Everyone was swooning over Xavi and all I see is a failing tactical set up that he is beating like a dead horse. He's kept Busquets as a starter and the only time we look decent and not vulnerable with him as DM is when Frenkie is playing and babysitting him. He always covers Busquets when he...

Why is Xavi taking so long to sub clearly injured players?!

I rather donate the 30mil to a local animal shelter.

Not sure what is going on with Xavi and these shit tactics. It's quite obvious he's instructing at least one winger, if not both, to hug the sideline to create width. Our fullback should be doing this...to make room for our wingers, especially Torres since one of his only good qualities is...

You need a dangerous fullback making overlapping runs which attracts attention of defenders to create space for wingers to cut in. Alves did this for Messi for years. Dembele isnt a great finisher, but he also doesnt get help from RB to create space for him to do so. If we had that possibility...

I mean he was one of our better players, despite everyone being bad. Way worse players to point fingers at this match. He was hustling back to defend and press too. Adama came in with fresh legs and was still useless.

The stupid penalty by Garcia set the tone for the rest of the match. They defended with 11 and counter attacked when we pushed too far forward. Pedri and Gavi in the middle with those circumstances was always going to end up leaving us exposed, especially with Turtleboy as our DM. Wrecked the...

Has been playing well then does that. What is he thinking. Being a pro must not be as difficult as we think it is. Totally braindead.

He is also a great dribbler for a 6'2" player. He wouldnt be lost if he found himself out wide after a run etc

He looks strictly like a cross merchant. I'm not familiar with him, but someone who's strength is solely crossing shouldn't be considered our starter, but a good other option, reliable LB to play regularly. Anyone familiar with him and could give insight on his defending? A solid defensive...

To be fair, both this appearance and his last one, he has not attempted to involve himself at all. He's mostly tracked back, then stood out semi wide while letting a defender mark him. He needs to stay more wide or come back or inside to get involved, and to also open up space for him to run...

To be fair Trent was awful today. Dest still has promise and Alba is still reliable. Roberto is trash and Alves is old though. We definitely need a quality wingback, one that can play both sides would be perfect. Not many players out there though like Adriano was for us, he was underrated a bit.

De Jong played a good game and didnt get much help. De Jong isnt slow, but he's not the fastest. Xavi started him with two turtles, while Nico has no redeeming qualities whatsoever from what I've seen. He's not fast, not strong, not strong on the ball, not creative or has vision and he isnt...

He's trash. Literally braindead. Mistake after mistake after mistake.

We could realistically acquire him if his price doesn't further get inflated by good performances in the CL. Including Trincao at a 15-20mil value and offering 50-55mil would likely be enough since I also believe he'd probably prefer to play in Spain. Someone mentioned him having a knee issue...

Portuguese teams never sell cheap, look what they did with Felix. He will go for big money imo, maybe not 100mil+ like they are stating, but for way more than he is worth and that is both a certainty and my point. Teams have been getting way more money regularly for their talent. It's not rare...

It was only a matter of time after Mendes signing. Kid scores a hat trick, Benfica now saying he's valued at 100mil+. Just told my buddies this would happen 2 days ago 😂

Haaland is quality, I'm sure he'll do great wherever he goes if his injuries dont become chronic. His price however, is ridiculous. The buyout, fair. High salary? Fair. However asking these crazy agent and bonus fees for family is ridiculous and reflect incredibly poorly on the player imo. I...

I think they've done a fantastic job signing free agents and getting players on the cheap. Christensen and Kessie are two new solid players in positions we need as well. What we need now are LB and RB. Dest has improved a lot and is young, but he's not starter material yet. We definitely need a...

I'll be honest I havent seen much of Benfica outside of the CL, but I've been impressed with him. He appears to have solid link up play and is quick for a 6'2" player. He has a quick evasive touch as well, in which he creates a little space for himself out of nothing. Prime Eto and Suarez were...
