    Frenkie de Jong

    Still need to be able to count on all your midfielders to grab a marker. Bit more focus is clearly needed from Frenkie.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    He had repeated hamstring tears. Disciplined rehab and continuous strengthening would have taken care of them. Probably learned his lesson after the fifth time or how many it was. His famously terrible diet and sleep regiment probably didn't help either.

    8 - Pedri

    Means when you're up against a disciplined side that closes you down, blocks off lanes, pressures you on the ball. If you haven't noticed Pedri struggles to get a foothold in those types of games, you haven't been watching.

    8 - Pedri

    It doesn't surprise me that he does great things when he has time and space. The criticism is that he struggles when the game is compact, stressful, uncomfortable. And if we're being honest, it was mostly that one thing he did followed by some nice and sensible, but not really impressive...

    Xavi Hernández

    We're a funny side atm. Don't really have a clear winning way compared to a team like Paris. But we have grit and when we do find each other, there are sparks.

    CL Quarter Final: PSG - Barca 2-3

    Honestly have no clue about this one. I can see us getting a narrow win but I can also see us getting whooped.

    8 - Pedri

    Yoann Gourcuff is a more apt comparison than Iniesta at the moment. Interesting, highly watchable player who shines in his own little niche but not really great (+ injury prone.) Needs to transcend that niche if he wants to be mentioned in the same breath as Iniesta.

    Guille Fernández

    Youngest player to debut for the B team, beating Lamine by 11 days.

    La Liga Round 29: Barca - Las Palmas 1-0

    Pretty sure Roque is a dud.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Reports of Deco looking at Khephren Thuram (son of Lilian) for the DM spot. Anyone get a good look at him?

    8 - Pedri

    Iniesta could play pass and move. Pedri can't. More like pass and take a break with him. Something tells me this won't change. Boy simply looks gassed after each action. Has to be an AM, then. But he can't really do that either. Too shy, lacks aggression and initiative. Lacks that spring in his...

    Nico Williams

    Would say yes to Mitoma, Kvara, Leao or Luis Diaz for a reasonable price. Son would be nice if we could somehow lure him. Otherwise focus on DM and wait til an obvious candidate appears.

    Nico Williams

    Wouldn't say Nico is a great dribbler. He's got speed and an eye for the incisive move but he isn't particularly creative or slick.

    Nico Williams

    He might be slightly better than someone like Ferran on the overall but he'll never be at the level we should strive for in the long term. 50m seems a lot for a slight (not even guaranteed) improvement.

    11 - Raphinha

    I'm overall positive about him but pretty disappointed with the number of long range crackers he's scored. One of the most appealing aspects of his game before he came. Scored one against Real in his first pre-season and had me buzzing. But since then basically nothing.

    Vitor Roque

    You see him receive the ball and he just seems extremely limited and primitive in what he can do. You could compare with Suarez but although Suarez looked sort of barbaric and clumsy, his actions were high level, often low key genius. This is not the same type of player.

    15 - Andreas Christensen

    yeah i tried it but could probably have had more patience and persistence with the rehab. thanks tho, good luck with your studies! interesting field i've always thought.

    15 - Andreas Christensen

    True. I've had this for years and it's a pain in the arse to get rid of. You can sort of play with the pain but it just gets worse and worse. You take a long rest, slowly rehab, and then as soon as you're feeling back to your old ability, the pain appears again. At first just a slight soreness...

    Memphis Depay

    Better player than Felix.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    He's good at using what pace he does have. Plus at 16 he will still get incrementally quicker.
