Yesterday was a masterful display from Barcelona and no team on this planet could live with them on that form but it got me thinking I wonder if any our players would get fit into the Barca's style of play. I think Silva has what it takes but I also think Vinny and Tevez would slot in nicely. All three are comfortable with the ball and love pass and move football.
 
Silva would, Also Vinny and Nige.

Nige is much better at holding the middle of the field then Sergio would be,
And Puyol is 33, Vinny would be a nice CB. They could even play Puyol on the left instead.
 
Only Tevez and Vinny would play in the starting 11.

The rest wouldn't have a chance. Silva's good, he'd be a sub, but obviously wouldn't beat out Xavi or Iniesta.

Am I the only one who wouldn't swap David for either Iniesta or Xavi???

Well maybe, Xavi.

I cant see why you cant play all three myself. That would be a cracking midfield.

I would. Xavi and Iniesta don't lose the plot in front of open nets.

Not an insult to David, but he needs major work on that part of his game.
 
Barcelona players would shoot if ten yards out with just the keeper to beat, no freeze like silva.

Hart, De Jong, Kompany, both Toures, Tevez and SWP of course would fit in.

fishing are we ? haha
 
Yaya would get a game ahead of Busquets anywhere but Barcelona where he is the perfect fit for them, Kompany would partner Pique, Silva would get on the bench(only because Pedro has the speed to run in behind) Tevez over Villa, Hart as a shot stopper over Valdes but Victor is better with the ball at his feet. Maybe Kolorov over Abidal?

Absolutely not.
 
I always thought David Silva turned down Barcelona to play for us? It's one reason I love him so much!

Abidal was outstanding yesterday and is better than Kolorov.

You think Balotelli would get away with sulking after losing the ball at Barca? No way.

He doesn't work hard enough to fit in with them.

you can persuade a player to work more hard

you CANT convince a player to be more gifted than what his mother did...

Silva is the closest thing to the likes of Messi for me-Just wish he could score a bit more like sir Imogen Giggs!!!

Messi? Hell no.
Silva can't dribble and beat players like Messi can, if anyone of our time was anytime like him it would Tevez.
Just down to pure workrate and willingness to try beat players and shoot.

Silva is more of a Xavi-Iniesta type style. The three of them in the centre together would be lethal,
But Barca like that cover on front of the back four in Busques so he'd end up on the bench.
