Javi has found no place in Pep's team yet. He's a horrible CB and always has been, going back to his Bilbao days. It's only the stupidity of a man that insists on having defenders whose main task should be to play the ball, which puts him there.
I really think the board needs to take a deep look at what Pep is doing. I find his idea beyond ridiculous. I think he won too much too soon at Barca and is convinced that he can and should reinvent the wheel. How else can you explain a decision to play 3 at the back when most teams do it only when they don't have enough good players for the wings?
But if the board believes that Pep's ideas are indeed correct than they should rebuild the team. They should go out and buy true CBs to play 3 at the back. They should go and find proper wing-backs, muscular, athletic types that can cover the whole wing by themselves such as Alaba can. And they need to sell Javi, Schweini, Muller, Rode. These players most likely are not what Pep thinks of when he designs a midfield.
If the board believes, as I do, that such moves are utter craziness than really what is the point of insisting with Pep at this point? For all I care he can go somewhere else to continue his life-long search for "perfect football" or whatever he dreams of. Give me Klopp and his "simple football is best" philosophy any day.
Stopped reading there. Sorry man, this is bollocks.

In a formation with 2 CB's he could look lost, but in a 343, right in the centre, he'd be a great fit. His performance against BVB in the cup final, against Lewy btw, wasn't random.
Now that he probably has torn his acl, I can't see him really making an impact this season at all, sadly.

Pep wants to play 343 because, if everything works, we'd be more flexible and less weak against counters. Worked against Dortmund last season, so why not again ?
So why are you complaining about Javi playing CB in a 343 if its not that much different ? See, the system stands above everything, Javi worked there, so it'd be perfect.
If it doesn't, we'll switch back again, no doubt. Pep said 3 at the back is an option just as 4 at the back.

You won't find them. That's a risk you have to pay when you play with the last line far from its own goal.
On the huge space there's no player who can handle with his opponent, they've said that in one sports studio during the World Cup. Everything is great until you lose the ball or someone makes a mistake. Quick transition is difficult to stop, just as it's difficult to keep concentration, stick the lines less than 20 meters while you're defending, being disciplined, etc.
