He didn't have stamina issues 2-3 years ago because he was the master of hide and seek. He would pass the ball and disappear for 10 minutes from the field. During those 10 minutes he would go to take a nap at Camp Nou locker rooms. Then he would return to the field, make one fancy pass and...

Ernesto infront of Barca

On Youtube videos, he reminds of Hulk, Julio Baptista, maybe Adriano. But comparing anyone with Adriano is a blasphemy. About his highlights, it s hard to tell much until he comes and play in La Liga. He could be good or a total disaster. Since, even Malcom looked awesome and like a crazy...

I have warned about that several years ago. Pedri is similar to Arthur and have some similar issues. My opinion is that as kids, they grew up as Barca's fans and they grew up watching Pep's football and Spanish NT from 2008-2012. Before Pep's era, midfielders were different. Majority of teams...

I miss the good old days when our players weren't these snowflakes with the bodyweight of Keira Knightley and the mental strength of a 13 year old teen-girl.

And then, they are paired with midfielders like Pedri and Frenkie who have zero shooting instincts in them. Luckily for us, La liga is in extremely low quality situation, so even the current team can fight for titles. But Europe wise, at this rate, it is more likely that our next European title...

I hate when players make horrible decisions with 2-3 ninutes left when you know that you'll have only 2 actions till the end. At 2:3 after Lewa's header miss, Barca had the momentum, the ball gets to him at a LB, and instead of playing the ball to our Cbs who will switch the side and send the...

He is playing well, but in no way should a club rely on him longterm. The guy is an absolute psycho head wise. He'll just randomly disappear (literally), quit football or break his contract on any random day. There is a reason why both City and Bayern let him go. Hint: his psycho personality...

Maybe the worst Gk playing for any top club in the last 10-20 years

He has very bad attitude lately. As if he is bored and without motivation anymore. Also, he is choosing retarded options in attack. Vs Newcastle he tried a few fancy overhead kicks, backheel shots and similar in situations where he had time to take a normal shot. Lucho was also visibly pissed...

My thoughts exactly. Even today, a few months after his debut, he looks less promising than after his first 2-3 matches. With young dribblers: 1. he can either improve in a linear way and get better and better each year 2. or, he can have his peak aged 17-18 and decline after that (like young...

He thrives the best when there are no opponents on the pitch.

From Iniesta's replacement to being semi-retired aged 26. He is a free agent currently, nobody wants him.

Regarding comments of the quality of La Liga: A lot of fans here are somewhat younger and started to follow Barca around Messi and Pep's era when La Liga and Barca were on top of the world. So, they are confused about what happened? But historically, La Liga was never THAT popular. In the 80s...

When the teammates don't pass the ball to someone, there is usually a reason. They know him from the training grounds: 1. and they either think that he sucks as a player currently 2. or that he'll do some risky move like a dribble and cross and likely lose the ball so they are passing to...

Anyway, I'll start with the one thing which I don't like about him for now. I'll quote my post from a few months ago when I have seen him for the first time: In the league match last weekend, he was good though. But now, while watching his highlights against Osasuna, I see the same things...

It's always interesting to analyze people's behaviors even in trivial things like a football forum. After been a member of this forum for 10 years, it is easy to spot patterns and loops which are always repeating. 1. as Serghei mentioned yesterday, whenever a new promising kid arises, we'll...

So, let's do it slower. I was reading this topic and then I have seen this post by Total football: And then my reply was related to this post that a part of why Lamal is playing at a such a young age is because the level of Barca in general, the level of Barca's forwards and the level of La...

My point was not about the age of 16 but about the state of the club. Messi became a player in 2005/06 season when he played a huge role against Chelsea, for example. He got injured later. In that season, he was literally competing with Guily for a RW position and somewhat with Larsson who was...

The team was way better back then. When Messi emerged, he was competing with Ronaldinho, Etoo, Guily and Larsson for 1 out of 3 spots in the attack. Ronaldinho was the best player in the world. Etoo was top3 attacker in the world. Guily played a CL final with Monaco. Larsson was among the most...
