He has not been that complementary to our style, though he has provided us a new dimension in some ways. But such radical changes, i feel, are causing us to forget our philosophy i.e. Possession and fluidity. And that we, not always, but most of the time, keep the ball on the ground. We have been, these days, trying too bany air balls, reminiscent of EPL or Serie A. That's not what we are good at, even though that may have helped us in some of the recent classicos. We need not forget what our strengths are, and we need to play accordingly. Hope this barren spell doesn't shatter our players' confidence, because that's what i fear the most.

He keeps it simple and lets the rest of the team shine. Yaya used to be my favourite when he was with us, but nevertheless Our Tiki-taka has become lightyears quicker now, Busquets being one of the prime factors responsible for it.

Doesn't mean they have succeeded, pal. No offence.

He would feel rejuvenated.

I mean 2014 is still far.

Sat, 12 Nov 2011 06:29:11 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/matches/live-international-matches-3/#IDComment220766331 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/matches/live-international-matches-3/#IDComment220764968 Oh i forgot they have Otamendi too, as someone mentioned in one of the above posts. Sat, 12 Nov 2011 06:24:17 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/matches/live-international-matches-3/#IDComment220764968 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/matches/live-international-matches-3/#IDComment220764730 The problem with argentina, in my opinion, lies in the mentality of players. From what i see, everyone in the team is trying to be the playmaker. They should understand that there are Pastore and Messi for that purpose, and ball has to be passed to them as much as possible (like we at barca pass more often to xavi or iniesta or messi). And the mediocrity of players like demichelis and alvarez is simply unacceptable. Its high time they gave a chance to youngsters like musacchio. But with the qualifiers already started and argentina again finding themselves in deep shit, now i guess is too late to do so.

But hope he drops a little deeper to link up play and lets la pulga create his magic.

He tries to play some balls blindly in the final third. May be what he needs is just some time ... Same goes for alexis. Both of them need to calm things down. But in matches like these, we cant afford not to start with our best 11. Our midfield yestarday tried to create openings every now and then which resulted in us loosing the ball too often.

We'll see that in the el classico. ;) Sun, 6 Nov 2011 22:22:31 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/matches/the-result-athletic-bilbao-2-2-fc-barcelona/#IDComment217856032
