nathaniel007:
vidal absent from matchday squad

darkenedrebel:
No Alba, No S.Roberto; Busquets' been having a tough spell lately, Vidal's having trouble with fitting into our pattern of play; Masherano's just returning from international break; Barça dropping points in three matches in a row with only eight games into the season, and there is also the problem of rotation of the squad and ensuring the players are well rested to face City in CL.

Deportivo is a must win. At least the MSN trident are back to break fallow grounds, though I suspect Enrique may decide to rest Messi and probably introduce him around the 60th minute – an unwise gamble I would say.

I prefer we try out MNP – Messi, Neymar, Paco Alcacer, then have Suarez introduced at the start of the second half. Or have Messi play in the false 9 role, while Neymar and Rafinha play from the flanks, with Messi occasional dropping deep to create spaces with his runs and passes. A Messi, Neymar, Arda Turan would suffice as well.

In the middle of the park, we should try out an Iniesta, Rakitic and Suarez Dennis combination, in order to rest Busi ahead of City. Or we could pair Rakitic with Gomez to play side-by-side in the holding midfield position, while Iniesta handles central and attacking midfield.

Our defense is my biggest headache given Mathieu's ineptitude and the fact of Masherano being marginally rested.

A front three of neymar, paco and rafinha will be okay.



Maybe three at the back.

Vidal not in the match day squad list.

Is Enrique going with a back 3?

I swear to God if I see Mathieu for line-up.

Last two games against Deportivo at the Camp Nou ended in a 2-2 draw.

Mathieu and Mascherano

In a 3man back line

We are conceding 3.
