    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Spain have themselves to blame that Barca deals with them based on zero trust policy. That De La Fuente guy is an idiot, wannabe hardman with a huge chip on his shoulder. No player should go to the NT unless in pristine physical condition. Club acted in good faith and Spain fucked it up. Fool me...

    Xavi Hernández

    Flick's work has been excellent so far, the only letdown was losing to Inter. Apart from that, probably close to maximum that could he achieved with this squad. Not a great start this season, but he could turn it around. But the Madrid part is overplayed. Losing Kroos weakened their midfield...

    Xavi Hernández

    Anyway, this season of Flick will show if the first season was a one off or not. If it was a one off we are back to what we knew for some years already. For Flick's work to be really memorable we need to make a step up, not down from last season.

    It wasn't a great defense but far better than Flick's.

    You can say we play more attacking football, closer to what fans want, but having a good defense is part of playing well also.

    Xavi Hernández

    With the difference that he took the team at an earlier stage and in a worse state than Flick. I don't think we play well under Flick consistently either, not until the defense gets fixed at least.

    Xavi Hernández

    That being said, our best bet is to punch above our weight and develop by doing so, until hopefully several players progress and ascend a higher level. For that we need motivation, hard work, discipline, some luck, etc. And above all, the right attitude from the manager, to withstand criticism...

    Xavi Hernández

    Only the best of the best teams during an era manage to produce back to back seasons at a steady high level, or even improve on it. Our team and squad is good, but it is not at the same level as even the top 4-5 current sides, let alone previous great Barca teams that established long dominating...

    Let's see how Flick deals with the same issue Xavi spoke about. Motivating players you have is tough as hell when you lack funds to bring them strong and direct competition for their starting place.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Gonna be a major marketing hit if we somehow bring him back for a final season here and a proper send off with a full Camp Nou.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    I think his career is benefitting from his move at Barcelona. I admit I didn't expect him to score this many goals at this age in a very pedestrian Barca team. I think he is overall superior to Suarez at every stage as a player but absolute peak. Very professional, very fit, and has a strong...

    Should be interesting if he gets some consistent minutes for Spain at the world cup. At Flick Barca all defenders look like segunda level so maybe he looks worse than he really is normally. It's a possibility.

    Need to see him first in a competent defensive setup, but I see a player that has a lot of learning and developing to do.

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    He's a mediocre defender. Not better than young Bartra. The differrence is Barta had Puyol and Mascherano to compare against, and this guy has some nobodies. Normally, he's still youth team level that is spotted and in circuit of the first team and getting only easy games here and there as a...

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    Absolutely, but I don't see the big fuss even at young talent either. That Levante player turned him around like a pancake. A very suspect player defensively. He'd get little to no playing time in normal condition at a club like Barca. Good for his age... means jack shit to me. So he's less bad...
