Kerron Birju says:

Everyone knows Messi set up both goals. As long as he plays in his natural false 9 position it doesn't matter who's around him. Chances will be created.

Tilen says:

Yes, Dembele is much better than Griezmana… He must start.
And it would be Nice to see Vidal in instead of Busquets

Kesly Monteau says:

Barca's line up in attack should be: 1- Messi- Suarez-Dembele just cause Messi is left footed so he should play in right wing. So does Griezmann as he's also left footed player like Messi so he can't perfom well if Messi as already occupied his natural position in wing. Otherwise he could play as a stricker but With Suarez in the line up with Messi it won't work so well cause Suarez is a pure stricker he plays better there and if you use him as a left winger so you can't respect great things from him as he's not that technical and fast. So In this case Dembele is the perfect choice over Griezmann in left wing. 2- line up with Griezmann Messi is still possible but without Suarez. Just use Griezmann as a stricker in Suarez position upfront and Messi, Demebele in both wings. Second attack will be made of: Messi, Griezzmann, Dembele. (Fati and perez as other options in case of injuries or less important games.)

griezman need to open more

King A says:

Dembele Suarez Messi
Griezmann
De Jong Arthur
Attack and midfield?

Luis Garcia says:

Lol he won’t accept being benched his ego wouldn’t allow it

tyrone itwaru says:

messi on the right dembele on the left and griezmann in center forward , suarez on the bench.

Ofori Aikins says:

The coach don't know his work that's why the players cant perform enough

gudi hassen says:

Suarez most of the games do nothing.

Jerome Eromosele says:

Although suarez score he always has more opportunity to score goals than anybody but waste  them, Griezmann should be given chance to prove himself as top 9 .

Beatergate1527 says:

Wow, it’s almost like Valverde has misused 2 great talents by forcing them to play off the wing

Honsy Jones says:

Griezmann is useless, Dembouz is useless…

Ansu Fati should start

German Machine says:

No disrespect to suarez but griezman should be the one leading the line, its time for suarez to start coming from the bench.

Joe Joe says:

Please, He needs to go Out …and they need to trade him for Lutaro Martinez, or if he stays, give him a year vacation…..
But for sure, he is not good player like dembele…..so I Agree with this guys….

Harsha Verma says:

Dembele is bad losses ball to easily

Zawlwin Moe says:

Dembele Griezmann Messi
Arthur De jong Vidal
Roberto Pique Lenglet Semedo
TER STEGEN

bynahelemaal says:

Griezman is a shadow striker, a false 9 in a 442 behind costa or a right winger in a 433 with france, which switches to a 442 when they drop back with griezmann behind giroud and mbappe

Jack 26 says:

4-3-1-2 will be good

fun vid clips says:

U can play 4 2 4..we have sub for front like ansu and perez

Oman Marwein says:

No no no need griezmam in place him bring dembele or ansufati

joe bart says:

What kind of dumb question is this? Of course a winger would play better than a striker in a winger position. Either play Griezman in place of suarez, change the formation, or don't buy him in the first place.

Booker Harrap says:

Idiots. Suarez is old, occasionally brilliant, routinely is the downfall of attacking buildup. Put griezman in the middle, dembele or fati out left.

Amy Bella says:

Here is the best title "Can we sell Dembele" the guy brings nothing to barcelona, other than giveaways and stupid passes to the other team and injuries for the last 3 years, NOT WORTH A PENNY!

Xavier Carty says:

If griezmann was bought for purpose of playing on the wing that was an extreme waste of money. He was to be an replacement for Suarez and this coach just doesn’t want to replace Suarez.

ousseynou Mbaye says:

Démbélé stretched the game by playing far left and that allowed Messi to be free in the middle. So yes he should started.

The Woken one says:

Till we fire velverde don’t think of a solution he just needs to go then we go from there
