. On the flip side - we never tend to do very well in these early games when it's lovely and sunny out lol.

Finally we have enough wingers... Let's play Gavi at LW.

SMH.

 

[Porque]

Gavi cutting in and combining with Pedri and Ferran could be exciting. Just need Alba and Adama to be on their games and provide the width.

If we need more individual actions in attack then there is Dembele, Auba and EZ in the reclamory. Not bad.

My bigger issue is the Pedri-de Jong-Busi midfield that has never meshed as a unit. That's where Atletico could overrun us. Not ignoring the candy floss defence.

 

[Neeraj]

I've been one of FDJ's supporters here, and I still am. But he needs to step up today.

 

[jamrock]

Pissing me off now with his constant need to start busquets.

 

[KingLeo10]

Got his much needed reinforcements...

Starts Busquets - Pique - Alba - Alves by default and shoehorns Gavi as a LW

This guy is seriously starting to sour me from his absolute legend status as a Barca player.

 

[JamDav1982]

Big boos for Dembele.

Poor lad.

 

[Bobo32]

He should've played Aubameyang as DMC or LB

 

[JamDav1982]

Pissing me off now with his constant need to start busquets.

It is starting him and playing in way that leaves him exposed and still thinking he is best DM in world.

Mind boggling.

I don't mind four midfielders, but would prefer Pedri on LW or Gavi in the center (false 9, #10 in a 442 diamond). Otherwise pretty reasonable 11.
