Even if he does well we need atleast 1 world class CB to lead the defence. Bartra is inexperienced, Pique is mediocre, Puyol is eternally injured and Mascherano is not a CB.
Someone in the league of Kompany, Vertonghen or Hummels
All points aside we expect much better from a player who cost us so much money than just be a squad player. He should be a big match player. Its been 2 seasons still he hasnt lived upto his potential. He needs to train hard and improve his first touch and his ball retention but dunno how much of...
In theory what u think is true but if u observe Villa was hugging the touchline a lot more in this match unlike the Milan game where he was in the center 90% of the time. I think Tito thought that Cesc cant dribble/beat defenders like Messi to give a throughball to Villa or Pedro So they pushed...
He tried but couldnt create chances by himself. In his defence he got no service. But as soon as Messi came on our attack looked dangerous. Messi and Villa together work well with Villa as CF and Messi behind him. Maybe the management didnt trust Cesc to play behind Villa like Messi does. Maybe...
We have pretty much sealed the the Liga. 13 points ahead with 8 rounds to go. Madrid would have to win all 8 and we would have to lose 5 for us to concede the title. We are not so pathetic to lose the league in this scenario with Bartra in the team. He should play all remaining matches to gauge...
I wont criticize his performance as he's inexperienced. But he should cut down on tricks. We dont need CR7-esque show offs. Hopefully the senior players help him learn from his mistakes.
His crossing with his left foot is not as good as his right which is expected as he's a RB. Was dispossessed many times but mostly recovered quickly. Hopefully he'll learn from his mistakes. Will be a key player next season.
Should get the nod for PSG. Playing Abidal or Adriano who have no match fitness will be stupid. He should play all remaining 8 matches in La Liga to get experience and to judge his potential. If he impresses then we may only need one CB else two.
Dont be naive. If Barca were 16 points behind Real you would want the team to focus on CL too. The statement that that they didnt care about the league is not true. They just gave up when the gap became too big and focused all their energy on La Decima
^Agree. Unless he pulls a Varane which is extremely unlikely i dont see him here next season. He will go on loan and probably never return. Whether or not he was good enough for Barca we will never know as he wasnt given enough chances. But his Barca career is definitely dead and buried. But...
