Firpos problem is the same as Griezmann. Firpo was not a LB at Betis. At Betis he only played 6 games as LB and 30 as LM https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/junior-firpo/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/374139/plus/1?saison=&verein=150&liga=&wettbewerb=ES1&pos=&trainer_id=. Barcelona yet again play a...

Sterling has a strong manager who knows how to attack, while Dembele has Valverde a manager who knows nothing about attacking football. Sterling has improved under Guardiola, while any attacking player under Valverde has not improved.

If you keep playing a player who is not a winger on the wing, then it is Valverde's fault. Coutinho will not get faster, taller or stronger and most teams have worked out how to stop him on the wing. Coutinhos best position is Messi's position but more central.

When Semedo is with Dembélé Semedo is more attacking as Dembélé does not stand on the extreme wing. When Alba is with Dembélé Alba is more attacking as Dembélé does not stand on the extreme wing. Coutinho and Malcom both stand on the extreme wing which does not allow Alba or Semedo to attack...

When you pack the team with slow midfielders and strikers, better teams will play a 3-5-2/4-5-1 high press knowing that you have no players who can beat the press with pace. Real Madrid did this for 10 minutes and Roma did this to Barcelona last season.

The same can be said for Rakitić.

I would still bring him back. He is a better dribbler than Coutinho. While Coutinho is a better creator. He is far better than most wingers who can't even get past the first man. He is strong on the ball and can play midfield. At a better club, teams won't be able to put 4 or 5 players on him as...

Paco is not a winger so people should blame EV for playing players out of position. When he played up front he was better.

Look at how Valencia play 4-4-2. When they attack the wings they attack with 2 players , Barcelona attack with only 1 player om Semedo's side.

Not surprising. When Semedo gets the ball he has 3 players in front of him, no runners and both attackers marked by defenders.

Team has wingers who are not wingers who have no pace or dribbling ability. Messi picks up the ball and there is no one running ahead of him and so has to do everything himself.

He may have poor football IQ but playing players who can't dribble on the wing as wingers such as Munir, Rafinha is also stupid. If I was Barcelona I would have given him 1 year playing in the A team to see what he does and what the opposition does to combat him. A 3-4-3 with Messi and Adama on...

Robben has a proper right back who passed to Robben and ran past him to offer another passing lane. Barcelona's right back Roberto will pass to Messi and stand still and expect Messi to beat 3 or 4 players every time. Messi needs players running in front of him or beside him in order for him to...

He is a better left back than Alba especially in passing. He made a lot of direct passes to Suarez which caused problems for Juventus.

If Messi has 3 players marking him, then he is not going to get space. This is why Rafinha and Neymar have acres of space. The problem is Rafinha is not creating anything and cannot go past the first man, so they don't need to mark Rafinha and just park the bus.

Roberto and Vidal Stats comparison. Vidal has scored more goals and created more chances than Roberto in a third of games. http://www.transfermarkt.com/vergleich/spielervergleich/statistik/def/spieler/85370&88490

Munir is not a winger. He is not going to take players on, all he is going to do is pass the ball back unless someone creates a chance for him to run on to. Munir and Alves will create nothing on the wing as none of them can take any players on.

Not a surprise, he performed better as right back than midfield the last time he played. He is a very good crosser and attacks more than Alves.

Not really a surprise. No dribbles, hardly any tackles, easy to get the ball off and only created a few chances.

He would if he had Messi , Neymar on the pitch. If you put 3 players on Messi this will always create space for players on the right or where Messi is not.
