How do we get rid of these all has-beens though? It's middle of August, new season preparations are underway and these guys have children who are about to start school.
I am not optimistic.

Realistically we just won't get rid of most of them. Best hope would be a coach who dares to bench lazy underperformers so they may take the hint and leave at the next opportunity.

Given the limited resources that would probably mean playing la masia kids, somehow make Griezmann work as CF etc, so it would require a great coach who also isn't afraid of the seniors what already will be a difficult task.

He tried, and in many occasions he could have been in one to one situation if he was slightly faster or we have better passer.
Bayern defense was a joke (and yes, ours are far worse) and Suarez tried to exploit it, but he is simply slower than any player in their squad.
He is way past it physically, and probably mentally too.
A club legend, but at this point I might prefer to let Fati take over than playing him.
 
I genuinely believe the attack was the least of our problems that game.

The midfield defence and keeper were calamitous

Im on the same page with you. We need not to over react. This game was tactically lost from the get go with the pigeon coach. Despite lack of player performances the coach got outclassed. Barcelona never would never lose this way. He should have started with dembele Up front. Semedo should have not started.busquets should not have started. Frankie should have taken busquets position and Puig on the right with either griez on left or Vidal.

There tactic was clear from the get to to pressure us from coming out of the back. You need faster players a busquets kills us there.. are touch was not fast enough but the tactic and player option was dead wrong.

This team has many flaws but I can sure you that Messi and Suarez it the least of them. You don?t grow strikers in trees. I keep Suarez as a super sub or even run him one more year.

Messi
Suarez
Neymar?
Dembele
Fati

Frenkie
Puig
Alena
Sergio roberto(utility guy always need one)


Pique
Ronald

The areas we need to address are mid and defense.

1. Right back
2. Center back
3. Iniesta/Xavi type player in the middle

Or easy to do or get!

Get rid of everything else complete fire sale and build the purse.

Out

Umtiti
Langlet
Semedo ( as fast as possible)
Vidal
Rakatic
Busquets
Griezman
Couhtino

True. But not just him. All veterans are past it physically. Over half of them have the fitness and intensity of retired players, and the other half is only slightly better.

Anti-everything
What can you except from overweight 33 years old striker ?

He can still work for lower level clubs who don't have numerous bystanders or for us an an impact sub; both of which he's not willing to do.
Should add that he's also incredibly toxic and part of the amigos so it's definitely better if goes.

President of FC Barcelona
As long as Suarez is at the club he'll never allow Barca to move forward with another striker or different players. He is a club legend, but right now also a cancer. Way too toxic and got too much influence in the dressing room.

They need to sell him or tell him to walk away.
 
I would like to run it another year with new head coach of course. They were clearly out coached, not prepared from the gaits and tactically wrong formation. They had one intention the whole game. They pressured us from coming out of the back. We need faster players with faster movement and busquets clearly shows he is pass his prime.

Don?t mess with this!

Messi
Neymar
Suarez
Dembele
Fati

Puig
Frenkie
Calenas


Pique
Ronald
Alba( his contract would be hard to move)

Go out and get

1. Right back
2. Center back
3. World class midfielder

All the the three above i would prefer experienced and established.
