    Lliga | Round 21: FC Barcelona - Alaves 2-1

    I admit that this is a risky line-up. But if Messi, Busquets Alba and, to a lesser extent, Rakitic don't rest right now when will they ? I would actually prefer putting Iniesta instead of Suarez but will he be fully fit if he plays 60 minutes against Alaves ? Or shall he better play 30...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Definitely brought interesting changes but let's wait the Chelsea games until we may have a more concrete judgement of his work. Barca's 4-4-2 is very efficient but their game with the ball can still be improven. I like Vlaverde's "insightful pragmatism". He seems to know what he's doing.

    Copa | Quarterfinal: FC Barcelona - Espanyol 2-1 agg.

    Don't want to differ with Barc's current tactical approach just for the sake of it, I think that Valverde's 4-4-2 is amazingly efficient and makes Barca less predictable. However, the team's possession game has shown some signs of weaknesses that could have heavy consequences in big fixture at...

    Lliga | Round 27: Deportivo de La Coruña - FC Barcelona 2-1

    So I hope now : Ter Stegen Mascherano-0-0-Piqué-0-0-Alba 0-0-0-0-0-0-0 0-0-0-Busquets-0-0-0 0-Roberto-0-0-0-Iniesta-0 Denis-0-0-Messi-0-0-Arda 0-0-0-Suarez-0-0-0 0-0-0-0-0-0-0 The Denis-Roberto-Messi trio has some potential. I have few doubts about it !

    Luis Enrique

    Can't think of a "sure value" right now to replace Lucho I like Sampaoli's philosophy but he's not from the "school" Xavi would be a great shocker and a massive risk at the moment Tuchel ? Can he adapt to a new and quite different footbalistic culture despite his offensive-oriented philosophy...

    Lliga | Round 27: Deportivo de La Coruña - FC Barcelona 2-1

    One question that we should definitely ask ourselves is if we still want to play, at times, with the 4-3-3 system against some Liga teams ? It's always good to have 2-3 systems that we can easily navigae between but this could require some time. I would suggest we still build on the versatile...

    The only thing that remains to those that have heavily criticized, if not been insulting, Lucho and who do not recognize that they were, at least , to some extent, wrong is to eat their words... E

    CL | Round of 16 - 2nd Leg: FC Barcelona - Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 (6-5 agg.)

    Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Pedro, Alves...who ?? :coffee: MSN alone won't do anything even they're pumped up. The whole team has to be on it with the right tactics and gameplan. Just as under Pep, Tito etc....

    CL | Round of 16 - 2nd Leg: FC Barcelona - Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 (6-5 agg.)

    I still believe in it and I think the players want it Ter Stegen Pique-0-0-Umtiti-0-0-Alba 0-0-0-Busquets-0-0-0 0-Roberto-0-0-0-Iniesta-0 Rafinha-0-0-0-0-0-Neymar 0-0-Messi-0-0-0-0 0-0-0-Suarez-0-0-0 0-0-0-0-0-0-0 I guess Lucho mut almost certainly have several different ideas in mind. And...

    Lliga | Round 26: FC Barcelona - Celta Vigo 5-0

    Once again, the choices that will be made will be decisive. I'd play with the best defence possible so they practice for the Paris game : Ter Stegen Piqué-0-0-Umtiti-0-0-Mascherano 0-0-0-0-0-0-0 0-0-Busquets-0-0-0-0 0-0-0-0-Iniesta-0-0 Denis-0-0-0-0-0-Alba 0-0-Messi-0-0-0-Neymar 0-0-Suarez-0-0-0-0

    Luis Enrique

    I wish Lucho made these changes ( 3-4-3) a few months before but its better late than never and so was it meant to be , period. There were some very encouraging moments but this new system has to be fine-tuned defensively on the flanks. I had the impression this team has a huge potential...

    Lliga | Round 25: FC Barcelona - Sporting de Gijón 6-1

    Time to find the right balance between building on the game vs Atletico and resting players that need to be properly rested. Would like to see the following line-up, and shall it not work we can go back to the 4-3-3 : Ter Stegen Mascherano-0-0-Piqué-0-0-Umtiti 0-0-0-0-0-0-0...

    Liga | Round 24: Atlético de Madrid vs. FC Barcelona 1-2

    The ball seemed to be very heavy/slow. Don't expect this Barca to play legendary football under these conditions
