Maybe EV believes we already have a good left wing when Messi and Alba link well. The problem is the right wing; so he's basically trying his every best player at RW, first Dembele then Coutinho.

Real B team then. :) Good luck

Stop jinxing him... IMO his situation is quite similar to Alex Sanchez who pulled his thigh quite a few times when he came here. The trick to play in narrow spaces: try more small and light touches, prepare to fall down, and don't twist and burst too often.

The reason you can't play Coutinho-Suarez-Messi is that none of three plays as a winger, it would be too crowded in the middle. Unless you let both the fullbacks to go full-attack mode, which leaves huge holes in our defense which can hurt seriously -- as we were 0-1 against Alaves. As a...

I don't think any existing player (except God-mode Messi) is capable of "unlocking" an organized defense. Iniesta wasn't MOTM (of course MOTM is Messi, he scored a freekick to give us 3 points) , but he's good enough. At least in the slightly chaotic situation he's the one with a clear mind.

Hope the money from selling our dead weights is enough to cover the transfer fee :bartomeu:

You forget one guy called Dani Alves.

Exactly.

Opinion from me ("The Coutinho hater") the good performance from Coutinho rather shows what a lack of creativity from our midfield. BTW Villa was an instant fit. Fabregas also had his honey moon. Too early to tell. But it seems he won't be a flop. A great relief for our 160 mil euroes.

:neymar:

Wait and see him in crucial Champions League games.

I will give this credit to RM and Zidane though.

Madrid is waiting for you

Theoretically speaking Arda Turan (the guy in ATM) should be at least a good sub in 442. What a bad, mistimed transfer. (Of course the major issue with Turan is his personal fault. However, definitely mistimed.)

Yeah the starting XI always changes. And we love it because EV is a good coach. I should have said our best XI in La Liga.

I guess after this game our La Liga starting XI: --------Suarez---Messi--------- Coutinho--Raki--Busi--Roberto Alba---Umtiti---Pique--Semedo PS: Gomes' last chance given and he proves to belong to the bench. Semedo needs to work hard to secure a starting position. I like this well-balanced...

Just a thought: he can't play midfielder in 433. It's easier to play in 442 when you have best forwards in Messi and Suarez (they do a lot of playmaking) and Busi Raki to control and defend for you. Especially vs mediocre teams. Basically he's used to give Iniesta some rest.

Hello the doubter is here still watching :lol: Anyway I hope he has a fantastic career in Barca. I doubted Neymar but I liked Suarez. I also doubted Busquets and liked Thiago.

He moved to PSG because he believes the combination of beautiful goals and stat in PSG, French champion and UCL, and a good WC performance will probably win him Ballon d'Or.

Then I see there is no need to argue and ruin this thread.
