10 minutes of rest and back again as a starter for the dead rubber :lol:

So there is ...>Rakitic plus 10 others ... :valverde: At least he didn't start Messi.. unfortunate he won't even try Coutinho in midfield in a non consequential game but i guess he will have a free role in this one similar to Messi so a good chance to impress... plus theoretically this midfield...

So as per the expected line up, Rakitic is back in the starting line as expected after being sufficiently rested for a grand total of 10 minutes last weekend :valverde2: Not sure why Valverde would speculate on resting Messi and then starting him.. Stupid decision by both coach and player if it...

Food for thought: How would you like it if someone suffered an injury in this meaningless game considering Spurs may play hard and considering our present injury situation? TBH, this is not a game we need to win at all..It is the perfect chance to experiment but as usual Mr Safety first ..I...

Well sometimes you`ve to call a spade a spade..... Busquets was the best pivot in the world (emphasis on was)..Right now and for quite sometime, he has been a liability in our midfield, makes way too many mistakes and worse, is an automatic starter... For this year, he is no where near the best...

Think we should worry about our over played players than fairness TBH.. Every single one of them has been overplayed by Valverde..and the last thing we want is for them to go all out in a meaningless game for us.. But well Mr "we dont want experiments" Conservative knows better :valverde2:

Damn it... 90 minutes incoming then :D

This may be good news on this occasion as he will be forcibly rested in the Champions game .... But otherwise, he has to clean up his act.. It is not going to end well for him if he continues in this path..

Suarez is definitely out..... were you expecting anything other than 90 minutes for Rakitic though?? :valverde:

Valverde never ceases to surprise me with truly how incompetent at this job he is ..if that squad list is correct.. Playing full strength on a meaningless game of no consequences..and yet 1 B team player in that list..He doesn't even rotate on such games. We are gonna get Rakitic plus 10 others...

and yet Pochettino makes the list ..No Roberto Martinez either...what a stupid list... David De Gea no 1 goal keeper..Sergi Roberto, Pique and Busquets in the top 10 ..I am not sure what the folks at ESPN were smoking when they made this shit up :D i_bleed_blaugrana Disagree with the...

Time to try Coutinho with Arthur in midfield.. No reason why any of our other starters should be risked for this dead rubber.. Everyone needs as much rest as they can before EV will bury them all with the Jan Copa fixtures .. Knowing EV, my predicted line up is Rakitic plus 10 others...

Seriously..confirmed starter 2 years before a tournament..come on now....Löw should`ve stepped aside after the WC group stage exit. But now he is continuing to drag Germany through the mud thanks to his over dependence on non-performing older players....The way things are going with the WC...

Think that's only in the Copa..In Champions they have this two lists thing where List 2 can be updated anytime before the game ..and any player can play from the lists..So if first teamers play its only because of EV's stupidity..I don't think this rule has been changed..

Really good game yet again...brings so much to our squad which everyone else seem to lack..yet with the current manager will be back to the bench once again

Dumb subs.. Up 4-0 and making subs after 70 minutes is just plain stupid... And again not giving chance to promising youngsters in a match pretty much won..instead playing Denis and Munir ffs.. Positives: Rakitic was subbed off.. Must have been quite a tear inducing moment when he made that...

Pretty decent first half, lot of good individual efforts, Messi and some poor goal keeping papered over the cracks..Second half was back to the usual style we play.. The lack of timely subs was equally puzzling as were the ones subbed off...2nd sub at 78 mins when you are up 4-0 is quite...

Messi

Leo_Messi I get what you are saying with the board making poor choices, not re-investing in the squad wisely etc, For example No backup for Pique even though he has sucked for quite a while, same with Suarez although they did try to get rid of him....I agree that senior players are complacent...
