    Champions League 25/26

    We can compare Villarreal to the EPL and say they are well off the level. But for Atleti no excuses. Worlds highest paid manager and spent like an EPL side the past two summers. Zero excuses for them.

    Champions League 25/26

    They are still stuck in LaLiga land as an institution. Completely dates football outlook. City rivals in LaLiga2 will overtake them in a decade. More international outlook.

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    That's fair. Conversely. I enjoy his football because from the end of the LE era up until Flick our football was way too safe, Pitty pasa, Messi and inshallah with physicality taking a backseat. So it has been what I have wanted to see Barca play like since the death of tiki taka. But yes he...

    Champions League 25/26

    Atleti were solid for 60 and just went to shit after the first goal. Villarreal are just not at the level. A solid LaLiga side not at the level of the top 3 in Spain, nor the top 4 in England.

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    If we are talking about Flicks football, it that it has a rather obvious flaw that in a KO game can be exposed by one action if you are against a world class opponent. That is and always will be the issue. Right now I think we are seeing that the system is not working for a number of issues...

    No team except Marseille or Strasbourg. Jair was right, McDonalds League is the best fake burger in the world. Oh wait.

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    You should know this place by now. We would only be offended if you were a PSG fan. You might be underrating a few of our players. But as you, or another, were saying before, the number of world class players has diminished. While the number of athletic system players has increased. Take the...

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    Good post. Our best player is that Flick brings the utmost level out of everyone in the attacking phase. Of course to do that you have to, partly, overload the attacking phase with speed, numbers and high position holding. And this can make good players like Ferran- great. And bring up the...

    Champions League 25/26

    Villarreal just happy to be there. Year in year out they play the PL teams and look well off the pace physically. Even that year that they beat United in the final. Somethings got to change in the way they develop their youth system. Still stuck in the soft technical era.

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    Think you got to ride the dips like Kloppball. Just at Barcelona you can't have down seasons as bad as Pool had. Team isn't looking good at all right now. But here's hoping that we are building to peak for second half while working out the tactical kinks. LEs PSG were licorice all sorts this...

    16 - Fermín López

    Couldn't give two craps about what happened second half against 10 men. But Fermin's demeanor seems to have changed past 3 games. He's pushing himself to be a starter, while Olmo has either been injured or wet pancake this season.

    Pedro Fernández 'Dro'

    He's the closest to the typical LaMasia offensive midfielder/attacker that we have had in a while. Atleast one with a high ceiling. Going to super generalise here, but here's hoping he has one of those asian late growth spurts. Everything he lacks right now to be the next Fermin type of...

    16 - Fermín López

    Might be the starting of winning the AMC battle. Been a bit stop/start for the pair so far, but has hit the ground running since returning from injury, and that performance in the game where he got injured, looked a turning point for me. Was great at pivot, even if he really didn't need to go...

    28 - Roony Bardghji

    It's been a great week for the lad. Really happy for him and that the squad might have a bit more depth than anticipated. May lack some speed, but has some absolute quality in his boots when confident. Superb.

    Pedro Fernández 'Dro'

    Think he been good. A nice game for a youth player to dig into this one. Reminds me of Iniesta when he was breaking through and we stuck him out wide for minutes. Take of that how you will. Future here, if any, will be in a Olmo kind of role imo.

    CL : Barca - Olympiakos 6-1

    Finally get to see with a proper attack. Could be a career announcing performance. Lovely assist or goal on the cards. Or hooked at half time. Pick your poison lads.

    Champions League 25/26

    Looking forward to that Villarreal City game. A month ago and I'd have gone with a Villarreal upset. But Haaland has been inspired lately. INSPIRED form I tell you. Goddamn I do hate it when English commentators pull out the inspired form cliche. It makes absolutely no fookin' sense :lol: ...

    Cesc Fàbregas

    Good job it cut off at 28 seconds. At 30 seconds he asked if somebody had a lightbulb.

    FC Barcelona: Win of the youth system

    3-0 half time. Goren with a brace. Seems he is putting on a show.
