    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Not really, that's one issue and they played a little bit better but tactics on a whole was not very effective. Messi dropped too deep in this case and score a late winner. That's it.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    It wasnt simply a fullback issue, his formation and tactics as a whole was simply counterproductive. He used a 4231, but with Paulinho rushing up to make a variant, 4141 and Messi is used to playing as a false 9 and dropped too deep resulting in 4-5 men upfront and Messi at the back. In this...

    Luis Suárez

    Can you not read? lol. Suarez is playing the LF and LW role, the positions where Sanchez and Pedro used to play, and had he not got back his sharpness, he wouldnt function properly there and looked awkward at the start of the season. And u misunderstood the whole post. I'm not saying Messi...

    Luis Suárez

    On the contrary, false 9 is the only way Messi can allow his creativity and decision making to explode expotentially in the final third and be unpredictable at the same time. The reason he walks is to save all his energy in the final third, burst of speeds in between defence before striking the...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    I called it the moment we were hyping Coutinho as the perfect midfielder. He's actually very similar to Neymar's abilities. And he's way too attacking to strike any balance in midfield and even Valverde admitted it and say Coutinho is more of an attacking mid while Iniesta is a more complete...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    You cant play high with two attacking fullbacks in a 4231 formation, its bound to be a fucking disaster. Same with the 442 against Celta Vigo but at least Messi doesnt drop too deep. 2 CMs will be terribly isolated and cant help with defence. Eveything is too narrow at the back. 433 is the most...

    Andrés Iniesta

    Lol some people taking the piss. He was easily MOTM if not for Messi, he completed all his dribbles, made the tight spaces look like nothing, him and Messi were a class above all and the rest were shit.

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

    I'm sorry Gomes was nowhere near the DM in the 433 setup.

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

    The idea that Gomes brings stabilility is a fallacy, Gomes hasnt been more defensive than Paulinho, in fact has been more atrocious plus he was dispossessed the most in almost every game. He only has decent passing. Gomes-Raki-Coutinho-Iniesta would another suicide midfield. Gomes cant play...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    There's no way EV will drop either one of Messi or Suarez, which is why I was initially doubtful about Coutinho coming to Barca because he was not a direct replacement of Iniesta but a more attacking one. Number 2 option isnt too far fetched tbh, Messi doesnt need to be a fixed RW, he can take...

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

    Lol you are taking the piss, when we were clearly missing Busquets, only guy u think of is Gomes. U might as well replace Busquets with Gomes or Iniesta with Gomes they are inferior compared to Lord Gomes.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Very well put, too many attacking powerhouses can be a hassle instead. It really takes up Messi's free role and he got dispossessed so many times yesterday. And EV has a tendency to crowd the midfield, be it 442 or 4231 it's not looking safe at all and played so high up the opponents field with...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    For now he is a little too rigid, he rarely changes his tactics after halftime and usually just rotate the fullbacks even though the main issue was the mess in midfield. Have been saved by Messi too many times this season and really should have lost this game. Personally, 4231 with Rakitic and...

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

    Coutinho as a LM, i reckon. Suits him well. Iniesta and Coutinho will be perfect.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    I know but AM suits him better. I would also want him to be more involved in the final third. Iniesta is better at ball retention and more visionary based, while Coutinho looks to be more directly involved in the attacking front. 4231 will be perfect.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    There's a difference, Coutinho plays a more AM role while Iniesta is better at the CM role. Like jamrock said, 4231 will fit perfect for Coutinho.
