If I could choose I'd keep both and ship Pedro to the B-team

Can't we just play Xavi like Pirlo does for Juve with Masch and Rakitic being Pogba and Vidal in midfield would be an instant upgrade on the current midfield Lucho is trying to make

For doing what exactly?

Agreed a good coach uses pre-season and first 5 games to pick out his best XI and plays them consistently so that they can gel but I have said it before I am tired of his constant rotations especially in defense and he played the worst possible combination (bar starting Pedro) in the Classico...

You don't magically develop first touch and seamless passing alongside telepathic positioning with your teammates with only 1 game in 3 months. It should be expected of him to take extra touches and be cautious when he play cause he knows he needs not to make mistakes as he'll be benched for a...

Lets do the math shall we: Attacking Contribution: Alves = 1 out of 10 Montoya (a/c to the popular opinion of this forum) = 0 out of 10 Defensive Contribution: Alves = 0.001 out of 10 Montoya = 3 out of 10 Overall: Alves = (5 * 1)-Raktic having to cover his ass thereby limiting him = -1 Montya =...

I think you have to pay all the remaining wages in the contract to the team as compensation

1) Masch 2) Suarez 3) Neymar

As I said before beggar can't be choosers. We have bigger problems and have to compensate. Rakitic-Masch might make us have 55% possession but they will bring stability to our midfield and defense and with 1 part of the holy trinity (anyone of Xavi,Iniesta,Busi) present on the pitch at the time...

Can I apply for the Barca coach job?

Rakitic has energy to burn and I am sure Masch has too. The other 2 being Messi and one of Xavi/Iniesta/Rafinha can be asked to put in a shift and Suarez tracks back too so I don;t think workrate is too much of a problem with Rakitic and Masch in the middle

Does thinking that Bartra and Montoya will start in defense with Masch as DM qualify me as a PTC or a hopelessly optimistic one?

That too in which only Masch was playing for us

Thankfully we have Rakitic,Neymar and Suarez to compensate if they ever get to take one :xavi: :messi:

Montoya-Bartra >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Alves-Pique

Pique is that you? How's Shakira?

And that too after he spends an eternity on the bench until someone needs rest or is injured/suspended

The only this wrong with Mathieu was that he was asked to play a role he was not accustomed to. He is a CB and LB emphasis on the B. You can't expect a defensive minded player to bomb the flanks like Alba. Lucho let him there to die. He is good defensively but attacking he is lost mostly. Alba...

Actually Mathieu is a great LB but he isn't a LB you can make a LW. You take a defensive minded LB and ask him to be Jordi Alba it doesn't work that way and that's why Mathieu looked clueless as he was asked to be a LWB not a LB. Plus Montoya needs to play above Alves end of enough of the...

Masch right now has alot more to offer than Busi because be it his hernia or something else Busi is unable to keep up with his markers and is unable to play lone DM right now. Plus you are heavily biased against Masch as DM
