    Andrés Iniesta

    Not sure if it's that or not. He missed passes he usually makes in his sleep. If by aging you mean he gets tired easily and needs to rest more than he used to then I might agree. I think this off season will be good for him. No big games for Spain to play in if I'm not mistaken. This year he has...

    Lliga: (El Clasico) FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 2-1

    You can't beat Real Madrid 5-0 every time. Seems like that's the only time everyone has been happy after a Clasico here. Yes our team was bad in the first half but a lot of it was just brain farts. Easy passes not being completed and holding onto the ball too long. In my mind those are self...

    CL quarters: Barca - PSG 2-0 (5-1 agg.)

    I don't get why people think PSG are better without Ibra? Is it cause they beat Chelsea in London after he got that red card? Both goals were off of corner kicks which got them through. I realize they played well after he got taken off but that prob lit a fire inside of them cause it was a BS...

    Luis Enrique

    This! It came down to the last game of the season last year as we all know and barca had La Liga within their grasp. Of course they didn't win it but what if they did? Would it have been considered a good season? Media from around the world judge teams by the trophies they win. But us fans I...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    And the best part of his performance was making Pep cover his face with his hands.

    Andrés Iniesta

    Get back to that Illusionista level pleeeeease Andres! If you do that with Raki and Busi playing the way they have lately We'd be unstoppable.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    I have never said anything bad about Messi until now. He is the best player ever but for whatever reason he has a problem with penalties. Why does he need to take them? Cause it's an easy way to inflate his goal numbers? It's sad that it actually is important to score as many as you can in order...

    Lliga: Elche CF - FC Barcelona 0-6

    That's what I worry about but not for Messi individually but moreso the team. I really love tactical variation of messi on the right and Suarez playing like a target man to link the midfield and wings together. Not saying we won't win but I'm just a little more nervous about it.

    Gerard Piqué

    The return of Piquebauer! Stick around for a while this time. We like you!

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Come on man. I'm not saying he was shit last year but there is no doubt that he has improved big time this year. I saw a stat recently that showed Ney had something like 18 goals in 41 matches last year and this year he has 20 in 16.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    Most of the time it seems like it takes a year or more for players to adapt to barcas style of play. In my opinion only Villa fit in seamlessly right away. Alexis, Neymar and now Suarez all took time to figure out how to be effective. It took Alexis more than 1 season and Neymar has seemed to...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    Imagine what a midfield trio of the future we would have had if we kept Thiago..... Thiago - Samper - Rafinha Woulda loved seeing both Alcantaras playing with each other. Oh well, thank you incompetent board and Pep for stealing away Thiago.

    9 - Luis Suárez - v1

    He's playing like a target man most the time and doing an amazing job of it I might add. Right now He's the guy playing in the middle who players pass the ball to and then run into space for the little give and go passes. Obviously we all want him to score goals but I thought that especially...

    Sergio Busquets or Mascherano

    Barca's best CB pairing?

    That's another reason to play him at DM. If he makes a rare "mistake" (which happens only once about every 5 games or so while playing outta position) he would have cover from the two CBs.

    Lliga: Valencia - FC Barcelona 0-1

    Yes, which is the formation that we have played with for the longest time. The whole point of all that text was that I think Mascherano needs to be in the first XI. And we can still play Busi as well with good results or better than we have so far this season imo. But I doubt Lucho will try it.

    Lliga: Valencia - FC Barcelona 0-1

    It's such a shame to me regarding Mascherano how he can't get into the team on a consistent basis in the midfield. He really is the closest thing we have to replacing Puyol and it's painfully obvious where his best position is. Someone said in the Mascherano thread that he has been our 2nd best...

    Luis Enrique

    Way too much overreacting in here. I should expect it by now. That's why I usually stay away from barcaforum after a big loss until the next game. There are some worrying signs but it's still early in the season and we are still ahead of of madrid in the standings.

    Sergio Busquets

    I wasn't paying close enough attention I guess. What I mean is I didn't see him get beat by madrid players on the counter but maybe that's cause he's slow he was already out of the picture. He made 3 great 1 on 1 tackles and made some great passes through the middle of the field that I wouldn't...
