Until further notice, the three centrals have finished at Barça. The fiasco in the game against Bayern has left Koeman badly off and the system was touched to death, which proved insufficient to contain the Germans and amounted to an unbearable assumption of inferiority for the Camp Nou stands, which saw a team stuck back and without arguments to get to the top. An unbearable mediocrity.
It is, therefore, the moment of 4-3-3, which will have to be seen how Koeman manages with the losses he has up front. Namely, to this day he cannot count on Dembélé, Agüero, Ansu Fati or Braithwaite, so Memphis is the only fixed player on the attack line. Luuk de Jong is the only healthy center forward, but his performances against Bayern were not the best because they were soft. It would not be strange to see Memphis as nine and Yusuf Demir and Coutinho at the extremes. Koeman would thus bet on a game on the inside, with a lot of association between the players at the top. In midfield, Busquets and De Jong are untouchable. The other position will be disputed by Sergi Roberto, Riqui Puig and Gavi. If Luuk de Jong starts, Coutinho could move to midfield to play Pedri.
The defense will be revolutionary. Jordi Alba's injury forces Alejandro Balde to pull, who will make his debut in the league as a starter. Sergiño Dest will be, in principle, the right back. Piqué and Araújo have all the ballots to play in defense, although it is not ruled out that Eric or Lenglet can enter admitting that there are three games this week.
