Araujo is definitely not that strong on the ball, not shockingly bad, but it is his weakness. However, he is tall, fast, strong and good in the air. He reads the game decently and has the pace to get back during counters even if he is slightly out of position or to cover our of position...

Yea. Been saying since last season that Xavi's tactics are shocking for a player that played completely different from what he's designing the team to play. Isolated wingers, CMs not involved. Using a past it, overrated DM who has been nothing but average since Iniesta and Xavi were past it as...

Pedri, De Jong as DM and Kessie/Gavi is already a way better midfield. I would like to see either, but particularly with Kessie.

Haha. I mean, true. Sad, but perfectly said and true.

You call him useless yet he was our best midfielder last season, and he managed that while babysitting Busquets every game. He may have displayed that he isnt the best fit, but calling him useless etc only shows how clueless you really are.

I dont want Messi anywhere near the club. I thank him for his service, but I cant deal with watching him walk around all game during CL knockouts anymore. He doesnt provide enough anymore to make up for being that lazy. The other 3 will be decent pick ups though.

No one taking the number 6 jersey...hmm

We also have Pablo Torre. No way he keeps them happy imo. De Jong, Silva, Pedri and Gavi will always think they deserve to start. Kessie is also in his prime and Torre needs to develop as well.

This would be an impossible squad to manage, especially considering Xavi has shown zero interest in using De Jong as DM. Pedri, Silva and Busquets will start. Busquets will play almost every game, rare Pjanic appearance. De Jong and Gavi as CM subs with some starts to rest Silva and Pedri...

Got em.

Being exceptional in tight spaces and creating chances in those spaces in 1-2 touches is exactly what I said. He had a great first touch and was elusive. He had a killer striker instinct. Technique is being able to lay off a first time pass, accuracy with those passes and having the vision to...

You make this comment after he scored a great non tap in goal JUST last game, which is hilarious. I have no faith in you making an actual educated comment based on his time in Dortmund. Like I said, a waste of space.

You should continue reading, you might learn something. I've watched Barca regularly since Dinho, and when it was actually on TV in the states back during Ronaldo's only season. Good try though. Eto'o had acceleration, speed, workrate and an amazing, elusive first touch. His passing, vision...

It's getting to the point your posts are actually a waste of virtual real estate.

Eto'o was elusive but not super technical. And Ibra actually started off great if you remember correctly. It's only once Pep started telling him to stick around the last defender that things went downhill- due to the tactic not working and Ibra butting heads with Pep about it, ultimately leading...

Why has he not played all preseason? I thought they said it was only a wound or skin tear to his foot? If anyone on the team really needed a preseason and would benefit from it, it was Torres. Especially after joining us in the winter.

lol @ all the people stating for whatever reason Haaland will struggle blah blah Just stop, the kid is quality and the best striker prospect by far. Like no one else is even close. He was exactly who I've been saying I'd want at Barca for years now. City got him. It sucks but get over it...

Messi at 23 was unplayable. Every week he did something unbelievable either in league or Europe. Current Mbappe is a nobody compared to 22-25 year old Messi.

I was wondering when the Auba rumors would start, makes no sense for him to stay here with Lewandowski starting. He isnt strong on the wings either, he wouldnt be happy on the bench.

He was never much of a leader. If anything he was always targeted and exposed by top opposition. Even watching him this preseason was embarrassing. How many times was he caught out of position or missed a tackle due to the player just easily gliding past him. He has some good qualities, but...
