Yeah, he's great going forward as well, from what I've seen. Remember when he hit the crossbar in the first league clasico? From a long way out, too. He also got himself in a one on one with Casillas in the 2nd leg of the super cup.

I still think the Fabregas in midfield with Iniesta on LW thing can work with an on form Cesc. It worked well in the first half of the season. Still though, Xavi/Iniesta in midfield with Villa up front is what works best. Our 2 best games of the season (IMO) were the 4-1 against Atletico and...

Barcastuff: Official: Jordi Alba has recovered from his thigh injury (ESP-FIN 22 March) and has been given the medcial green light #fcblive Looks like he'll be playing against PSG. :party1:

This. If there is one place in which the team has few or no problems, it's the midfield. Our depth in midfield is good as well, with Thiago, Cesc (though he's out of form atm) and Song as back ups. Our Thiago-Song-Cesc midfield didn't work that well yesterday, but I think a large part of that is...

Well, I can see us getting someone from PSG's bench, like Sakho (of course, that depends on whether he remains on the bench). Doesn't he have problems with Ancelotti or something? I can see us being able to get someone like that from City, Chelsea or PSG. As for a starter for City, Chelsea or...

Wait wait wait.... a Barca team hasn't conceded once in 7 games? Am I dreaming?

This. He had a bad game. Enough with the "he has to be sold!!!!!!!111111"

Deportivo 4-5 Barca much?

I can see his workrate being useful against PSG since the starting FB duo in the first leg will be Montoya/Alves unless Alba returns (So Alexis' workrate can be useful to cover for Alves). In the second leg though, I'd like to see a FB pairing of Alba/Montoya and Tello at RW. Especially if...

Really? Isn't Deulofeu supposed to be a future Ballon d'or contender/the next Messi/whatever? Sounds good to me.

IMO, Thiago should be able to replace Xavi, though he won't be exactly the same. He obviously isn't ready for it right now, but IMO, he should be when the time comes. As for Thiago-Song-Cesc, I think the fact that it didn't work that well has a lot to do with Cesc being off-form and the 3 of...

Thiago/Iniesta has worked really well too. As for Thiago-Song-Cesc, I just think they need some time to gel. We'll need to use them as our midfield 3 at times to rest our first choice midfield.

Actually, I think it's the opposite. He's proved to be a reliable backup to Busquets (despite his poor game today), but his price was too high. He's not who we needed to buy, but he's been good in his role. I can see him turning out to be a decent purchase if Tito continues to use the double...

Though he didn't have a good game today, Song's been a pretty reliable backup for Busquets in most of the games he's played in.

Tbf, benching Pique isn't really an option IMO, since Masch isn't a CB and Bartra's too inexperienced (though he should have got more playing time IMO). He's good for his lack of experience but not good enough to start IMO. If Pique were benched at any point in the season, the options for our...

I highly doubt that they didn't care about it in the beginning, but I doubt they care about it any more since we've basically won it. Btw, Real can get 89 points. We have 75, so we need 15 more to win the league. 5 wins and it's done.

Like I said on the other thread, Montoya (and Adriano, for that matter) getting more games would help Alves. It would make sure he doesn't get too comfortable with his starting spot. He's been great at times recently, but WAY too inconsistent. Montoya getting more games would really help this...

And now Atletico have a chance of being 2nd again. It'd cut our lead to 12 points, but it'd be nice to see Real back in 3rd. I believe it's 15 now.

I think having someone on the bench who has a legitimate chance of benching him would help. Which is why getting 2 CBs can be a good idea. Pique definitely has the talent to be a starting CB for Barca, he's world-class in terms of that IMO. He's too inconsistent though, and I think what I...

Well, he is one of the top assisters in Europe, often with shit finishers around him... IMO, he's not only the best goalscorer in Europe, but one of the best playmakers as well.
