He was probably subbed so that Pique could get a chance too. The jury is out on Henrique. We have to be patient. We don't want another massive failure like Caceres and Hleb on our hands.
Good call anon. He seems to be steadily improving. It is quite strange how such a player who nobody had heard about (he wasn't talked about at all before he broke through) does so well and doesn't really look misplaced in the team with expensive superstars at all.
We DON'T need to buy players anymore. If we do then great and if we don't then everything will be fine. We have so many versatile players who can play anywhere. Also, Bojan, Pedro, Jeffren, Dos santos, Fontas and other barca B players are promising.
Henry: as FW & LW; Marquez: CB, DM; puyol: CB and RB Inestia: anywhere except DF Messi: AMF, LW, RW, FW; Bojan Zlatan: FW and might be used as LW or RW. What do you guys think? Keita: DMF, CMF Toure: DMF, CMF, CB Pique: CB, DMF Gudjohnsen: CMF, FW Alves: RB, RW Bojan: FW, LW, or RW
Sorry if i missed some players; you guys got my point. Visca el barca. Lets win the Gamper Cup, the spanish Super cup and European super cup this month.
I have seen Henrique play in the Bundesliga . He actually looked solid and confident . His technical skills are good . I think he is just overwhelmed by the step up in class . He needs to settle down and get his act together soon !!
I think FC Barcelona has become almost mythical and surreal for football players all over the world, so the players we sign become very nervous. The Treble and the way we play just reinforces this. It is such a huge club, with so many of the biggest stars in the past and present, that it becomes abit overwhelming for the outside players we sign. Zlatan also said that he was nervous, and that Barcelona is something beyond dreams. Perhaps we need to do more to make them realize that Messi is just a human and FCB is just a football club, although a very good one.
woah i can see barca youth player are becoming world class player better than other teams. indeed beckham still havent lose his touch in freekick. nice play la galaxy. i hope pedro wont go for loan this season, he is messi apprentice. jeffren is henry apprentice. good luck!
It does seem like Pedro has developed. Some really nice and beautiful moves he did today. Maybe he can be a good squad player for us in the years to come after all? I don't expect anything great from him like Iniesta, Messi, Xavi, Puyol etc, but he could be useful. He make good decisions most of the time, unusual for a winger.
marc muniesa,he never disappointed me,i know he's just turned 17 in April,but so much expectation from his perforamnce...so confidence,great ball controll,good tackling.
Pedro reminds me of the great Giuly we had a few years ago. Great movements and skill. Messi and Pedro for right wing, Henry and Jeffren for left wing(Gai is not ready). This is great. Next year's squad:

Yes, it is fantastic and amazing to see Messi with the captain's band. How you can be against it is inconceivable.
