    Luis Enrique

    He got his tactics wrong for this match to be sure as well as the PSG match. Those just so happen to be the biggest games we have played this season and we have lost both. I still have faith in Lucho and will not grade him until all 3 competitions have been decided. Nothing ever goes perfect and...

    Lliga: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 3-1

    Best of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay...... Yessir!

    Lliga: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 3-1

    The more I think about it the more I think this lineup will work. Even if barca line up as a back 4 I don't think Mathieu will go forward much at all. Dani will bomb forward as much as usual but Busquets drops back and again makes it into a back 4. This isn't like our barca of the last few...

    Lliga: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 3-1

    Not that I want barca to play 3 at the back but there's a possibility barca could line up that way with those players starting.

    Ivan Rakitić

    This as well as him having to cover for Alves as well. It's almost as if Barca are already playing with two DM's. After all the talk this summer about playing busquets and Masche at the same time we are sorta seeing what that would look like with Busi or Mashe with Raki. The difference with...

    Gerard Piqué

    I agree with all you guys about piques faults but unfortunately he is our best defender at winning aerial duels. Don't you think that's a very important aspects to a team? Especially against top clubs.

    Gerard Piqué

    Ya it's looking like Mathieu should start at LB to give the defense more stability against Madrid. Look, against most La Liga teams the top CB pairing should be Mathieu and Masche. They are the ones who make the least mistakes right now. BUT, against the top teams Mascherano unfortunately is a...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Are you sure you weren't watching a game from his first season at Barca?

    Champions League: FC Barcelona - Ajax 3-1

    I'm always nervous that Masche will still be played at CB even when Busquets isn't playing but the fact that Mascherano played at DM over the weekend gives me hope Lucho will make the right decision.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    If that's all that was needed to be a good footballer I would be as good as Messi. No actually even better than him. Messi has nothing on me when it comes to good intentions.

    Gerard Piqué

    Agreed but maybe that's what he needs to kick his ass into gear. Then again if he can't be responsible for himself how can we expect him to be responsible for an entire team like Barca

    Andrés Iniesta

    I'm just curious what you guys think Iniesta is doing wrong this year? I agree he has been off, but I don't think its laziness. I think I give our players a little too much slack when they have bad games. The only things I have noticed him do wrong is miss some passes he usually makes in his...

    Sergi Roberto

    Or because Lucho told him "okay I'm putting you in at the 60th min. If you don't impress me you'll never play again except in CdR matches. You're just gonna be our training pitch bitch for messi to take advantage of. Show me something son!"

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Why do people care so much about him scoring? He is so much more than just a goal machine. When Ronaldo doesn't score then his fans can freak out because that's really all he brings consistently. Messi could score 10 goals this year and still be considered the best in the world (by those who...

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Exactly. Also remember, Messi routinely drops back all the way to the midfield line in the build up play. There's plenty of space for all 3 of them to play centrally with Luchos fullback philosophy and Raki / Busi covering for them.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    The more people talk about Suarez actually playing real games for us the more excited I get. I'm just gonna try to avoid this thread till the end of October. But I'll probably be back tomorrow :(

    Ivan Rakitić

    For me he has done so much for us defensively that I could almost care less what he does on offense. That's not to say he hasn't been impressive on offense either cause he has. And we haven't even seen him at his best yet either.... Scary

    Lliga: Villarreal - FC Barcelona 0-1

    There was no need for him in the last game. I would be surprised if he didn't start the next game with Don Andres out. Away to Villareal is one of the hardest fixtures we'll have this year. Lucho could play Rafinha but I think It's a good game for Chameleon eyes to start.

    Lliga: Villarreal - FC Barcelona 0-1

    Munir has to start! Please! His confidence has to be sky high right now. And what kind of message would Lucho be sending to the players if he is benched for pedro who is out of form or Rafinha who wasn't at his best last game and is playing out of position.

    Munir El Haddadi

    And how bout that shot in the first half that rocketed off the crossbar!
