    Sergi Roberto

    What surprises me is his ability at winning aerial duels with his head. How tall is he anyway?

    Rafinha Alcantara

    All of a sudden we have a log jam at midfield. I remember before this season most people wanted 2 midfielders in the summer of 2016. Now we have 3 great backups. What a difference a few months make.

    11 - Neymar Jr. - v4

    Things are going too well right now. We are making things sound like problems when there is actually nothing wrong. A 24 year old went home to Brazil with the clubs permission and is having a good time. He actually needed a break and will most likely come back better than he did before. He...

    Basketball/NBA

    Never saw that coming! I know some of you are Laker fans here. I've been so happy with the way their core young players D'angelo, Clarkson and Randle have been playing. Especially Russel. Lots of people here in LA and around the league called him a bust after the first couple months. Now he's...

    Paul Pogba

    This plus maybe a backup forward. I know we had problems getting Nolito in the winter transfer window but we should try again. He wants to come here, would accept a bench role, more quality than Munir and has Barca DNA. That's all we need. No more stars are needed. More risks than rewards would...

    Cdr | 1/4 2nd leg: FC Barcelona - Athletic Bilbao 3-1 (5-2 agg.)

    I wanna see a lineup with Neymar as the false 9 and Sergi Roberto and Arda on the wings. Busi, Rakitic and Iniesta in the midfield

    İlkay Gündoğan

    couldn't Barca get him in the January window? He wouldn't be cup tied because Dortmund aren't in the Champions League right?

    Sergio Busquets

    Is it wrong to think that Busquets may be the play we can't afford to lose? I always would have said Messi first but with Suarez and Neymar the attack would still be in good shape. Now if Busquets went out with a 3 month injury or longer who replaces him? Lucho would probably play Masche there...

    CL | Round 5 - E: FC Barcelona - AS Roma 6-1

    Doesn't Iniesta have a small injury? If he does the midfield is obvious. Busi, Sergi and Raki.

    Sergi Roberto

    And your doubt wasn't unfounded. He showed almost nothing to suggest he would be the player he is at the moment. People have analyzed to death what changed for Sergi to make him the player he is today. I'm not gonna go there but I'm just so happy for him and the club that he is succeeding here.

    El Clasico: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 0-4

    That was too good. I'm trying to think of where to rank that performance in terms of greatest games since I became a fan in the 08/09 season. In terms of just clasicos I think I put that 2nd behind the manita at home when we had David villa. In that game Madrid had absolutely nothing. The game...

    El Clasico: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 0-4

    The same thing is said time and again and how often has it actually happened where Mascheranos weakness has hurt barca in these games. Hardly ever.

    El Clasico: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 0-4

    Then we have messi looking like this :tito: licking his chops to come in and wreck havoc. Be afraid Madrid be very afraid.

    Oh most definitely

    El Clasico: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 0-4

    I love it. I. Think it's the best way to play without messi. Should give us more control of midfield. Then if Messi is needed later in the game it will give nightmares to Madrid. 1 because messi is in the game and he's the GOAT. 2 cause it will change the shape of barcas team. I'm feeling really...

    El Clasico: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 0-4

    I think Roberto is more creative than many give him credit for. he won't beat his man with dribbling moves but he does it by anticipating where to be at the right time. Then once he gets past his man he has shown this season his though balls or crosses are as good as gold.

    Barca top of the league!

    It's hard not to be overly optimistic about Barca's chances of winning La Liga this season. As some have said even in this thread they expected us to be 6 points behind or more at this point. Now we are up 3 with you know who coming back along with other reinforcements and good form from pretty...

    Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

    Bingo! Read that on other teams forums as well which is great. It's not just Barca fans realizing the decline of Ronaldo and the rise of Neymar. And what is it going to do to Christiano's morale when Messi finishes this season with more goals than him? Even with all the time Messi missed.
