Genuine question: did you watch Pep's Barcelona at their peak? They were officially the smallest team in Europe. They had tall powerful players in CD, DM areas, it allowed to defend crosses and set-pieces successfully.
Can't remember anyone 'dominating' Xavi and Iniesta in midfield.
You missed the 2009 Juan Gamper Trophy. Stephen Ireland Gareth Barry owned them ;)

Thanks. And what was I meant to glean from that?
Is that why he has back to back premier league winners medals?France and Spain played a friendly not so long ago, you should watch it and check out how this 'terrier' deals with Spanish 'poodles' (hint: he's useless against them).
Well we don't have anyone anywhere near as good as xavi or iniesta do we? They also had busquets, we don't have anyone anywhere near his level as well.Genuine question: did you watch Pep's Barcelona at their peak? They were officially the smallest team in Europe.

Yeah our middle is way too soft. It baffles me how we can see it and one of the best managers in the world cannot. I understand it against the smaller teams but against the big teams we could get dominated in that area.
Can you really not think of an explanation for your first statement?
Sorry cannot agree with that last statement in any way. It's all about opinions though.
In terms of interceptions and reading what the opposition player is going to do, KDB is one of the best I've seen.
When he first joined he didn't like to go into tackles but he's getting better now.
KDB is no ball winner.
Depends if you define ball winner purely by a player's ability to tackle.

Kdb isn't a ball winner? He's actually really good at interceptions.
