If he really wanted out he wouldn't have signed another extension. Now he's going to rot there, and there isn't anything he can do about it.

Moving Messi to midfield will only work if we build the entire team around it. He will add little to no defensive work, however he has such amazing vision there is no better place for him to be now that his legs aren't what they used to be. We need a player beaming with energy and PACE to play...

After 3/4 through the season? And by compared to previous don't you mean the whole season? Because despite our okay record we hAve played very bad all season long.

I think the blame is mostly on Lucho. Send out Munir then replace him with someone worse for 30mil. Signing of Gomes, who lacks both the physicality and skill to play the way we need him to play..in Lucho's own system. Continuing to play Roberto as RB...how do you replace Alves with that is...

We looked awfull against an Atletico having their worst year in 4 seasons and played a game mid week when we rested .... I didn't see anything really different by Lucho.

Lol the same people ragging on Neymar when Messi has also played like shit recently and was absolutely awful today. Suarez has been playing lowsy too. At least Neymar is showing effort and desire to win, he is also tracking back and defending more than Suarez and Messi combined. His finishing...

We have always signed big players, always. We didn't suddenly start buying more big players than we did before. At least the big players we signed recently for a lot of money have been good and paid off. The problem is with all the other garbage we have spent TONS of money on. Vidal, Gomes...

Gomes is awful for us. I've said it since before he even played for us that he had no exceptional qualities and was SLOW as hell, exactly what we don't need when teams have shown to be most effective against us by pressing with quick counters. It was all there for everyone to see, including...

I don't think success had much to do with Lucho, honestly. Give some random semi pro coach Messi, Suarez and Neymar and a ton of money and I think he'd do quite well also. I'm not exaggerating either. Lucho's tactics were never brilliant and never adjusted according to game progression. He's...

Umtiti has had some outstanding games. Gomes at this point is lucky if he has NOT a bad game. He's like a ghost and has no redeeming qualities. He still has yet to have an awesome game, just an above average game...for him.

I want Lucho gone. The one, and only, reason Barca has had some success since he's been there is MSN dragging them through shit into titles. Hey Gomes is playing awful, like always, let's sub out Rakitic who is having an awesome game instead and replace him with an attacking player who can't...

Lemar is probably my favorite of those, Pulisic looks very promising too.

It's a shame. We were given this extremely narrow-minded coach and he was unfortunately the one to see out the end of Messi and Suarez's prime. Not saying they are going to be shit now, but both of their primes are over. They will have to adapt in order to stay very effective; even Messi doesn't...

Yes, he's been very bad this year. His positioning is often suspect, he's weak in the air and he's shown time and time again to be a vulnerability when it comes to 1 vs 1. As a squad player, he's fine as a RB...but that is always what he should of been there.

I don't know what games you were watching but Rakitic had a very difficult time coping with the high pressing Barca gets and not having much time on the ball. He didn't start to really play well until the end of the first half/beginning of second half when his role was more determined (covering...

Defending like today is why you don't replace Dani Alves with a midfielder. He should of only been a back up, not our main option. He is also no where near imposing enough when attacking. I was okay with giving him a chance last year, but he is not what we need.

I think people are delusional regarding Gomes. They want the young, tall and handsome player to succeed but the truth is he wasn't exceptional at anything in particular before Barca, and neither were his performances for Valencia or during the Euros. They're hoping for him to become something...

This is what happens when you bring in midfielders who's roles are supposed to be pressing/working hard to win the ball back for the forwards to create....yet, you bring in all slow, not very athletic players to do the job....while they simultaneously aren't creative players either and also...

^ Yup

I said that he has always shown more glimpses of overall quality than Gomes ever has. He showed his quality but has been inconsistent with it. He is younger than Gomes too. Gomes has never shown very impressive quality- nor at Valencia or the Euros. Many of you are simply hoping an average...
