Busquets last few games after Gomes dropped has looked like his old self... jesus what a clear difference it has made. Also great to see Rakatic back and starting last few games, we've looked much better.

Rakatic and Rafinha should be ahead of Denis and Gomes. Yet somehow when we were in that 2 month funk Gomes was starting just about every single game instead of the other 3. Notice Gomes isn't starting and the team looks brand new

Rakitic is the key to this team. Even when we played poor, with him on the field we managed to get results:
With Rakitic:
Barça 1 Evil 0
Atletico 0 - Barça 2
Barça 1 Atletico 0
PSG 0 Barça 0

Still don't understand why he was sidelined by Lucho.

by BarcaLearning Wed Mar 08, 2017 8:10 am

Whats happened with Turan lately? Is he injured? He had a good run a little while back and havent seen him since?

What about Iniesta, his form has dipped, but I never would have thought he'd drop out of favour this fast.

What a ridiculous week.

by Myesyats Sun Mar 12, 2017 5:15 pm

ffs Messi if you dont want to play then ask for a change and not slow down every attack pls

He surely can't be tired as he barely runs every game. What is it then?

by BarcaLearning Sun Mar 12, 2017 5:27 pm

Im not that surprised but Im more angry how we perform and especially for Enrique leaving NEymar and Rafinha at home, clearly underestimating Depor, or at least thats what the commentator said. Anyone know otherwise?

Messi's performance was the worst of the season, cant believe he seemed so hungover. The rest of the guys just couldnt step up. Iniesta is past it. Mascherano is the same old liability and its frustrating to watch him concede another crucial goal for us.

by Kebab Sun Mar 12, 2017 6:03 pm

Messi was just one of 11 flopped players. Nobody played better than him. He ran his ass off vs psg and for a player who doesnt run much it was a hard work. Today it showed.
Enrique is the reason for the loss. Its important away game and he rested 5 first team players. He does same mistakes again and again. Why they needed rest?

Deportivo also played good. They scored two goals out two chances. Barca scored 1 goal out of 5 chances. When this happens nothing can save you except God

I think you are mistaking Messi for Neymar.

by windkick Sun Mar 12, 2017 6:34 pm

Seems like if we don't start Umtiti + Pique or start Gomes (or anything of those combinations) and we get a bad result.

by windkick Sun Mar 12, 2017 6:35 pm

Neymar and Rafinha were both sick for those wondering.

by windkick Sun Mar 12, 2017 6:36 pm

Neymar had a knock he was recovering from, from the PSG match and Rafinha had a stomach virus

by Harmonica Sun Mar 12, 2017 6:47 pm

Neymar had his sisters birthday party 3rd year in a row.

by windkick Sun Mar 12, 2017 6:51 pm

Holy shit that's ridiculous if true. What an ass.

by BarcaLearning Sun Mar 12, 2017 8:16 pm

So they were unfit for sure? Then the rotation is justified then... but thing is Enrique has failed to get the backup players to be good enough for us, maybe a bit harsh but look at Reals backup players they deliver when given the chance.

by Bankz Sun Mar 12, 2017 9:26 pm

@windkick, do u have to believe everything u read? Lol, Neymar had a muscle knock in his left leg and therefore couldn't play, his sister's birthday was 2 days ago. Do u think barca would ordinarily allow him to go to brazil without a suspension? Or have to LIE ABOUT THE MUSCLE KNOCK just so neymar can attend his sisters birthday party? All just so they can please lord reymar? Yet no reputable media outlet reported about it? why dont you do the research yourself, google is your friend as you're not new to the internet. Hamonica probably has an agenda to messi's greatest threat and you should have kown it by now. Use your head.

This is why it's so easy to brainwash people.

Lol, and this proves that neymar is in brazil now? Yes he attended 2 years ago and last year and the media duly reported bout it but this year, he is clearly injured with a knock. So i'm looking for sources/proofs to show neymar attended the sisters party in brazil cause all what has been reported was that he is injured along with rafinha. If they reported bout it for the last years, whats stopping them from doing so now. I'm waiting.....Patiently.

He played in all the games around his sisters birthday in the preceding years. I think you misunderstood my post Laughing

That's why I posted the match line ups on the equivalent days for 2014, 15 and 16. It smells like BS to me.

3-4-3 games are much more entertaining, definitely. This way, we are very vulnerable to counter-attacks though. If that can be improved, this set-up is without a doubt the best one.

Also, Neymar :bow:

What a beast he is. With him the game looks so much better. It was obvious when was absent against Deportivo.

by Myesyats Sun Apr 02, 2017 9:49 pm

Neymar is so good, much more enjoyable to watch than Messi these days. If this guy was less focused on partying and dabbing, he'd have already won a balon d'or

by Winter is Coming Mon Apr 03, 2017 5:18 am

I've been impressed with Paco recently, slowly, but he seems to be improving and adjusting to the system and doing what we need our striker to do.
