It's just my personal opinion. I have seen him play many times in that position in the youth teams of both Barça and Spain, and he was pretty good.

He looks a little too self-conscious. He's the opposite of his brother, who was sometimes overconfident. He is working like a beast and is focused on not making mistakes. That's what I like about him compared to his brother, but sooner or later he will have to trust his talent and take more...

Something you have to give to him is that he has mentality. In that aspect, he is similar to Puyol.

Bartra would be a great choice.

I'm speechless.

:lol: Classic! What I didn't like about the team the other day was more psychological than tactical. I don't like how some players deal with frustration while they should always focus on playing as a team, especially in those games where space is difficult to find. Today I think we will have a...

Ok. Montoya is faster, but Bartra isn't slow. Besides, I've seen him play many times in that position and my conclusion is that he is a far better RB than Montoya.

He has improved, but I would loan him out.

Yeah, I don't think pace is the problem. He's just a horrible defender and doesn't produce much of interest in attack.

I prefer Bartra.

Agreed. Add to that that circumstances vary and now, fueled by recent failures, there have been tactical changes. Suárez is a world class player with great movements and a real threat as a striker, and now Messi and Neymar are the wingers who take advantage of the space Suárez creates. Also, it...

I don't give a damn about how many goals Messi scores, but I know it's important for him, so in order for him to be motivated he needs to play almost all the games of Liga and Champions. I have no idea how fit he will be by the end of the season. More rest would seem sensible, but in the end...

I highly doubt that.

Great game. I'm happy for him.

Rakitic will never have the first touch of Kroos, but he is benefiting from the more direct style of play that Luis Enrique is implementing. I preferred Kroos, but on the other hand Rakitic (and Rafinha) is brining a much needed work rate to a team that lacked intensity in the last seasons...

Why compare Bartra with Puyol? Puyol is a legend. Probably, Barça's best defender ever.

Ah, ok. I'm new!

Me. It's me all along. :wave:

Zizou is a Madrid legend, but also one of the best players I've ever seen. I just came up with the name a few seconds before registering. I thought it was cool to blend the names of two of my all time favorite players.

:lol: I agree. If Eto'o ever came close to world class it was especially because of his hunger. Suárez has that too, but he's technically much better and with a better footballing IQ too. It hasn't been easy to find a balanced attack in the Messi era, for a variety of reasons. I remember...
