Rakitic..full 90 incoming :valverde: Messi coming off the bench! A better question would be if he knows what the words "rotation" and "substitutions" mean? and whether he predecides substitutes before the game

some folks having short term memories..only few months ago, every one wanted him out and rightfully so.. Now he has found a good team at his level..I am happy that he has settled down and playing well because we may get more money for him if the board recognize the opportunity here.. PS: Before...

Fucking hell..he is gonna play Rakitic and probably some more of the starting 11 on Wednesday isn't he ?? :(

Typical Barca game we've come to expect :valverde:

The match was largely forgettable overall ...anyways corrected it now..thanks

Pick any of our eleven today (except maybe Pique and Vidal and Dembele)..all of them sucked together...

and still it didn't occur to sub him as a precaution..unbelievable!!!

I think Busquets and Rakitic's time are up and one of them (at the max) should be on the pitch at any given point of time.. Either Alena or Vidal and definitely Arthur must be our midfielders for this season, change Coutinho's position as well and try a 4-3-2-1 or a 4-4-1-1 or just play Malcolm...

I am surprised none in the media questions if he knows the meaning of rotating the squad to keep them fresh!!

well the way this same line up played midweek, wouldn't get my hopes too high on anything resembling a good match..for that Villareal has to be exceptionally shit :D Good luck

Dembele starts...Alena..good joke :valverde2:

Best possible 11 it is :valverde: .. Considering this lineup played like shit midweek, expect more of the same today as well and a good chance for Villareal to get something out of this one !!

well i wouldnt classify him as good enough either..He hasn't done enough to prove that either, he did fuck up with Roma...Here however he did benefit from a younger Messi, younger Suarez and Neymar who solved the issues amongst themselves..and also had a xavi/younger Iniesta and younger...

Well one could also argue it was Enrique's genius buys plus loss of Neymar which saddled Valverde in his first year?? I am not pro Valverde, I think he sucks too with his constantly playing the same 11 and conservative tactics..but lets not get carried away with Lucho's so called genius :D...

Sorry but that would be replacing mediocrity with another mediocrity... I mean if he were to be like managing our Barca B or the entire youth system, i am all for it..but for winning and motivating our current squad or another set of more stars, pass... What i would personally prefer is someone...

The only reason any of them is not 100% is not because of rotations but because they were injured the remainder of the times..otherwise you would've had quite a few of them at 100 :D

I wouldn't go that far ..He was crazy too.. He was anti-Valverde in that he rotated excessively, he even had commentators mentioning how he never played the same 11..and if i remember correctly, it took an intervention from the senior players after the Sociedad game to sort out our problems with...

For a guy who plays the same 11 over and over again, he sure wants a stacked bench :D

Time for the strongest 11 :valverde:

well there are a few favorite players of the coach ..All they need to show is proof of being able to walk..and they play the entire match..What is this "sub" thing you speak of? :valverde:
