Pep, you vanished since last night! do you feel that bad after the draw?:))
Bad results inspire sometimes;)
Without messi, Barca is less dynamic. In addition, facing opponents like Getafe who would like to pack at the center, the usual playing style of Barca cannot be used.
Barca should change the playing style when facing this kind of opponents. Barca can no longer play short killer passing through the center. That is why Xavi's killer passing did not work and opponents keep intercepting the ball.
Barca needs to play more direct football, crossing more. Some say buying Arshavin can solve the problems. Arshavin have 2 excellent abilities. One is dribbling; the other is crossing. Dribbling won't work in this situation as the center is already fully packed by opponents but his crossing will help.
However, Barca is already full of players who can provide excellent crossing like Alves, Iniesta, Xavi, Helb, etc. It is not necessary to buy another player to provide this. What barca lacks is headers. All the strikers in Barca are poor at heading like Henry, Eto'o, Bojan, Messi, Pedro, Jeffren, etc. Currently, Alves is providing excellent but wasted crossing. To allow this system to work at this situation, we need tall, strong strikers.
What do u think, Ramzi and others?
The problem Josep is that all the teams who want to win trophies pack their centres now not only the smaller ones.We all saw how Man Utd played against us last year.
Barca right now has only 2 original "crossers" Messi and Iniesta and when they aren't around we all've seen the results.Alves is a second crossing option and Hleb doesn't seem to fit there.We need a talented winger and Arshavin is one of them..
We obviously needed another player like Iniesta and messi in our squad who always attempt to run at players. We need a new left winger that does that.Either promote G.Assulin or buy any of these players for left wing: Arshavin, Capel, Diego Buonanotte, Benzema or Aguero. Benzema and Aguero can play on the left for the time being and after Eto'o decide to retire or leave Barca, put them in centre forward.
