Perhaps Tito will have a slightly lesser obsession with possession and be slightly more inclined to more direct play. Next season seems so far away

Sorry sam but the barcelona i support wouldn't sell someone that's given his life to the club for any amount of money, especially if said player wants to retire at the camp nou, and especially not if he's a barca legend.

I said thiago on the left because not too long ago i saw him play out wide and was decent.. however both tello and cuenca seem to have tremendous talent beating players and putting in crosses. I suppose the hunger is also there to cement a first team spot. but ultimately the key is to have iniesta and messi centralized.. our best players on the ball, best at subtle one two's, delicate chips, extraordinary vision. imagine how the two of them playing f 9 and 10 could wreak havoc

<img src="http://i.imgur.com/aFHQP.png" /> Iniesta in cesc's role and thiago on the left. cesc should slowly take over xavi's role until xavi retires

some thoughts : i do miss having the option of villa on the bench.. but truth be told.. villa's role in the national team is more suited to him. his strength is taking a first touch and shooting, with either foot. his passing game hadn't really been up to standard, and it was holding barca back a bit. i agree that we are too Messi dependent. Pep's next move? If you recall, messi was brought into a false 9 role because Pep wanted him to drop deep, and be more central, and have the ball at his feet more often. I think Pep needs to do something similar with Don Andres. After Messi, Iniesta is the best with the ball at his feet. i feel he needs to play in the "cesc" role. And im not just saying this because Cesc himself has had a bad run of games in his cesc role. Its because iniesta has the quality to pull it off every game every 4 days.

As much as I think that's an awesome albeit swine-ish idea, Pep wouldn't go for it

And by untrained eye, you mean a non footballing brain. When the boss(Pep) instructs Messi to play a certain role, he does so. 100%. Everytime. Threy probably think that goal scoring is the measure of his success, but they're wrong. Against madrid he did all he needed to. Instead of being hacked all game he was playing a deeper lying role, being accompanied by more than 1 defender at all times, chipping sexy passes into space after dragging and distracting defenders. He's just fine.

In theory, 3-4-3 is brilliant. To implement it well, is another story. But then some years ago, there was the theory of tiki taka in 4-3-3 which had its own difficulties in being implemented. Look how that turned out.
