Give Attackers Purpose and Drive
Both Luis Suarez and Antoine Greizmann have been struggling this season. The Uruguayan at 33 years of age has been a shadow of his former self but remains a more reliable striker than the others available in the squad.
While Martin Braithwaite will not be playing in the Champions League due to his mid-season move to Camp Nou, Antoine Griezmann is the only other player to fill the striker role. Playing predominantly on the left-flank, many blame his role as a winger instead of a center-forward for his failure at Barca. The reality remains that the French international has lost his touch even as a striker, as evident in the match against Real Valladolid where the former Atletico Madrid forward played as a lone striker. It was during this match that Griezmann missed a golden chance at scoring in a match that ended 0-1 in the favour of the Catalans.
Both Griezmann and Suarez must find their confidence ahead of the Champions League competition to ensure that Blaugrana remains a serious contender for the throne.
