I think Matheiu on form beats him right now but then again He hasnt been given enough playing time to be sure. The only thing masch has on him is expirence now though, since Bartra has been working on his distribution and can hit long balls to wingers perfectly now.

Exactly, for the majority of the time Bartra doesnt have to go down on the ground to make a tackle, he's always able to poke his foot in and get the ball without getting the slip.

I agree with this, mainly because cr will look like a god thrashing minnows but hasnt scored an important goal in a final or semi final since he was at man u.

Zidane hype is unreal, he shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as maradona.

Thats what happened in the second half and Suarez aside from finishing played much better and was way more involved, only problem is messi was on the ball less, but i'll attribute that to it the team needing to get accustomed to the formation.

Aside from his ability he has the drive and ambition that is missing from our other players dont have after years of winning too much (Even when they play badly they're used to be being close to winning trophies or wining them), thats what he brings, thats why Pique would have never made that...

We seem to have more control when Iniesta is on form and playing (like the last Ajax game) i think that may be due to the fact that he links up with Neymar better than Xavi so he has more options when passing. Montoya needs a run out so atleast Rakitic doesnt have to worry about being on the...

On the upside he still has great close control/ dribbling my commentator thought it was Messi when he dribbled past 2 players.

I've been saying we should play Messi as a false winger for a while now, might as well just have no RW and call it a day.

Messi gives us the ability to be untouchable when we're at our best, and even when we play badly we look like a good team because of him, without him we will probably never be untouchable but we would still be a top team.

Doing what he does bst, pressing, wall passes, quick fast balls to messi, all he needs now is his one touch finishing.

Great game from Bartra, hope this shows Lucho that he's worth a shot.

Bartra isnt a speedster like the Super Ginger but he has great sustained pace.

I'd like montoya to be given more time, simply because unlike Alves he'll run back so Rakitic can spend more time trying to link up with iniesta.

Di Maria is an amazing CM, is wasted on the wing.

If our forwards actually finished nobody would be talking badly about him right now :lol: can't blame him if everyone just decides not to score.

I thought he played welll good distribution down the wings to neymar and suarez and good pressing.

He played like 10 mins against AJAX and got an assist, so i think he'll be fine, might not be a world beater but I won't be surprised if he as an assist or maybe even a goal.

True, and rafinha will probably make up for Busi's lack of pace in getting back to defend.

That is true but he also plays CDM better than Busi atm so it would've been better imo to have Bartra in Defense and Masch in midfield
