+1 I agree with you there. We have 3 forwards who like to have the ball at their feet which can cause problems for fluidity. With 3 top forwards as we have it should stretch the opposition defense leaving a lot of space in the center for our midfielders to exploit. The goal should be to create...

I think Pep will return one day but it will be when Messi either leaves or can be subbed/benched without backlash. The truth is you simply cannot win EVERYTHING every year. It's just not possible. Losing is how you improve but in each of Pep's 4 years in charge we won trophies. I think he has...

Reading a lot of comments (good & bad) these 2 matches (PSG & RM) have shown us where we stand. We're having a good season and some of the new players we have are phenomenal (Mathieu, Bravo) but some players are really off form. I can't tell who is more off so I'll put both Iniesta & Pique at...

I just wanted to stop by and leave a comment... our tactics were wrong. This was a game of PACE and we shouldn't have had Busquets & Xavi in midfield together. Mascherano has been a beast since the World Cup and should have been in Midfield. I'm broken hearted... its a tough game to lose, I've...

Bravo Dani - Pique - Bartra - Mathieu Mascherano Xavi - Iniesta Suarez - Messi - Neymar (if Lucho plays Busquets instead of Masche then I'd switch Rakitic in for Xavi to keep balance for speed in tracking back) Visca Barça! :flagvl8:

Looking forward to this one! I just hope all players make it out without injuries for the up-coming Clasico

Hopefully Iker starts on Oct. 25th 2014 so Messi, Neymar & Suarez can put a few by him :party1:

Yeah some really rough tackles on Neymar. I understand playing for your nation with pride, but there was nothing on the line here and Neymar is a team-mate. Imagine what kind of shit we'd be in if Masche injured Neymar :facepalm1:

I was happy to finally see the Dani - Pique - Bartra - Mathieu backline I'd been waiting for. Another 3 points and another solid performance by our new boys Bravo & Mathieu :yes:

This is simple... Cesc plays best as a #10 but Barcelona don't play with a 10. Arsenal played Cesc behind v.Persie with a winger on either side and 2 mids behind (rightfully so) to take advantage of Cesc's great passing/vision/shooting but also to have cover for his lack of speed & defensive...

Cesc was never suited to our style of play... he looks great now (as many of us said he would) because he 1. Plays in the BPL 2. Plays in a different system that works to his strengths. 2 completely different teams with different styles, same Cesc.

Honestly this loss felt like a good kick in the stomach. This was our first big test of the season and we didn't come out of it well. After re-watching the highlights there isn't any cause for panic, the goals were conceded down to bad line-up changes. Mascherano shouldn't have been covering...

Taxi is never the way to go if you're trying to save money. It's better to give yourself a little extra time and take public transport. Barcelona has a phenomenal metro & bus system. Good thing you got a shuttle lined up for next time!

Still love you Pep! (just not Bayern. Watching them try to play Tiki-Taka is like trying to watch someone with no rhythm dance)

Cheapest thing to do is to take the Bus (which I don't remember the name of but it's stop is right outside baggage claim) which runs from El Prat to Placa de Catalunya. The bus makes a few stops once in the city and you could get off at one of them near a Metro station or wait till the last stop...

Very true... Villareal made a pass down the left flank and the player had a headstart on Alba and he turned on the afterburners to get in front. The shape of the team has been really good the first 2 games even with Alba & Alves so I guess we'll just have to see how the season progresses.

Agree with you guys that as a fan of Bartra if he doesn't get time here this season he should move on for himself. I don't have the pleasure of watching these players train but every match Bartra has played he's looked like he belongs in the starting XI. I really don't understand the snub. I...

What the hell are they thinking with this move? Another short winger-like player for a defensive position. Why? Our tallest full back is 5'9 (Montoya) with Jordi, Adriano & Dani all around the 5'7 area. Darmian had a great season that anybody could have scouted while De Sciglio when fit has the...

Real, Bayern OR Chelsea:bartomeu:

Unless Lucho trusts Patric and believes he can do the job, Darmian or De Sciglio need to be brought in within the next 10 days! Dani looked alright in the friendly but his useless crosses look like a habit now and I don't want to see that or 2 bombing backs for another year.
