La Liga 2016/17 - Barcelona 5-0 Las Palmas - 5 Talking Points

#2 Questions remain about Barcelona's defence

The Catalans’ defensive struggles are well-documented

While their attackers were on fire, slotting five past the visitors Las Palmas, the same cannot be said about the side’s defence. As often has been the case, their defence looked fragile and the real problem behind that could be the lack of a midfield enforcer in the side.

Barca have struggled to replace the gigantic figure of Xavi ever since he left the Camp Nou and with tougher teams to play in the season than their visitors for this evening, it would be deemed prudent if Barcelona went into the market to bring in an enforcer who can do the dirty work in the middle of the park to bring balance to the unit.
