luis enrique should give the 3 of them freedom up front simple. let them just understand themselves and adjust to suit one another for the good of the team. that would be a bit fair on messi. but if he decides to give suarez a permanent centre forward position, he would be sowing a seed of discord.
Fair enough... It's better for them to interchange every now and then to suit to the team and each individual. Playing Messi still on the false 9 position wouldn't be odd as it were, but let's face it, it will definitely hamper and lessen other forwards' impact. Ney thriving this season ain't just about adaptation, but also about the freedom to drift to the centre forward position when needed (as opposed to last season that he was always playing wide, plus Lucho prefers his forwards to play it narrowly and thereby allowing the fullbacks to occupy the flanks). On the flip side, saying Messi shouldn't be used in that position at all might not end up well.

Besides, our formation now is a bit different from other years. Though same 4-3-3, but with a variant on the front 3. That is, 4-3-1-2, with Messi playing behind them front two. He has been playing in that position thus far. Moreover, he has the freedom to roam anywhere on the pitch as the coach has given him the freedom to do so. The other forwards (or players) just need to time his movements and runs to not run into eachother when he decides to take on players himself.

i saw that messi miss again, infact i saw it better and truthfully speaking, messi was the number one reason we lost. that was supposed to be 2-0. he had no right to miss that!

At all... I no sure say I don see this kind childish display on this thread before. Too absurd to say the least. At the end of the day the people wey dey involved (Club and players) dey there dey flex. People dey here dey call eachother names. Imagine wey I dey vex as Barca dey play, Iniesta get appetite to drink orange-drink. Whereas, I go dey here lose appetite to chop. That moment wey I see that thing I give myself brain once.

The players (both the ones wey win and the ones wey lose) fit even go club together sef. People go dey here dey insult eachother. Balderdash!

Hmmm! embarassed

"I see so many analysts in the house"... grin

I wish people can be reasonable when they analyze football but I notice people are bias instead... angry

Whether I like Messi or not, I will say nothing but the truth... angry

The best player on the field definitely was "ISCO" while on the other hand, "BRAVO" was our best player, with due respect to Valdez, if Valdez was in last night's match, we would probably concede as many as 5, 6 or 7 goals shocked not saying he is not that good but rather pointing out how special bravo was last night considering how poor the defence was... embarassed

Like someone said earlier, pique lost his credibility a few years back & he has depreciated ever since... angry

Dani alves, I have pushed for his sale but seeing him play for barca still baffles me... angry --- He is "done"... grin

Mathieu should never be played as a left back again (but only as a CB), whether he did that @ Valencia or not is not my biz... angry

Jodi Alba should be allowed to start @ his favorite position (LB)... cool

Mascherano still plays better than Pique even when played as a false CB but should be allowed to play his favorite position (DM) not a CB again except on emergency cases... angry

Busquets or biscuit is just recovering from injury yet I still don't trust him whether fully fit or not for a game like this with his poor performances in recent years since he has no one to compete with (Song was never a competitor!). He needs to alternate with Mascherano for the DM position & Mascherano should be preferred to play in a game this "physical". tongue

Xavi with due respect, he has paid his dues & he needs a break! cool

Iniesta Iniesta Iniesta!!! What an ironic "through pass"? grin Obviously, his performances in the past 2 seasons have been questionable although still reliable but not like we are used to... embarassed

"Messi alias Chairman" Honestly, I can't blame him cos without him, I doubt many "so called barca fans" would be fans today... lipsrsealed
But I don't understand why he usually feels undisturbed anytime he looses the ball & instead of getting the ball back, he instead looks away like his colleagues are meant to do the rest while he watches which I don't like... angry Although, it is sad to say but Messi is not the messi we are all used to... embarassed

Neymar aside from the goal he scored seemed clueless... tongue Anyway, still has a lot left in his tank... grin

Suarez my favorite! grin --- Just coming out of suspension after months of "temporary lay-off" --- Trust me, he will be back with a vengeance... angry grin

Once again! I congratulate Real Madrid & their fans for such a Victory... cool

On a last note, we are the only "top team" I know that refuses to produce a decent bench for the past 6 seasons... angry

Imagine Pedro for Suarez or Roberto for Iniesta... embarassed

Indeed that match did not meet my expectation at all, as i watched the match my heart sank lower, the pace of the team was slow, it appeared to me the team lacked motivation, lack of ideas when going forward. in fact these barcelona was strange to me, the classico i used to know was entertaining,intense and enjoyable. I did not enjoy this match.
God bless you.

No nah... Haba! Make we see true talk am na. Make we no say because we lose then we wan pour our anger on just anyone. That won't be fair. He switched off at some point like I stated earlier on, but that is not to say he flopped. No one even made mention of Messi who was invisible for the most part. Sentiments if you ask me.

Not Mascherano's fault per say, it's that of the coach for playing him in the heart of defence instead of playing him as a 4, we have seen him Excell as a 4 than a 5 or 6, best bet would have been alves, pique, Matthieu and Alba with xavi, Mascherano and rakitic in the midfield, this would have stabilized the game.

Iniesta would have been used as a sub for xavi.

Sucks!
Okay that's understandable. I was wondering cause Masche had a great game for his part. The coach is obviously to blame for the defeat.

yes he did not want to lose, he showed fighting spirit, but he kept giving the ball away, misplaced passes, poor touches, he did not track back, his link up play was poor, he wanted to do it on his own, he was poor to me, matched only by pique and mathieu
I would count at least 6 players that flopped before him including Messi. And he is still the flop alongside Pique? I respect your opinion though.

look at what he has done in the past for us na ...does he merit this....?? na wa oooo

all our defenders are to be blamed..... but not our strikers....Messi played well....because we lost don't mean he played badly......
I am still trying to comprehend why someone would say Neymar flopped. Yeah he switched off sometimes, but c'mon, when the spirit in the players were already dead, it was Neymar that was still making runs and trying to create something out of nothing. No one is saying Messi flopped, it's Neymar abi? That's semtimental if you ask me.

Stop trying to exonerate Iniesta, he was poo! Messi even ended up playing part of his role. he was not existing at all.

All the same, we lost. the coach should go and learn how to select players accordingly and also read matches like an expert.

Stop blaming Xavi, he was more effective than Iniesta, it took me almost the who half to spot Iniesta.

he cost us a goal too just like pique.
Why would someone blame Xavi much when the coach already knew? Iniesta? Right from the get go, he disappeared. Dang!

I don't think we lost the game to tactics, it was very useless errors!
that 3rd goal was the most embarrassing! #Déjà vu
Even the tactics... You don't play a team like Madrid and you decide to leave the flanks open. They will purnish the heck outta you. This same thing happened against PSG and repeated itself. Marcelo had one of his best performances tonight because of how open Alves' wing was. Did you notice in the first half how Isco would play a long ball across the field just to make sure they utilise Alves' wing?

Can you remember how Martino approached the league Classics last year? He had to shut the flanks and thereby making Ronaldo and Bale redundant. And if you remember correctly, in both league matches last season, Ronaldo and Bale played absolutely nothing because an instruction was given to the fullbacks not to make overlapping runs. No overlapping runs with a ream like Madrid. They will purnish you.

And Lucho seems to be a big fan of fullbacks moving high up. I told my brother yesterday that Ronaldo and co would have a great day today because of Lucho's approach.

Flops of the day:

Iniesta
Pique
Busquet

These 3 killed the game especially Iniesta that was invisible.

Then the yeye coach starting 3 players in wrong positions and not knowing how to read the game.
I'm not dropping this because we lost, but Lucho is not tactically versatile. I have observed our game time and time again, and whether we choose to admit it or not, we are still on auto-run. Although he is doing great in terms of discipline and motivating the players. But in this match, we lost motivation, tactical discipline, wrong personnel, players playing at odd positions, and the general technique and tactics of the game.

We need to be less arrogant too. Saying you don't have to change your play or style because you are playing Team A or Team B is wrong. As a coach, you should be able to add tactical variety to your game. We have counter-attacking situations, and we slow the heck outta them. As fair as Martino was, he brought variety to the team play, albeit the players, the fans and the club never accepted it. And oddly, he reverted back to what they (or we) were used to, and that was how our last season's performances took a downward trend.

I thought Lucho liked fast-pace games. But... Smh...

This coach is not tactical at all, just noise. What could be his decision to play Mathieu at LB and Xavi in place of Rakitic? Xavi lacks the energy and pace to cope with a fast playing team like Madrid.. This is a game I expect us to win and control the ball better, but we've hardly linked up any decent play so far. Suarez has seen very little of the ball and that is coming from an opposition playing with 2 CMF.

We're likely to lose this game as Madrid are way better than us. They have the midfield.

And Pique3? I've always shown him sympathy and defended him, but from this moment, that clown should never done a barca jersey.
I have always said it... Pique is gone. Since 2010 that Pique started out with Shakira, his form and general gameplay has taken a nose dive. Imagine a defender like Pique putting on the Barca shirt. Someone that would be benched if he were playing at a mid-table club. Smh for Barca...

Anyways, força Barca.
