    CL | Round of 16 - 1st Leg: PSG - FC Barcelona 4-0

    Barca should go full force on them eventhough it's an away game TStg --Piqué--Mathieu-- S.R--------------Alba --------Sergio-------- --Gomes------Iniesta- ----------MSN---------- I'd prefer a well rested Mathieu than Umtiti playing with a handicap.

    Luis Enrique

    I totally see where you're coming from but there is a huge difference between exchanging ideas and building-up well grounded criticism and hating. What I am deploring is some venomous hate despite some major changes that cannot allow Barca to play like under Pep. ... far worse, this hate...

    Luis Enrique

    Everyone now has an opinion, everyone is a tactical expert, everyone knows better yet nobody is qualified to do the job and ,very probably, nobody in this forum will ever train a top team (unless someone is hiding here lol) The current situation seems to be a natural consequence of changes we...

    Liga | Round 22: Deportivo Alavés vs. FC Barcelona 0-6

    Thinking about it again there should be only 2 days to rest before the game in Paris. It wouldn't be bad to actually rotate but Iniesta and Busquets need to play at least 30 minutes imo

    André Gomes

    Solid Gomes from Suarez's goal clearly, some members do not watch the same game...

    Luis Enrique

    It's fully understandable to complain about Barca losing their playing culture but it started the day Rakitic ( who played well in his first season) and maybe, to a lesser extent Suarez established themselves in Barca's 11. Enrique is doing what he is supposed to do with the resources he has...

    Copa | Semi-final 2nd leg: FC Barcelona - Atlético de Madrid 1-1 (3-2 agg.)

    I am not predicting any formation nor am I saying that we should use these formations more often. I just think that given the context , it could be very rewarding to put Atletico under offensive pressure as they must score quite early

    Lliga | Round 21: FC Barcelona - Athletic Bilbao 3-0

    I, personally, was very satisfied with Barca's performance considering the circumstances. We made a silly mistake at the very beginning but the team was very disciplined and got rewarded for its efforts imo. I would love to see a similar line-up at the Camp Nou.

    Lliga | Round 21: FC Barcelona - Athletic Bilbao 3-0

    I am quite happy with this line-up ! I just hope Messi scores early and can get a well deserved rest by getting subbed off If Arda plays on the right side , I would fancy seeing him switching with Messi. That could work well ! I really think Lucho fairly knows what he's trying to do. Suarez...

    Luis Enrique

    I must be one of the strongest advocates of tiki-taka playing style in this forum and there is no player who made me love football more than Xavi. I am still regretting his departure nowadays. Also, I am just a regular supporter , far from being an expert in football. We must be realistic if we...

    Copa | Semi-final 1st leg: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-2

    We don't need to go into a physical war again. Defensive stability is key at the moment. I can't believe I am saying this, being a huge advocate of possession football, but it's time to be realistic and become more unpredictable with the absences of Busquets and Iniesta. Rafinha could be...

    Copa | Semi-final 1st leg: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-2

    If Rakitic plays like Rakitic this could be good ! Time for Gomes to prove himself. I am optimistic about this game.

    Copa | Semi-final 1st leg: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-2

    Interesting formation but Denis at this position is dangerous vs Atletico in my opinion. I would put Gomes or Denis instead of Rakitic who hasn't convinced me at all this season.

    Copa | Semi-final 1st leg: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-2

    Just to mean that Denis can go wide when Messi penetrates the midfield in order to find spaces when he smoothly sets up the build-up and Gomes may play also as the second pivot if/when Atletico is pressing. it could also be put as ---------Mascherano--------- ---Denis-----------Gomes---...

    Copa | Semi-final 1st leg: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 1-2

    Key, in my opinion, will be the midfield : how it adapts to Atletico pressing, how it stabilizes itsel etc... I want to leave you with this brilliant analysis of El Cholo's defensive tactics vs Barcelona last season : It's time for Gomes and Denis to step up !
