Verratti should be an automatic starter for PSG. The guy is young but incredibly mature on the ball for his age- that work ethic too. Busquets was terrible. A few big mistakes and just plain sloppy on the ball.

Lol people crack me up. We have quite possibly the most amazing talent EVER in our team and it's ok to surround him with an aging and out of former midfield?! But it's ok...we don't want to stagnate our youth that MIGHT turn out to be good players aha hahaha we already wasted 2 years of...

Honestly he was very energetic and you could see that he had a new found confidence. He was actually all over the field, ASKING for the ball and making himself available to his teammates. I had no idea Mark Hughes rated him that much; I mean he has to rate him if Bojan is allowed that kind of...

Busquets has had like two good performances all year. Why should he be a starter?

Sometimes I wonder if I watch the same game as others. How was Mascherano so bad? Busquets and Xavi did nothing. Mascherano and Sergio in the midfield together is just the worst idea ever. Double pivot blah blah...horrible idea. Sergio is slow and offers no runs, limited vertical passing range...

I know, totally bummed me out. One of my favorite players ever, he can play anywhere in attack and is so entertaining- both with his vision, directness and goal-scoring. Would love to see him at Barca, but giving him freedom as AM in midfield is not something I think Barca would do (wouldn't be...

Alves was bad, very bad. It's also very disappointing to admit he only SEEMED better because he wasn't attacking as much and playing more defensively. Every time he touched the ball offensively it was terrible. He was always not a good crosser, but last season and especially this season they...

Iniesta will have to sit more centrally in the midfield if that is ever going to work- Busquets isn't mobile or fast enough to fill in the void in midfield that Rakitic leaves when having to cover for Dani Alves. Not the current way Lucho is running the team anyway. Busquets is also a liability...

Busquets hasn't been the same player since Pep left. he is terribly slow so he is a liability on the counters, he is tall but totally useless in the air including both corners and free kicks, and he is out muscled by any player. he was only great at defensive midfielder when Xavi and Iniesta...

I dont rate Busquets anymore, I havent in years. Good performances from him and few and far between. If playing two DM one actually DM and a more versatile player like Rakitic would be much better for me. Reus would be ideally playing centrally behind strikers...really fast which makes him an...

Suarez Ney-reus-mess Masch-rakitic alba-ginger-pique-alves Obviously id want a diff backline like no pique or alves....but not happening

I forgot we even had the ban...I'm honestly depresses we have to make due with this squad for another 1.5 season...Benatia over Vermaelen and Kroos would of made such an enormous difference

Our problem isnt with the defense atm, it's with our midfield being completely disconnected from both our defense and offense.

That made me laugh out loud. But then I got sad.

Gerrard having his boys back and pointing out what no one else wants to say. Class.

Busquets has been garbage. Rakitic has been trying to cover for both him AND Alves in midfield. Iniesta and Xavi are absolutely USELESS at pressuring in the midfield. Neymar and Suarez press, just not like how Sanchez did and how Villa/Pedro both did in the golden days. Mascherano as DM...

He won a second CL and he lost his concentration. He has seriously been getting worse every season since. He was horrendous in the preseason and yes that penalty is his fault, why the fuck does he have to slide tackle around the box all the time? The guy is 6'4, his legs are long enough to...

When your team has 80% possession and you have two wingers and fullbacks working incredibly hard (during Guardiola's prime)...your DM doesn't really have all that much to do. He did well when he was called to do something, nothing more. Never a threat on net, never a threat on corners or free...

The most overrated player we have, people will get angry, people will say "you don't know what you are talking about" but hey, that's fine. The guy was pretty good during the majority of Pep's era- but we can thank a new style of play and teams being in shock by it for that. Tall yes, but weak...

Madrid were the better team in the end, but they only dominated in the first half for about 10 minutes after we scored the first goal. Otherwise until the Penaldo, they weren't convincing at all. The ref was quick to pull a yellow on our players and didn't penalize Madrid players who did...
