    Define "out of place"? Not good enough or what?

    Villa
    Alexis
    Pedro
    Afellay
    Cuenca
    Tello
    Neymar (possibly)

    Lot of competition for two places.

    But with that comes limited opportunities especially if you're a younger player just breaking through!

    He's more direct yes, but he hasn't look stood out for the wrong reasons whatsoever.

    He's a totally different type of player and so far has played the total traditional winger role.

    I don't think Pep would get rid, at least not for another season or so. He creates more than the likes of Pedro and Tello nowdays.

    If anyone were to leave it'd be Afellay and Villa I reckon, though Villa is still highly revered at Barca it seems, and Afellay was playing well up to his injury.

    Alexis has done superb this season and added something different to their play. Same with Cuenca and Tello.

    But what a team to have a chance of breaking through to!

    I think Pep wants to play with wingers from now on, with the 4 man midfield, to make more space for the midfield.

    Really?

    I haven't seen that when i've watched Barca and he's come in to the side. Sure, he's raw and needs to improve further to last longer and have a career there but the initial impressions have been good for me.

    It's not easy going into that Barca side and you'd be found out straight away if you couldn't hack it, especially in forward areas, he seems to have done well and as much as Tello looks even better in this aspect Cuenca has not looked like he just isn't right in that side.

    I don't think so, that only really happens when Fabregas plays.

    Alves is the winger for the right, with Cuenca and Sanchez becoming more traditional wingers for whoever plays on the left. The other one becomes a wide striker to fed off Messi.

    It's certainly more complicated than their 433, which if I'm honest I preferred and thought it suited them more, however this system suits Messi the best and brings he midfielders into it more. I guess as Villa is injured and Pedro is out of form it makes sense, but I'm pretty sure if Barca get a topclass attacking wide player (say Neymar) they would revert back or switch between both systems.

    Who knows. It's certainly interesting to see. Pep is a brilliant manager and person.

    I like the idea of something more simple in a 433 but now Pep nows what's best for Barca, and that's accomadating Messi in the best way possible. If that means some fandanglangled formation with 15 CM's he'll do it

    Ironically if Tello gets more games it could push Pedro out and we could go for him instead. He's close to landing himself in the Luis Garcia position. I.e. being a strong player for Barcelona, but being a victim of their amazing squad of players.
    My feelings exactly. GET PEDRO!!!!

    was watching the europa matches over the week. spotted a few decent players from different clubs.

    bilbao : munain, martinez, llorente, iraola
    valencia : piatti
    beskitas : ismail (LB)

    particularly like munain, a LW who can play through the centre and is only 18. skillful, good vision and works hard.

    Looked like a bit of a one trick pony tonight, but certainly plenty of promise.

    I'm going to the Camp Nou in two weeks, hoping to start a rendition of "Tello! Ee-say Tello! Daylight come and me wan' go home"

    No, but he does masturbate to posters of Rafa on his wall.

    That has to be the worst rumour ever. He might turn out to be pap or break a leg in that time.
