I don’t care about song, it’s yaya we are talking about here. Vincente had to just continue with that Barca three in Spanish team but Alonso was still the main guy in that DM go check stats. Yaya toure won ucl with Barca if you don’t know, he was a beast in that season. If yaya continue with barca they would’ve still won those trophies, bousq didn’t change anything, it’s just the way pep like playing, his believe is that as far as you don’t dispossess the ball no need for tackle. Yaya was doing it all; defense, attack and dictating play, he is an all round midfielder.

Ibime:


Busquets made his Barca debut in 2009.

Which one you dey sef

I have said that most of those Barca players are run on narrative. This one probably thinks Busquets follow for Euro 2008 and UCL 2009 win. Xavi done bless a lot of scrubs sha

swiz123:


Ibime was convincing everyone who cared to listen that being dribbled like a mofo is an evidence of a players style of play. Going by his metric, Xabi is a born tackler whose game relies on his combative nature than intelligence on the ball.

Kilishihunter:

I wrote displaced busquets as a starter? If Alonso played in the Spanish midfield, busquets must be there, while iniesta was pushed to the wings, And isn't that true, wasn't it not from the 2010 world cup he started functioning fully in that midfield, could he bench busquets in euros 2008 despite his valid performances for Liverpool?

Kilishihunter:

No me I care about song, because you people believe every midfielder would have excelled so far they were playing with xavi and iniesta, Didn't xabi play under pep at bayern too? Why didn't he also get better results there too since he was the main guy in that spanish DM role? And in Euro 2008 busquets was preferred ahead of Marcos Senna and xabi Alonso Had barcelona reached their level of massive domination under pep in 2008 or the next season?

hensben:
Were you see bousq for 2008 wey him go displace srnna. You are hyping bousq too much.

hensben:
Can you explain Barca other big margin defeat with bousq. Baba this question nor hold water.

If na by combative DM Africans for dey do well in the world cup .

BlueAngel444:
Chelsea is so blessed to have both Mount and Havertz playing in the same team

Kilishihunter:

Yeah it's not 2008 It's 2010 WC, I've corrected my huge error, Bro this one no be hype, na fact, no fraud won't be found out while playing alongside xavi and iniesta Many of you are just using Barca's recent humiliations in the UCL as your basis as leverage to downplay his technique

hensben:
Make him go google srna, a black guy that played dm for Spain.

hensben:
Him yansh open after the departure of xavi and iniesta.

Kantebets:
yea but Harvertz is better and will be a future ballon d or contender

iamoyindamola:

It's senna not darijo srna

Jodera:
Those gifs you posted, like popi.zaino said doesn't mean anything. Even kante, people can show you gifs of how he was dribbled. Does that make him less of a player? No.

Anyways, that same period you people are criticizing busquet, check deeper that same 2014 and people are there who still praise him.
Heck, is it not still this thread some people said kante was playing nonsense and let him be sold? Should I now use that to belittle who kante really is?

hensben:
But you mentioned senna and he retired from national team after 2008 triumph.

BlueAngel444:


So also will Mount, check Lampard's history. Anything is possible.

Kilishihunter:

Prime in terms of ball playing abilities or pace?

Kilishihunter:

Prime in terms of ball playing abilities or pace? Which one? Cause the busquets I know is still a vital part of the Barca and Spanish team as of now, He's not a runner and jambody but he outwits opponents, I don't need to tell you that
Maybe if Danilo and carvalho had at least half of his ball intelligence, Portugal wouldn't have needed Renato to install sense in that midfield

popizaino:


Should I show you sensible Chelsea fans asking us to sell Drogba? Should I show you sensible Chelsea fans asking us to sell kante ?

tesppidd:

Leaving Busquets alone to shield the back 4 is one reason why we concede and concede and concede.

Kilishihunter:

I've corrected it and I know Senna retired after euros 2008, All I'm trying to tell you is that busquets is more than an ok player, no passenger wouldn't be found out in that Barcelona midfield under pep

airmark:


This is ridiculous.



Even some die-hard Barca fans would look at this and shake their heads in disbelief. Obviously you must be trolling him.

Ibime:


Messi, Xavi and Dani Alves were the best in their positions in their era.

All the others were very good players though overrated into being the best in their position.

The only wack player was Victor Valdes. Busquets was wack (as a DM) but very good technically. As a CM, he would be very good. Iniesta was a very good player but could not compare to other AMs of his era.

There were some very underrated players in that team too who were solid as a rock and helped Barcelona when game went physical. I am talking Seydou Keita and Eric Abidal.

Debroslink:


I agree with everything you said except the bold. Iniesta made Xavi a god in midfield.

Don't make me rubbish Xavi.

hensben:
Like said using players like bousq is just pep’s thing, it doesn’t mean that’s the standard for DM. Because pep don’t like his DM to be physical doesn’t mean it’s the standard, just as he will prefer Valdez to Buffon, cech and Cassilas because they don’t were trained to play from the back and that’s not their primary duty. The fact that bousq held that position is just Barca continuing in that structure since it brought success under pep and he is Spanish too.

popizaino:


Busquet was not in spain as at 2008,Marco senna was.By then Spanish national teams had this bias of considering players plying their trade in spain before players in foreign leagues.

hensben:
Again not true, only pep and Sarri will do that. You saw how pep almost ruined Bayern in European football with his no tackle pattern.

BlueAngel444:

Kilishihunter:

I'm a barca fan na , why do you think I'm carrying his matter like gala, I criticize him too just as some criticized kante sometime too but Niccur is not the cause of the bang dead defence or poor recruitment drive, I'm not saying he's the greatest midfielder in the world or best of all time, All I'm saying is he's not average, he just doesn't get the recognition he deserves cause nobody would rate him above Messi, xavi and iniesta , if there was a hall of fame for most underrated players in this game he'll be inducted for sure

tesppidd:

Leaving Busquets alone to shield the back 4 is one reason why we concede and concede and concede.
