Why? I'd love to see a classic giant like United progress while the fake ass Qatar boys cry again. Maybe enough for them to really go nuts and get Coutinho off our hands for like 200M in the summer, or swap him for Mbappe ;)

Have to try him in midfield vs Valladolid. If he sucks there too, start shopping him around to P$G and Chelsea. If Dembele, Suarez and Messi stay healthy, he won't see much starts anyway, at least I hope not. At least Malcom shows desire and fight to make it here, Coutinho's body language on the...

No wonder he got injured, when he has to cover our whole damn midfield with statues like Rakitic beside him. Can't wait for Frenkie to join so that Arthur can get some real help. In the mean time, i really hope Alena gets those minutes. I'd even take Coutinho in midfield. Just please for the...

Alba is suspended, so he won't play either way.

If Coutinho doesn't improve massively until the summer, and even more so if Valverde stays beyond the summer (which i hope he doesn't of course), i would be perfectly happy with us selling him for like 110M. Take that 50M L and move on, as he's clearly struggling to find his place here. If we...

He's actually a left hand version of Dybala. Wants to occupy the same space as Messi on the pitch, and thus looks really awkward when playing together. At least Dybala can possibly be molded into a (false) #9 attacker, Coutinho can't even do that. What he can do, is play AM, but in a Barca...

Semedo has to start every big game from now on, and just sacrifice Suarez by playing Suarez-Messi-Dembele up front. Malcom to rotate with Dembele on that RW spot. Suarez can still be an interior winger, making frequent runs to the middle, when Alba is so attacking. Even though we already tried...

Xavi and Iniesta were one of the best midfielders of all time, and they still knew when to step aside and give the youngsters their spot. Rakitic should know it as well, especially now that we've got De Jong coming as well. And Rakitic, even though he's still great, is far below Xaviesta's...

2-1

If EV starts Rakitic-Busquets-Vidal again, we have a worse midfield than PSG tonight. I could totally see us losing like 3-1 in the 1st leg that way.

All Cules should be watching this...tonight is the biggest indicator yet for those who think our tie with Lyon is gonna be a walk in the park. With a bum like Valverde on the bench, I wouldn't be surprised if another 'Rome' happens, i give us the edge only because we're playing the 2nd leg home...

Valverde's decisions have nothing to do with actual performances, only his default preferences, which are: Roberto ahead of Semedo, Vidal ahead of Alena, and Rakitic all minutes, no matter how much he sucks, untouchable, the GOAT, Valverde's goat (actual animal this time) that is. A robot could...

RW. but he can play LW equally good, he can also be deployed as a CAM or even a ST. The fact that he's right-footed, he'd probably play LW for us.

You wouldn't give Samper a chance even though he never really got one yet, but you still think EV is the greatest manager ever by the way you've been defending him in other threads? You and your opinion are irrelevant to me at this point, so move along.

Wow, was kinda shocked to see him included for the squad against Valencia...will he maybe even get some minutes? Probably not, but still nice to see. This has to be his first inclusion in the squad since...well forever. And since Oriol isn't being called up to the first team yet, we might as...

:lol:

3-1

Dude where are you living? :lol: We don't have Pep or Wenger as coach, to throw a newbie in right away. Pique will be run into the ground before this guy gets a chance under Valverde in any meaningful game this season. Especially since we also have Murillo for cover right now too. Todibo will...

I'm so glad to see his name in the other players thread...now Rafinha next please.
