Well after the purchase of Song, I'm willing to bet that Mascherano playing as a midfielder is completely off the table unless there is some wild injury concern. Masch is our Puyol backup these days and I wonder how many more errors he's gonna have to make for Bartra or Muniesa to get a chance.

If he's missed training again, then I think there is some factor of fatigue in play. After all if I'm not mistaken he has missed training a couple times in the past month due to injury worries after/during games. He deserves some rest as he's been rigorously worked through all of our hard...

That's a pretty rash thing to say. Changing the system entirely is off the table right now as we have had some pretty hard fixtures recently and we're entering the most vital part of the season. We can only rotate the squad in easier games and I doubt they will experiment with tactics until La...

Hard to compare really. Thiago is obviously the best option right now because he's proven at the highest stage and continues to improve despite the rigors of the first team. Deulo is a secondary option because he's still unbelievably raw and doesn't play for the first team. His potential is...

Well in truth that's because of the lack of strength in the wings right now. Iniesta's kind of tamed/fatigued right now and therefore in midfield more often and Pedro in the last few matches hasn't been doing well. Once they do pick up, we will play from the wings more often and therefore...

Are you joking.... Do you not know that the basis of Barcelona's entire philosiphy is to roam around and switch positions while linking up? Just because we're going through a slump in form doesn't mean that there is something wrong with the system. Iniesta and Cesc are not having an issue of...

Well this seasons Messi is closer to last season than to the 10/11 season. Last season he started reaching the heights of immortality and he's continuing that right now. Obviously his season won't play out the exact same way as last season though. I expect that when the team climbs out of this...

No. Pedro has been bad alongside with the team as a whole but Sanchez is just a standout kind of bad. I want Sanchez to play next game to rest Pedro but in no way has he been better than him.

Very lively and involved throughout the entire match. Great work against his old club

Don't be so cynical guys. He came on with 20 minutes when the entire team was lackluster and unmotivated. He too was short on confidence because of sitting on the bench for a big portion of the night.

Messi had a decent game today. No need to bash on him because Valencia's defense was rock solid.

Good job Valdes, MOTM. This is gonna ensure his NT chance.

Valdes Alba Messi

Doubt it, Montoya seems very disciplined and hard working. Same with Tello. I'd say that Roura doesn't want to risk playing youngsters while Tito is away.

Dunno, he's Ibra.

Barcelona 3-1 Valencia

Words from the agent of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mino Raiola Could Ibrahimovic return to Juve? Nothing is impossible. There is nothing that cannot be done. However, the Bianconeri would really have to believe that a deal is possible, just like AC Milan did with Mario Balotelli. Let's not get ahead...

Doesn't Traore play for the Spanish u-17 team? I think he definitely should stay with Juvenil A for another season and then maybe spend 2 seasons in Barcelona B before getting promoted to the first team (under the assumption that he continues to impress).

I know that's the worst part. The B team is in bad condition and all the youngsters aren't flourishing and their development is stunted. However he just gets by with results and doesn't apply the Barcelona philosophy.
