Xavi and Pirlo are ahead of Scholes for game control, Scholes has better stats. It's hard to split Pirlo and Xavi IMO.

Pedro would be a good backup striker. Cuadrado is a good wingback if we do play 3atb.

Thiago had a future though if he was patient. These guys are dead wood and a liability.

I always said our problems are tactical. All I said was that Bartra is not a top defender yet (still needs to round out his game and get experience, and find consistency). I also said Pique in form would always start ahead of him. What's wrong with that? I haven't demanded a wc defender...

Yeah but the mighty EPL is the bestest league in the world. You fight hard for your points against Norwich. La Liga is a sunny SPL.

I disagree. The defensive unit is getting worse with time.

Robben back then was a choker. He is better now IMO.

Bartra has potential but still far from world class IMO. He also lacks consistency.

Masch is a great cb for us, only height is an issue for him. Pique is great but inconsistent. Bartra is like Pique but Pique on form benches him easily. Mathieu is also not mediocre but a solid player, I want him to be like Masch but with height. We have good depth at cb but the starting pair...

Robben had one if the best seasons of his career last season. All people are saying is that he's still at his peak.

For depth Vermaelen is not bad. But he has the same profile as Mathieu, and I thought Mathieu was our depth signing not our starter. Disappointed.

I really hope Vermaelen is a depth signing. At least he's good on the ball and can jump, horrible otherwise.

For fuck's sake.

Is Vanarane also coming?

Yeah man, I created his thread after his 2012 season with Dortmund which was great, he only got better since then in link up play, with Pep this will be even better. He is the best after Suarez for me.

I agree. I think Lewy is world class and Bayern will compete with us for the CL.

Boating is error prone. We already have Pique for that.

The Juve 3-5-2 won't work well at Barca because the two in front of Xavi need to be box to box players. Also it fails in Europe. Tbh I'm sceptical of all the 3atb things suggested.

I prefer MSN.

Well said jamdav. Now that we have Mathieu and a new coach I think our defence is actually very solid. Our main problem will be teams that defend deep and in numbers like Atletico.
