    Ivan Rakitić

    disagree i disagree. These stats reflect barcelona are misutilizing a very talented player. He either needs time to adjust or his role in the system needs to be altered.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    Great performance. Pedro is a natural winger really impacted the game. Stretches the field on offense. Covered very good on defense.

    Jeremy Mathieu

    This. I was really disappointed to see him substituted. The partnership was impeccable.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    The most dangerous player on the pitch. Had some good link-up play with others as well, but I really expected him to finish some of his chances. But, I believe once he figures it out, he'll put away 20 a season.

    Marc Bartra

    I strongly, agree with this. He has good ball skills as well, he should definitely be playing more.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    He worked hard as usual against APOEL. I think if Pedro leaves he will perform very well for a team in the premiership, much like Alexi Sanchez is doing for Arsenal right now.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Only 3 games in and he looks like he's been playing with the team since his younger days. MSN linked very well together, and looked dangerous through out the 2nd half. The team tactics still look unsure to me though.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    He has looked great coming on as a sub for the team. I never played pro obviously, but played competitive at the youth level. I hated coming off the bench. Adjusting to the pace of the game can be very difficult, but Pedro looked like the professional that he is. He worked hard, and looked...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Very much this. Though I thought Lucho did well in the second half, I thought Rakitic looked stifled, confused and aimless throughout the game.

    Sergio Busquets

    really lived up to the praise. He was read the opposition so well. Intercepted many balls and tackled well one-on-one. I read on another blog that Lucho figured out a way to minimize Busquets physical vulnerabilities(pace, quickness) by squeezing the space between midfield and defense. Doing...

    Pedro Rodriguez

    Pedro serves some of the best crosses I've seen this year. He definitely looks like he could be utilized in a 3-4-3 scheme. And as we all know he definitely works hard in defense and can add value to Barcelona. I don't think selling him is a good idea unless you can buy someone like...

    Ivan Rakitić

    He looked strong in the first half and at the start of the 2nd, but I didn't see him after that. He was energetic, but couldn't really link up with Rafinha or the front 3. I'm starting to think Lucho's tactics have hindered him and the other players in the midfield.

    Lliga: FC Barcelona - Celta de Vigo 0-1

    Well the cross bar was hit several times. The keeper also played amazing. The front 3 did not click too well, but usually those shots hitting the cross bar go in, and we're looking at a comfortable victory.

    Lliga: FC Barcelona - Celta de Vigo 0-1

    Well that goal was coming. The defensive shape is inconsistent from the looks of things. Man marking is questionable as well. Not a coaching genius, just someone venting on a message board right now.

    Well said Great points.

    Lliga: FC Barcelona - Celta de Vigo 0-1

    Too soon to think about firing Lucho. If you do you will be like that Billionaire owner of Chelsea; haphazard, fickle, sporadic decisions on managers and that will scare away world class coaching talent. When you pay someone you are investing in their talents and hoping it will pay off...

    Sergio Busquets

    Well stated I Couldn't have said this better. Great points but to elaborate on one thing. I think Busquets is an underrated one-on-one defender. I even underestimated him. But I've rarely seen someone dribble by him. His greatest weakness is as you said, lack of certain offensive...
