Busi-Pjanic...dynamic duo

Puig adds the speed.

 

[JamDav1982]

Busi and Pjanic actually looked decent in games played together.

Guessing after what happened with Bob, Koeman is being careful with Dest.

 

[Richard.H]

This should be a good opportunity for Puig since Betis likes to attack and leaves space in the middle usually.

 

[Vilarrubi]

Can see us struggling and having to bring Messi on. Happy to be proven wrong.

Would say that is to be expected at this point.

Massive rotation and just played 120 mins midweek for lot of them.

 

[serghei]

I'll take a draw here personally.

 

[ContraryIan]

This is going to be punishing to watch. Draw or defeat.

 

[serghei]

Let's see if we have a solid squad. Betis away is no joke.

 

[Horatio]

They have added hair to Braithwaite. Interesting. Might just be the thing to win us the match.

Koeman

Great decisions. Grounded and realistic. We'll get burned out and get trashed by PSG with no rest at all.

I'm sure had we drawn Levante, we'd have fielded a stronger 11 here.

We are playing with subs so that we can play with our starting 11 in the Copa Del Ray game .. what has become of us?! Lol

Copa is not that easy. Plenty of traps away from home against hard-working teams who fight till the end. If we win Copa, with the progress we made with several players, this season is a good one.

Last season we won nothing, and got stuffed 8-2, so... we're actually progressing while rebuilding and having no money.

 

[mc_lovin]

Very happy with Koemans choices recently.

Bar?a's bench: Neto, Arnau Tenas, Dest, Pedri, Messi, Trinc?o, Matheus, De Jong, Umtiti, Junior Firpo
Alfred Schreuder (assistant coach) "We have played eleven games this January, 10 away, and we need to refresh the team." "We hope that the two teams will fight to have the ball, whoever manages to dominate will have many options to win the match despite accumulated fatigue." "During the season, Riqui Puig hasn't had many opportunities, but he has won playing time and the midfield, with Pjanic and Busquets is balanced.
