aah..the rotations were fun while it lasted.. back to his favourite midfield trio who have never worked this season... ..back to the usual grind, give the ball to Messi and hope he pulls something out...Thought Malcolm would get this game after having impressed midweek but rotations are only if...

He had a few bad decisions in the first half where with better decisions, Real would've been up by more than a goal. But those will improve with experience. Considering it was his first Clasico, looks quite promising. But then again, he was up against Pique :lol:. So can't really tell

For me, a decent CL exit is what I am hoping for. The way we are playing and how easy opponents find to open our defense up especially on Pique's side, the only way we are making the finals is if the opponents themselves wet the bed and park the bus and not attack us... If Valverde abandons this...

I wouldn't be surprised if no one came for him at the price which the board or few people in the forum are expecting (anywhere between 50-90) :lol: And loan for Rakitic is just hilarious.. Its not happening.

Hopefully some rotations here. Team seems to be running on fumes especially towards the end of games...

Suarez

Malcolm because he scored the goal Semedo

Right now with Pique in defense who can just about manage himself and not cover for anyone else..definitely Semedo`s defensive presence is more required than any offensive output... I would play Roberto against weaker teams or teams which park the bus and hope for the odd goal... Either way...

Well.. Overall, I would agree.. But until now, it wasnt much of a problem..Both Busquets and Pique have been borderline bad to very bad with rare good performances for quite a while now, and thats not just this season.. While its true that we dont, may be we should consider, we have shipped...

Definitely sell, Rakitic is quite valued on the market..In fact I would sell Busquets as well or just retain one of these two for the transition.. It was stupid on the boards part to offer lucrative extensions to an aging and quite poor in the past few seasons Busquets and Pique... Rakitic has...

Hope there are some rotations here as well considering its the cup and a trip to San Mames in the weekend..No need to go all out every 3 days.. Maybe Messi off the bench if he had a knock? Semedo Pique Lenglet Alba Vidal Busquets Arthur Messi/Malcolm Suarez Coutinho/Malcolm But considering...

Hopefully some rotations here considering next midweek would be the Copa semis. Maybe some rest for Suarez, Pique, Roberto and Alba? Busquets is out so thats rest for him as well. Alena- Rakitic-Vidal perhaps? and Murillo instead of Pique?

Well this is a preview for our Champions league as well because he is going to play this exact 11 (or Arthur out for Vidal and a change of keepers). Everyone but 1 or 2 will remain the same. Roberto-Pique, Rakitic-Busquets have never worked all season and still more of the same..

Typical Ernie Line up, going all out to save the Copa!! Fooled everyone into thinking Alena will start instead of Rakitic :valverde: No pace as usual.. Totally dependent yet again on Messi to do something and save yet another snooze fest .. Plus Roberto and Pique.. If Sevilla are smart, we...

I dont know what it is with EV wanting Roberto at RB alongside Pique despite the repeated disasters this season..Its not like Roberto has been an assist machine either during his time there... Similarly Rakitic-Busquets despite our play having been shit whenever the two of them have started in...

So we are going strongest 11 tomorrow from the looks of it? Btw why is Murillo not even in the squad? Surely he can start in such games with Semedo and Lenglet? Rest some midfielders instead like Vidal for example.

Back to his favorite midfield 3.. :valverde: Expecting one boring and dire match..No matter how many times Rakitic and Busi midfield has failed, EV still keeps them coming :lol: ....Semedo starting is the one surprise here ..

He has been done for quite a while now with very inconsistent performances and off field distractions, one after the other..it seems like he goes looking for it.. But he has a good rapport with the board so no way he is being sold!!

Considering his form over the past few years and possibly because he might be unbenchable using their seniority, it would be nice if we can transfer both..Sure why not? .. Or as i said a sub role for one of them, doesnt matter which one. Either way they should not be guaranteed starters.

Considering the objective was to rest players, its mission accomplished...I wouldn't read too much into the results. Now all we can hope is that Valverde doesn't go Remontada next week at the Camp Nou and plays a full strong 11 to overturn this deficit... About the match itself, again shows how...
