Sign martinez now

[Joehannes]

is he playing midfield or CB now and is he playing as bad as the score is indicating?

He's playing in midfield and he's not shielding the defence particularly well right now. Second and third goals midfield offered absolutely nothing in terms of protection

Is he in midfield? He's playing very deep if so.

Yeah he's meant to be playing in the middle. It's a tactical horror show from bielsa tonight

He is playing in the middle because Herrera is injured.

Yes, he is. Martinez very deep as you pointed out. De Marcos and Munain moving around in front of him, Ibai and Susaeta on the wings.

Yep playing the holding mid role. Has not been pretty. Muniain looks class though. Ref completely missed a foul on Llorente in the box. Should be 3-1.

I'm beginning to think Bielsa doesn't have too many tactics in his pocket..

 

[Joehannes]

Like many pointed out, Bielsa's had a shocker. Not enough screening in front of back four and no shape beyond defenders really. Muniain trying to create but Susaeta too direct and trying to force things.

 

[BlueCityfan]

Martinez is shielding the defence. Bit like De Jong for us. Think Martinez would be perfect alongside Yaya.

Had a bad start (bit like the whole Bilbao team), his misplaced pass resulted in Messi's goal.

But has after that upped his game and showing how well (and fast) he can move the ball. Much faster than De Jong.

Herrera is on the pitch.
