Despite of what someone said (not sure if in this thread) that the oversaturation of midfield was bad, i actually liked the Alaves game. It was a bit chaotic and final passes finishing always somehow failed, but it felt more like a "one of those nights" thing + not yet oiled enough understanding among new and old players. ON the other hand there was this effortless flair in how we possessed (almost in demonic possession way) that i haven't seen from Barca since pep. There was always that feeling something magical could happen any moment now and they circulated the ball on pure intuition and improvisation and it still looked great. Coutinho, even if failing some final touches, did immensely with absorbing any pressure that was ditched out to him. Nor Rakitic or Poulinho ar as badass in this department. Of course, i don't think we should now play all Iniesta, Cou, Messi at the same time now, but against some opponents it can work wonders, especially with Busi and better fullbacks back.
