He left Barca :troll: Its amazing how Rafinha currently has more hype than him.

Maradona, Pele, R9, Ronaldinho , I could go on lmao Iniesta is great and I think he's one of the best midfielders of all time and can easily be argued to be the best but there are players at his level or higher.

Might be something similar to the great Varane-Bartra debacle.

Well thats just a flat out lie, theres no way we could beat atletico if our midfield was not good. Absolutely no way.

Next in line is Suarez after him is Halilovic/Samper.

You can't say that False-9 isnt the problem or atleast part of the problem definitively as Suarez had his chances in that game due to the Midfield and he was generally horrible with his touch and close control in that game, as you say, although idk how much better sandro would actually be, a...

Yeah its not as simple as just sticking Messi on the wing but Suarez's presence occupying the CBs is a must, a false 9 in his situation would get followed and harrased more but as a true 9 Suarez is there mainly making runs as opposed to Messi trying to get on the ball and create.

I don't think False 9 would have worked against Atletico, their default technique is flood the middle and leave the wings open for hopeless crossing since their confident in their ariel ability, they'd just stick 2 midfielders and 2 cbs on him the entire game, double team Neymar and leave Pedro...

He'll need to rotate as Barcelona may be the only team of the big three fighting on three fronts by next week.

Deulofeu is not as limited as Pedro and has shown dynamism on the RW time and time again, Also Munir plays really well cutting in from wide positions.

True, thankfully we have Halilovic/Adama/Munir/Deulofeu who all thrive on the RW.

He was great but not 2010 CL semi tying spin finish goal great like he is right now.

So you're saying Lucho is the greatest coach of all time? :lucho:

If he breaks his record + wins copa/cl or both then there will really be no doubt who the GOAT is.

But Pedro is ambidextrous and has shown that he can cut in on his left so i dont understand why he doesnt do it more often.

Differing opinions of new players' performances is a common occurrence on this forum.

That used to be one of his selling points though defenders try to attack Messi/Villa then Pedro swoops in with a one touch finish and wins the game, hasnt been doing it much lately though.

FIGO

One of these days he's going to score 10 goals in a game or some shit like that.

Not saying Messi should be replaced just that with a right footed RW the CF will get the most Attention even if the Cf as Messi instead of Suarez. Also i think it's too early to say messi couldn't atleast reach close to his 2012 peak on the RW, ik its early but messi is on a 1.2 goal ratio this...
