I don't care if Mathieu is not a Xavi of the defense as long as he does his job which is defending and he is doing that. Mathieu is the least of our problems in fact he is one of the only positives this season

agreed playing Dani effectively takes out 2 players from our team so its a 9 vs 11 scenario and 8 vs 11 if Busi doesn't show up

I don't know whether the people bashing him are just that stupid or trying to make him a scapegoat for Lucho's stupid tactics. Seriously you want Cesc fucking Fabregas for the system Lucho is using? You got to be kidding me. Try playing Rakitic in one match where he doesn't have to play RB and...

That is actually personnel wise the best formation we can put up which would provide the balance in our play in all areas but I know (no doubt I know it) that Lucho won't try it as you drop his man crush Dani in that formation

Those going on and on about how unlucky we were not to win today and how good we were while bashing everyone who says otherwise need a reality check. Let me lay out what I make out of Lucho's "tactics": 1) FBs provide width 2) Attacks go through the wing rather than the middle 3) Messi plays...

Below par mediocrity overdrive it will be

FFS Lucho try Bartra-Mathieu and bench Mr Shakira

Shall I send the tickets?

nope Bartra!!

If this board remains I'll pick Bielsa because: 1) For the pure entertainment factor 2) Loco is actually a good coach

inb4 they make cases on Leo for cheating on his school tests

Why not try Lion heart's apprentice with the Ginger beast instead and glue Mr Shakira's ass to the bench for a month at least

Or maybe we could ditch the pivot altogether for a collective midfield unit like Ancoletti is using in Madrid. I think Xavi-Rakitic-Rafinha might be good enough for defensive cover without compromising on offensive flair. Xavi to play a Pirlo-esque role while Rakitic and Rafinha play the box to...

Finally Masch gets some recognition :worthy:

You are too pessimistic. Its getting old real quick

FFS he could have at least told the guy he was playing LB during the training matches

Well he must get bored on the bench and it would be frustrating for him to see Iker play when his form is on the same level as Lord Arbeloa

Messi gonna remind Ronnie of the good ol' days

IMO it should be Masch-Rakitic-Xavi. Put Xavi in the Pirlo role with Masch and Rakitic providing the energy and we'll see the maestro at his best again

Happy belated birthday to the ultimate utility player
