    Obviously. 4-3-3 or any other variant with 3 midfielders is untouchable at Barca. Expect more crossing from the best number 9 in the world to 5.5 ft. midgets as the main gameplan going forward.

    I think Neymar has been piss poor with his general play aside from his improved finishing. He was much better in the first half of last season, dribbling, creating, assisting, generally playing well. The role that he's playing right now is actually a lot more suited to a real #9 like Suarez. Now...

    Luis Enrique

    My lineup would be: Suarez Neymar Messi Pedro Masche Rakitic Alba Mathieu Bartra Alves MAtS Neymar and Pedro tuck in and make it a bank of 4 alongside the midfielders without the ball. Suarez Messi Neymar Masche Rakitic Pedro Alba Mathieu Bartra Alves MAtS Basically every team in the...

    I second this.

    Good question. Mascherano should be the ball winner. In a more conventional 4-2-3-1 that doesn't emphasise short passing and midfield dominance he's a better choice than Busquets I'm afraid. His partner is not easy to pick. It would have to be someone in the mould of Gündogan. Someone who has...

    Luis Enrique

    Suarez is the hardest working player in the world. When he looks like he does "absolutely nothing when defending" it's because even Usain Bolt can't play centrally in the box with the ball and get goalside of the opponent's leftback in defensive transition without it. Scrubrique's idea to make...

    Joan Laporta

    This "Laporta was a financial fraud, Rosell was a financial genius" thing never made sense to begin with. Laporta took over in 2003 when Barca was at a historic low point. The club had not won anything for 4 straight years. When Laporta took over Barcelona's revenue numbers were below Arsenal's...

    Gerard Piqué

    I mean look at these posts. They are from Pep's time. Almost 3 years later we're still discussing the same things. Seriously? Even the "replace him with Hummels" suggestions. Nothing changed. :lol:

    Gerard Piqué

    People say he has declined because of Shakira, lost motivation and whatnot but if you rewatch some games from Pep days you can see he's been like this all the time. Difference being that attackers barely got past the midfield during prime Busqxaviesta era. But when they did he was exposed in...

    Catalunya Supercup Final: FC Barcelona - Espanyol 1-1 (4-2 pk)

    My mistake. Barca's only chance for the double this season. Let's do this. :worthy:

    Barca's only chance for silverware this season. Let's do this. :worthy:

    Luis Enrique

    The logical and factual basis is that Messi doesn't have the stamina, speed, off the ball movement and workrate anymore to play wide. More importantly - he does not want to play there. This is a player who covers about 8 km per game if he's in the mood. He didn't want it in 09/10 when Ibra was...

    Tbh you are just drawing one ridiculous lineup suggestion after another after every loss.

    Karim Benzema

    He has 40 CL goals in 67 appearances. He's scored 26, 32, 20 and 24 goals in the past 4 seasons and so far has 8 goals in 13 games. He also gets double digit assists every season. Not quite as deadly infront of goal as pure box strikers like Falcao but very pivotal in their linkup play alongside...

    Denis Suarez

    Yes. No idea what Roberto is doing in Barca's first team squad. But asking Denis freaking Suarez to be Barca's saviour is a bit ridiculous, he is promising but not even that outstanding for Sevilla.

    Luis Enrique

    Biggest mystery is why he didn't adjust his formation. These are the sort of things that make me doubt him, not the end result. Madrid was killing us from the wings because Suarez and Neymar didn't track back. It's not possible to play 4-3-3 with the wide forwards playing centrally and not...

    Luis Enrique

    Also it was evident after just 2 minutes that Barca was going to lose this game. Even after the Neymar goal. No one else seen the ridiculous distance between the lines right from the start? Reminded me of Tito's first Clasico in the Bernabeu in the Supercopa. Was never going to survive this for...

    Luis Enrique

    That's the point. Either he made the squad worse or he has a better squad and is playing worse football with it. Either way it's on him. He gets the benefit of the doubt though. Maybe he's doing a reverse Tata and sucking in the first half of the season while getting it right in the second. I...

    Luis Enrique

    Then Enrique is an idiot. He chose this squad, he could have put a stop to all the players that have left and he could have chosen different players than those that have arrived. Mathieu himself says Barca only tried so hard to get him because Enrique insisted. So what is it? He has a better...
