Did Barca sell the wrong midfielder


Admin.

Recommended Posts

With Thiago hitting fine stride in munich and becoming the most important player for arguably the best team in the world alongside his central midfield partner Lahm in recent weeks.

 

Did Barcelona get it wrong in letting him go and keeping Cesc Fabregas ???

 

Tipped to take over from Xavi for nearly a decade now, Cesc has not been trusted to play in the center of midfield for barca since he has moved there..... instead currently Sergi Roberto is now being groomed for that role and Cesc was used as backup for messi in the false 9 role and also played out wide....

 

now under Tata he is enjoying his best run in the barcelona side dislodging Iniesta from the starting line up

 

however this is one of barcas worst seasons for 4/5 years and the style of football is being whistled by the catalans who do not like the direct "english" style used at times.....

 

So my question is

 

who should be the starter/1st back up to Xavi for spain in the world cup

 

Thiago or Cesc.... given that del bosque isnt a fool and will defo play his star man Iniesta

He delivered when he played though

 

But for all he knew Xavi was going to start 35-40 games this season, he feels ready to start week in week out

 

He had to make a decision

 

Difficult for Barcelona to just drop Xavi for him because he told them

 

But they know how Xavi's knees are, Thiago's integration should have been started before, it probably would have under Pep

 

Think Thiago just got lost in the changing of managers

 

100% sure he will go back one day though, they all do

 

I would start Xavi in the first two games, let Thiago start the 3rd and see how he does, if he steps up I would strongly consider him for the last 16

 

Big game wise Xavi is that guy, plus he plays with Busquets, Iniesta, Pedro, Cesc week in week out

 

Very difficult choice to make

Barcelona should consider moving into a true 3-4-3 which would allow them to play a true CF & Messi as a #10.

Pedro/Sanchez & Neymar/Tello/Deulofeu on the flanks. Alba if trying to be a little more defensive but want to retain width.

Xavi, Iniesta, Sergi Roberto & Cesc as the CM's.

Busquets, Song & Mascherano as the DM's or Liberos depending on how opposition sets up.

Pique & Puyol as the sweepers.

Bartra, Montoya & 1/2 new defensive signings as the wide defenders.

Delivered? He was distinctly average in his final season at Barca

 

As for selling the wrong player..Cesc is better so no

Messi has a lot to answer for as well . Ever since pep left he has become lazy . Runs half as much.When he should be tracking back helping out the team hes walking around . fabregas shouldnt be made a scapegoat . Just look at the champions league game mid week . Messi was shite .
