Real will win. Somebody gotta save Primera's public image. Real 3 - 1 Atalanta

I'm yet to meet a Barca fan on this board who thinks we're signing Haaland. Some hope we do, some think it's not impossible, but doubt anyone think we're favorites. Lol.

If he could defend, he would be a great CB. Even though it wouldn't be his best position? Sums the argument.

I've seen reports he wants to stay for another year. Don't know if it's true. Also think Pique might be a fine 4th CB. If he's willing to accept that role. Barca should try to ditch Lenglet and sign someone with intentions for him to start for us.

Psg did play well against Barca. That team was good, even if Barca suited them. Why they don't show up in these kind of games, I do not know.

Thought it was a clear pen.

I don't think De Jong did that well as a pivot. Think he was often poorly positioned and didn't defend well enough. His recent actions in the final third have improved his image a lot. People weren't that happy with him at the beginning of the season. @Bobo, pace might not be crucial for the...

What did he create? :thinking: Him, no doubt. Griezmann is bad, but scored here and there. Can't remember the last time he scored.

Jupp's Bayern vs Pep's Barca would be a great duel. Was close, actually. Shame it never happened.

Don't be beta

All these Barca Frenchies smile like idiots after we lose. :p At least didn't resort to bootlicking unlike his countryman.

Sort of... yeah. He advances the ball really well. And does it against better opponents too. One of his strong suits. But should be more aware of who he's playing with. I don't trust his final ball, though.

I agree completely. Said few days ago Koeman was in a prime position to try out something new. He's got some interesting players, even though they might not turn out world class. Experiment more, don't go back to this utterly slow build up prone to every counter. Araujo should play (Mingueza if...

I don't mean he loses the ball more. But once he's gotten the ball forward, quick to release it and with no Busquets and Pedri there, we often fail to recycle possession. Hurts us a lot. That said, he does well to progress the ball, plays a lot of passes in the middle to keep the ball. Has nice...

Yes, I agree. But Koeman's setup (allowing De Jong to basically wait for chances to run upfront with little involvement) changes drastically when Busquets is out. Busquets is the one progressing the ball and thus Pedri receives it in advances positions compared to Puig. Puig does position...

Puig and Pedri have rather different roles in the team. Since Puig doesn't play alongside Busquets, he's usually the one progressing the ball. Pedri gets the ball in more advanced positions where it's harder to break lines as it's crowded. Pedri's composure lets Barca attack for long periods of...

Defending with 3 old slow fucks is definitely not a way to go. You simply can't field the trio of Pique, Busquets/Pjanić, and Lenglet. That has no chances of success these days when even teams like Cadiz manage quick transition. What you need is at least one physical defender and some additional...

Had what? 5 touches? Was invisible if anything.

Stop even trying to excuse him. He's a bum, plain and simple. A bum with zero end product. And no awareness.

It's actually a miracle he managed to look decent under Valverde. This guy can't avoid giving away pens to save his life. GOATverde
