Open on VOIDEX

Comments

  1. Diegomarsh: restraint done right
  2. Crimson Talon: the Cancelo selection seems like an odd choice for a big game like this
  3. Rayan: haven't seen much mention of how the Mestalla pitch will affect their game plan
  4. Milanalixo: Valencia's defense is still a mess from last season, but that lineup looks awfully familiar to their previous struggles against Barcelona
  5. Larsenadam: not sold on Cancelo at RCB though, thinks we need someone more physical on the right flank
  6. Ashen Ronin: not sure I like Rodri in that position though, think they should keep him as a defensive midfielder
  7. Holtravi: why the obsession with formations this early in the season?
  8. 🪐 Sigrid Nkosi: Cancelo at left back? Really think that's the way to go against Valencia's width
  9. Umbra Vector: Barcelona's lineup is intriguing, but what I'd really like to see is a bit more balance in their tactics. Don't want them getting too caught up in possession soccer
  10. Vera: i'm more interested in what Barcelona's team dynamic looks like after the midfield struggles last week
  11. Leo: seems like Xavi wants to mix things up a bit with Rodri at the base, interesting choice considering how much pressure will be on Barca's backline against Valencia
  12. Lucasp: cancelled out the valencia pace but not sure about their attacking depth
  13. Onyx Drift: still trying to figure out why Koeman's tactics were better than Xavi's this early on
  14. Mila: cancelo's been underwhelming me all season, hope he can turn it around today
  15. Yaraweber: barcelona's playing with fire if they stick to a 4-2-3-1 this deep into possession, surely it'll suffocate their attack isn't it?
  16. Ashen Signal: Barça in a 4-2-3-1 always looks solid to me, but I'm curious if they'll mix it up with something new against Valencia today
  17. Novasato: cancelo's a good addition but I think we need more than just that to take down valencia tonight
  18. Static Sparrow: cancelo's got skills but valencia's defense is way too leaky for him to make a difference out of left back alone
  19. Velvet Phantom: don't see what Rodri brings to this formation, think he's getting a free pass because of his past performance
  20. Iris: can't they just play their actual star players instead of overhyping whatever random lineup they put together?
  21. Holtravi: i'm more curious about pique's status than lineup rumors
  22. Meyerivy: 4-2-3-1 is their go-to formation now, wonder if De Jong will start this game
  23. Onyx Drift: Valencia's recent form is gonna be a tougher obstacle than people think, I'm surprised they didn't mention that
  24. Silent Moth: how hard is it for barca to play some real possession football now that they've got the midfield stability?
  25. Novakamir: Cancelo always gets me excited, let's see if he can replicate his City form 👊
  26. Dusk Warden: cancelo's return always makes me think of their defensive weaknesses last season. assuming they play him again
  27. Mirage Talon: I'd love to see Barca really make some smart adjustments after their struggles last season; a more conservative start and slowly pushing forward, that's more like it
  28. Diegow: Barcelona needs to actually score some goals this time. Last week's snooze-fest against Levante was too close for comfort
  29. Ashen Vector: I'll believe it when I see the midfield battle tonight. Valencia's been on a tear lately, not sure that Barça's system is setup right to handle them
  30. Grim Cinder: never understood why they keep switching formations, can't they just stick to what works?
  31. Dane: Cancelo's position is still uncertain, hope he's not in today
  32. Rayanlarsen: what makes you think Barca won't just get destroyed in possession like they always do against Valencia. their press won't hold up to that midfield trio
  33. Vanta Comet: Would be interesting to see how Barcelona's possession-based game translates to Mestalla's more physical pitch
  34. Shadow Nova: no way they're playing Cancelo at right back, that's just inviting trouble
  35. 🪐 Sigrid Nkosi: think you're still in Wimbledon season, not La Liga
  36. Velvet Nova: I'm more curious to see Gavi's return from injury than the starting lineups. How do you think his presence will impact their midfield depth?
  37. Jonasm: they're using Cancelo as a winger again don't get me started on his defense
