Rakitic was still anonymous with the defense minded Montoya as RB against cordaba. You seem to not be watching our games and be basing your opinions on rants about matches played back in october. And read my post again I said Messi will find himself in the position he needs to be to score and...

Messi on the wing doesnt mean much except that its his starting position, as said before he'll find himself in the positions he needs to be to score the most and assist the most. Fact of the matter is he scored 3 hattricks while playing on the wing and it does not affect his goalscoring...

Well thats not what you said, you said that we were playing abysmally BECAUSE messi was in the RW that was what i found absurd. And by flurry of goals i meant his 3 hattricks in a week.

What madness are you talking about? Messi's flurry of goals started when Lucho moved him to the RW away from the no 10 role and moved Suarez to the middle. Messi has played all but 1 game since we played Ajax the second time on the RW even on his heatmap he is shown to the right or suarez...

Yeah what I'm saying is that Messi could have the same top speed as Bale but it might not really look that way cause Messi would run at full speed for say 10 meters, while Bale will run from box to box at full speed. Bale is fast as hell but he isn't untouchable ,didnt some no name player chase...

The two AMs no longer cover the FBs as much especially Iniesta, rakitic has to do it sometimes but thats only because he has Alves as opposed to Alba, We no longer play with Messi as a 10 and he and neymar have returned to the wings, we play a completely different system than we did at the start...

Over a short distance that is plausible but Messi doesn't run for very long when he does actually run.

At first he was on the wing but ever since the Ajax game Lucho has put him in CF and moved messi to the Wing although it may not look like Messi's on the wing since half the time he's occupying a slighting right CF position.

Both Psg games

Still better than Rakitic and Xavi.

Rakitic hasn't been better than Iniesta this season, are we forgetting that the only midfielder who has made assists in big games this season was Iniesta? Xavi has been more consistent but has yet to deliver in a big game (Although he gets less chances)

:lol: Or we could've just bought Kroos instead of Rakitic.

Well whether or not they become Xavi's or iniesta's and stay at the club forever or are Cesc's /Motta's who move on isn't something statistics can predict since we have never had a point where we have had such extenuating circumstances that allow for slots in the team that may have been filled...

Your premise is flawed because it doesn't take into account the dynamics of the current squad. The chances that more than one player breaks into the squad in the next 2-3 years if very high because of 1) The transfer ban and 2) Aging/inept players currently in the squad. First and foremost Xavi...

We're not too bad off, Lucho has some good ideas that improve on where we were last season but he needs to implement those changes consistently. Also he needs to find a way to make sure Iniesta brings his A game next year, he needs to solidify iniesta-rakitic/rafinha so Messi doesn't have to...

Honestly I rather him assist in the CL than in the league if I had to choose. Another La Liga win will not improve his standings in the history of football but a fourth CL would.

That control is Xavi's signature move....

Samper is great in possession but doesn't convince at all defensively, but on another note Rubi has this team playing some amazing football, they look like barca albiet in segunda. Future coach of B team of maybe even first team?

Adama is really too good for b team now.

We're getting owned right now. :lol:
