Maybe, but the team was dominated even more after Rakitic came in. He changed nothing on our game, so his inclusion in the team was not needed.

So basically the guy did his job as well as he could while Neuer was injured, qualifying with the team at the world cup but as soon as Neuer was fit to play, Ter Stegen didn't see a meaningless match in ages. Neuer was poor at the world cup too. I understand our guy completely. Nice gratitude...

Too soft. Not good enough. He can't read the game well and he's very poor 1 on 1. Have to do something about our CB pairing.

Is that Jimmy Butler there at the end? He too in Barcelona to convince Messi to join Inter Miami?

What are you talking about "miles better"? We were as vulnerable last night as we are with the old guard. We simply encountered a Valencia that self destructed like a bunch of cretins by sacking the manager 3 days prior to our match. There were also not many old timers in that Osasuna game last...

Agreed. Time to move on from Neymar. We tried this summer and if it wasn't to be then that should be the end of our pursuit of him. Of course we should wait a bit before going for players, however planning should be done as soon as possible. As soon as January we should be putting in work to...

Yeah, I know about Puig's desire to stay. I still think that if EV would've said to him that he won't count on him or advise him at least of going to another team in La Liga to get meaningful minutes he would've accepted. Regarding what you replied to Barcaman, that's another issue and another...

I'm still undecided about what I'd prefer. A true box to box CM, an attacking CM like what De Bruyne has become or just a younger Busquets behind FDJ-Arthur. I feel like any of the above would complement them well. I believe an out of this world offensive mid like De Bruyne would suit us the...

So, Konate and Havertz on the shopping list next summer? With Ten Hag as a coach and I would be happy. Also clear the deadwood. We'll probably chase Neymar again, for 200m and the whole summer.

My bad, I got ahead of myself. Thought you made a mistake when you wrote La Liga there as it didn't make sense for me for some reason. I apologize for that. I agree, in La Liga we could use FDJ in a more advanced role with Busquets/Rakitic rotating as the DM. However I still think Busi is the...

That's the mid I want to see this year against good pressing, athletic teams: Arthur-FDJ-Vidal. All three are mobile enough to keep up with any other mids, can contribute to both attack and defense. Vidal is currently our only good workhorse that combines all attributes of one, powerful, direct...

Alena didn't do himself any favours by having poor games, however, the fact that Valverde didn't tell him to look for a team to be loaned out as he wouldn't count on him too much is just another classic fuck up from the manager. The board is also at fault for utter incompetent squad planning...

Cracks me up everytime. :lol:

You mean, put FDJ in Busi's place and Vidal then takes the more advanced position. Because Vidal has never been a DM and can't really play the role of one against good teams. He would be pressured into mistakes pretty easily. Rakitic is the same defensive liability so not sure what you mean...

Riqui is being wasted in segunda B. The board and Valverde have some explaining to do on why they didn't tell him that he won't get any minutes this season with the first team. I'm sure he would've chosen to go on loan if the manager would have been straight with him. So now, instead of...

What Arthur showed today and when he was fit last season is enough to be a surefire starter for the foreseeable future. Even half fit and he's twice the player Bob, Busi or Rakitic are. The fact that he barely got half an hour in 3 matches and only because Valverde again shat the bed is simply...

It's clear we don't have any leadership whatsoever. This guy would have been put in his place if we'd have had a clear captain like Puyol or a manager that is not an eunuch like Ernie. Business or football, not both. If he can't see that having his mind elsewhere is detrimental to Barcelona then...

Exactly! How the fuck you gonna keep Busquets in when he is done? Bob one of our worst players as well, kept in the game. Style of play is a disgrace, in game decisions are moronic, players are undeperforming left right and center but this guy still has a job. Absolute insanity...

Dortmund gonna take a dump on us at this rate. Just go, have some pride, you are one of the worst coaches in our history. Just have some decency and get the fuck out.
