Tito has become a scapegoat by some fans (just like Rosell has) but you can't act as if he hasn't been to blame for anything. Same deal with Sanchez, Fabregas, Pedro, etc. playing off form when we needed players to be at their best. Not everything is their fault, but they're not entirely victims...

It'd just be a change between Reus and Neymar

Marquez could act like a stopper when necessary, he was a more multi-styled defender.

That's actually one of the things that I was thinking about in concern to our defenders various abilities. Since Puyol isn't considered an option for the future, I'd bid Martinez to be starter CB with Masch as backup and Pique to be starting SW with Bartra as backup. I'd give Martinez the...

- Why go now? Because he has ambition to become a much better player but he doesn't get the playing time that he should/deserves? - But was Xavi really fit? The club overplayed him so much that he was reduced to playing on painkillers, THAT'S how reluctant they were to play Thiago. And what...

Goodbye Abi :cry:

The problem is that with all the wingers there, he will be last in the pecking order. Not to mention that Tito will completely disregard him and opt for Neymar+Alexis/Pedro every single game.

:beer2:

God no........

Player for player changes won't mean much without actual changes to the tactical system. We've lost the 6 second rule, we've lost most off the ball movement during buildup play, our tiki taka has been very rare to be honest, and our wingers continue to struggle taking the scoring load off of...

Players in the world overall.

Even being part Basque, I feel absolutely no obligation to uselessly bring political disputes into football. Players don't care for that much either, and will happily serve the NT despite having Catalan or Basque blood. Even if Catalunya were to have a recognized NT, I'd support Spain since...

I wouldn't write Thiago off completely. It'll take a serious decline in Xavi's ability and an unbelievable breakout season for Thiago (with some high profile performances) to get considered by VDB but it isn't impossible. I'd tip De Gea to get picked in the squad but not start.

Yes but there's a chance Sociedad would be more willing to give us Martinez now that they have Muniesa for backup

Well thought out and great squad versatility. No good ever comes from a team having a predictable formation/tactics and yours has definitely made sure to keep the players rotated and the tactics interchangeable.

Never!!! :p

Confirmed? If so, really really smart and solid signing

Cuenca, who played on loan at Ajax since January, will have to undergo another knee operation. Expected to be out for 3-4 months. [sport] :( With all these injury problems, I'm afraid his future at Barca is likely over. Can't stay fit and will definitely not break into the team over the likes...

Mata has been given the freedom to roam, much like Messi yet are you criticizing him? No. Both of them run to their central midfielders to get the ball yet you choose to hate the one who conveniently doesn't play for the team you support. He helps everyone do their job and when he roams into...

So now it's bad to have players in different positions taking on more roles? Does total football mean nothing? Everton isn't the best technical team obviously but to say that their play is completely unstructured and wild is just wrong.
