    CL Round 1: Barca - Royal Antwerp 5-0

    Middle of the pitch a bit too crowded for my taste in the last third. Can understand Cancelo drifting centrally to help in the buildup, but neither Raphinha nor Cancelo has provided much of a threat or width from the right

    Neymar Jr.

    Yeah after 20 years of football at the highest level and becoming the most decorated player ever, Messi decided to move to Miami with his family. What a loser. Always been rainbows and roses for him, having everything rigged for him and receiving no criticism at all, especially with the...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    He was born in Spain and very much looks his age. He's just extraordinarily talented, don't see anything suspicious about his age nor heard anyone else speculate about it.

    La Liga Round 3: Villarreal - Barca 3-4

    Don’t think Balde is injury prone yet. He was very reliable up until that crazy tackle on his right ankle, which is the same one that’s bothering him now. He sprained atleast one or more lateral ligaments, which can affect you for months. The tissue might have healed making the ankle...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Nice that you could kinda get a W with this take. Only took a ruined meniscus, a couple of surgeries and 2 years of knee problems for a 17 year old kid. Also "the streak" was 16 G/A in 1700 minutes in LL and CL across 2 seasons being 16/17 years old. Would say its a bit much to call it a fluke...

    Xavi Hernández

    Kind of a bad sign when you don't trust your manager to get the best out potential arrivals or themajority of the squad in general.

    8 - Pedri

    Bar should be higher. It´s the first team of Barca, all our attackers need to be able to handle such a ball, including Abde. If not he'll never be good enough to start, as those kinds of creative passes often are what enables us to break down busses like Getafe who defend deep with a 6 man...

    8 - Pedri

    Just get him on the ball more and allow him some more positional freedom please. As Xavi himself said, you relax when he's on the ball. Our positional rigidity with him pushing up between Raphinha and Lewa work doesn't seem to work that well honestly. Too me, he seems smart enough to be allowed...

    João Cancelo

    Well as long as it isn't mandatory I'm not too fussed. Don't think he'll be a big succes unfortunately, hope I'm wrong tho. Any kind of offensive improvement to the team is welcomed.

    Neymar Jr.

    He can offer us much need offensive quality. Neymar, even off form, is a bigger attacking threat than Ferran, Ansu and CardioPhinha combined. And he works well off the ball, so wouldn't impact our pressing negatively. Shows up more in big games than Lewandisney. Is more marketable, even if his...

    Neymar Jr.

    Despite his Antics off field, Ney seems to me one of the most hardworking superstars on field. Works harder than someone like Mbappe, and seems to try much harder aswell to turn things around when it isnt going well for the team in the big games. Which he also showed was some amazing...

    Neymar Jr.

    Time for the prodigal son to return and fullfill his destiny. Another season of Brazilian magic at Barca incoming.

    Frenkie de Jong

    RM seems to get the best out of this guy, always dominate against them, ever since that famous tackle on vini and croqueta on Modric for Ajax they haven't been able to stop him

    FDJ really turns up in these clasicos, absolutely dominating

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Should have been on the end of Dembélé's cross

    Oriol Romeu

    Got better, first 10 minutes he looked nervous and had many bad touches/passes even tho he tried to keep it simple

    2023 Preseason

    Praying to see Faye next game instead atleast

    Oriol Romeu

    Looks like the odd one out on the ball atm. Not very smooth or confident with it so far.

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    He is incredibly likeable tho. Amzing workrate, even more impressive pace and solid both defensively and offensively. Was my favourite surprise of last year I'd say. Like it's already been mentioned, he is a rare profile who has the skills, stamina and speed to cover the whole wing effectively...

    2023 Preseason

    Agree. Only change might be Gundo playing pivot instead of Oreo. All depends on how well Oreo and Gavi performs aswell as our LWs in case we opt for a 3 man midfield with Gundo, FDj and Pedri.
