Tactical Rating 9.5/10
The Good
-Composed passing from majority of the players. Beats high pressing team with ease
-Midfielders always make themselves available for a pass
-Wingbacks always have spaces in the wider areas to exploit
-Cm runs from deep
-Players are clinical in the box
-Wingers exploit the half space effectively by 'Cutting Inside'
-Mess 'False 9' drags out defenders out of position allowing other players to run into space or
dribble towards the defender if they decide to stay in position
-Busquets Deep Lying Playmaker role makes him dictate and control the play
-Fluid movement in attack. Players always interchanging position with each other confusing opposition defenders
-Intercepts the ball effectively OUT OF POSSESSION


The Bad
-Commits too many players forward. Vulnerable against counter attacking teams
-Aggressive Pressing requires alot of stamina
-Opposition finds pocket of spaces too easily in central areas
-Lack of physicality in the attacking third. No 'Target Man'. Struggles to win headers
