when barca is forced out of their playstyle, he is bad.

both games against inter, he was mediocre


most forgot, but when they got past italy with penalty's in 2008, italy played a perfect defensive game, with a massive chiellini. spain was forced out of its game, and iniesta was bad as a result.

Iniesta walked in the best passing club and national team

nasri was crucial at marseille, at france -21, current france and now arsenal.

if i'd face a mourinho team, i rather bring nasri then iniesta
Pretty much everyone for Barca had a mediocre match against Inter and the best manager in the world. You think if Nasri would have played in those matches that Barca would have fared better? Of course not.

The rest of your post is meaningless.

In barcelona, last 20 mins, they were pouring at inter's goal.
Inter was getting very tired from running down every bit of space, winning duels, with one man down, barcelona didnt had an answer, iniesta was crap.

then, they pulled pique and busquets in the frontline, making a total change in gameplan.
however, they had no one really connecting, and were lucky to score once.

Nasri plays such games often in the epl, partially because arsenal isnt nearly as good as barcelona, who win 99% of their games because their attack is exponentially better then opponent attack and defence.
When they'd put pique and busquets up front, and subbed iniesta out, and nasri in...

the summer that came afterwards predicted the future downfall of barcelona, instread of seeing the problem that when their attack is nullyfied in a game, and they'd need to powerplay and break the opposing defence, they have no options.
instead of fixing that, they bought villa and let zlatan go. they got another talented 1m70ish player.

Good lord what is happening? "i'd hardly call that running" - convinced someone hasn't seen a Barça match before.
if you want to mention a CM/CAM that is "running down defenders", and seriously mean that well, then we are talking about seriously lampard style running down defenders

iniesta is miles away from that

I think it would be a bit misleading.

You'd click on it expecting Nasri/Torres/Iniesta but be disappointed when you come to realize it's only G. Rossi we're discussing.

I think Rossi could be really, really good but i don't think Barca is the right place for him. I can see him getting frozen on the bench, making a few apps. here and there before he leaves after two years.

El Barcelona cierra un principio de acuerdo con el delantero del Villarreal Giuseppe Rossi
Barcelona signs Rossi for 30 million euros + Bojan

Holy crap, that's a lot of money. Who are they going to bench now? I can't see them fit Pedro, messi, Villa and Rossi at the same time.

I think Bojan could do well at Villareal, he will have much more playing time and he is very talented.

But where will he play? Villa's better than him. I don't see Pedro sitting in the bench and Messi is just untouchable.
