Neto---Dest, Araujo, Lenglet, Alba---FDJ, Busi, Bob---Griezmann, Depay, GOAT

I don't mind Roberto in midfield (so far), but a bit more creativity would be nice. Fingers crossed for Gavi or Demir. Maybe the latter instead of Braithwaite as well.

We should really win this... 7 pts after such 3 games would be a great deal.

Robert in midfield is fine, but instead of Busquets. Not next to him.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

It will be extremely tough to score vs Getafe. Expect close game, 2-1, 1-0, 1-1 type of result.

 

[Gari]

Getafe was stronger than Sevilla, but Sevilla won. Both clubs played very weak. We must win.

 

[CatalinR10]

barca to win 3-1

 

[serghei]

Should win it fairly easy. Getafe lack speed upfront which is what we have problems with.

Neto---Dest, Araujo, Lenglet, Alba---FDJ, Busi, Bob---Griezmann, Depay, GOAT

I agree with the lineup, but I hope it's Memphis from the left and Martin through the middle

Exact same projected lineup except Pique and Garcia out (injured, suspended). Can Koeman get a clue? All other top clubs do heavy rotations and not even the best players have guaranteed spots. In our club players like Dest/washed Busi/Roberto/Griezmann in terrible form are undroppable.

As I see it the only 'undroppable' players we have are Depay/De Jong/Pedri (excluding rest/injury/indisposition). And even then the first two are known to have leaps and dips in form over their seasons. Seriously, competition for places is healthy, in Koeman's squads you either don't play a minute or start every game it seems.

I would like to see Griezmann in the false 9 position with Depay on the LW and either the GOAT or Demir on the RW

1) We have a game a week - no need for rotations.
2) We virtually have no depth.
3) What about Pedri? He's out. That's "rotation".

Pedri is not being dropped because of bad form or competition it's because he desperately needs a rest, I clarified my post above. I mean that there should be competition for places.

Our only transfer fee this year was Emerson and after 2 games where Dest has been very lacklustre I'd like to see him start.
