    Lionel Messi - v7

    Again, you are describing coaching issues. What Messi wants or doesn t want doesn t matter. Coach is responsible to maximise his potential even if it means resting him for a game or two. How hard is it to prove (with facts) to him that rest is good as you get older? I think the issue is, that we...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Yes, i didn t express myself well. I meant that his desire to create is a good thing and should be exploited and maximised, while leaving him in the position to score. But this is a tactical-coaching issue not a Messi issue. It is known the he has the tendency to participate in the creative...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    You have a tendency to overestimate an importance of a single parameter. It s not just about him or one single issue, it s about who he is surrounded with and who he is coached by. We are not taking advantage of his production of chances and passes as we should. Suarez needs like 100 shots and a...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    He has a tendency to drop deep for sure and considering his passing and vision, that s a good thing.. A good coach would exploit this, don t you think?

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Easy. Lucho isn t a wc coach by any means. In that period defence and midfield were weak spots. "Give the ball to MSN ASAP" tactic. You are again reinventing the wheel

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Would you say no to any of those 3 before we got them? Which midfield player,who d be a sure thing, did we miss in the past 2 years? It s easy to be a general after the battle is over.

    If he was trolling all this time, than i got to admire the dedication. Otherwise, dude has issues.

    It's important to feel useful. It s important to have goals.

    Ivan Rakitić

    OMG, we have an ego driven dude who doesn t want to give up his spot. What a rarity that is, the horror! Let s set up the stake and burn the bastard! In any case, i wasn t talking about this specific day. Dude is one of the most talked about player on this forum, which is inversely proportional...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Who are these fanboys? Can you name a few? Beside BBZ, who is a contrarian by default, and few trols, i can t think of no one who is this guy fan. I can only think of few people who occasionally get tired of the repetitive whining about him. I don t get why Rakitic is always on the top of the...

    Luis Suárez

    With Valverde....no. I m already thinking post Valverde era and even than, i m not sure Busi will be out or at least benched. With current team Valverde should minimise the damage from slow legs and maximise the current abilities of the key players. This means, giving more chances to Todibo...

    Luis Suárez

    Do you think 4-2-3-1 would work? Messi in the center, with Suarez in a poacher role. It puts Griez closer to Messi for combination play and Dembele/Fati on the right as a fast winger role. Or maybe Griez in the center with Messi on the right. In defense this would mean 4-4-2, which is basically...

    Antoine Griezmann

    Agreed, he should be tested in midfield if Valverde persists with 4-3-3. I wonder how he would link with Messi though. Leo likes to slide back to AMC, but having 2 great players in that zone could be an asset with the right coach. In any case, Busq shouldn t be a starter anymore, but i m pretty...

    Ernesto Valverde

    BS. Again with your pessimistic notions. The problem is coach. He makes players unbenchable and he lacks basic tactical common sense and basic strategy for that matter. Cut from the starting 11 Busi and Suarez and the only speed problem is Messi. And he ain t no problem. He should be an icing...

    Lliga | Round 5: Granada - FC Barcelona 2-0

    Another goal received in the first minutes. This shit is getting old.

    Sergio Busquets

    Right. The highly delicate instrument that is Busi has to be carefully calibrated with patience. If he still looks like an unmovable object out there, i guess it ll be DJ and Arthur s fault.

    Sergio Busquets

    He should be sub in this season in CL in every game with DJ playing his spot. DJ playing out of his position is just one of Valverde s stupid compromises in order to accommodate the unbenchables.

    Sergio Busquets

    Oh? When is that gona happen? He sure wasn t at his best in Dortmund. Your double standards based perception is laughable.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Well yes, board is no. 1 on the list of guilty parties, but that doesn t mean that Valverde is absolved. Team is not shit, stop exaggerating. It just looks like shit because our coach is incapable of benching couple of players (Busq, Suarez) and he is tactically poor. Messi-dependencia is on...
