    Neymar Jr.

    Neymar broke the same bone in his foot 2 years in a row. Jones fracture on the fifth metatarsal, one of the most problematic injuries because of the lack of blood flow to the area. That specific injury has ended more than 1 career in the NBA and caused massive decline in athletes across sports...

    Arthur

    Lol I see people are saying some warm and fuzzy things about BBZ now for appeasement. Sorry, but copying and pasting long walls of text 50 times a day does not make a valuable contribution or some type of unique/brilliant insight that the forum suffers without. Even in these last 2 posts you can...

    Neymar Jr.

    Speaks volumes to how low of a person Neymar is that he knew the bigger the tantrum/bitchfit he'd throw, the more likely he'd be to get what he wanted. He has acted on a level of unprofessionalism these past 2 years I haven't seen since the likes of Balotelli. We better not offer much. And...

    Frenkie de Jong

    In the future, DNA tests will reveal that Frenkie de Jong is actually the bastard grandson of Johan Cruyff. I'm just saying, Jordi looks like the promiscuous type. Look into it.

    Nelson Semedo

    Yeah. I'm really happy with how Semedo has performed in preseason but it's just a reality that our RB has to be able to operate without Messi providing much support on the wing. I have doubts that someone who doesn't naturally push the pace offensively like Semedo can reverse his instincts...

    Philippe Coutinho

    Coutinho has never had what it takes to be a Barca midfielder. He's a dribbler at his core and his first instinct on the ball is always to initiate a 1v1. Head down all the time, not a pass and move player or good at linking up. Iniesta was a great pass and move player and excelled at...

    Frenkie de Jong

    I think, moreso, you guys need to start catching on more quickly to changing realities. More than half this forum was just barely starting to say "hey this guy might be pretty good" when he was already destroying the best midfielders in the world for his NT and in the CL knockouts. Besides, I...

    Frenkie de Jong

    It was clear he was a special player even when he was a CB in 17/18. His dribbling success rate was 94% and he had the highest pass accuracy in all of Eredivisie. This was despite the fact that he basically lived on the tight rope of risk as a CB and played like freaking Beckenbauer :lol: He's...

    Arthur

    Not every player is like Messi/Xavi/Iniesta/Alves, or even FDJ for that matter. Those kinds of guys are impossible to suppress and hold their talent back too much. Most players need good coaches to get the best out of them and develop them early in their careers. The fact is that Arthur has...

    Frenkie de Jong

    He has to play as the pivot. Both Rakitic/Busi should be benched but the spot FDJ has to take is the CDM, based on his performances. He completely dictates the game there and has his largest area of action, contributing to buildup on either side and at any level of verticality. He even got an...

    Sergi Roberto

    Coutinho was beyond garbage today and should never be anywhere near the midfield. Aleña is still not close to being starter material, if you focused more on consistency instead of the last good game then you'd know that. Reflecting on last season? Where he excelled against...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Well, for starters, the team was trying to build real offensive rhythm in the first half and play effectively. And without Rakitic/Busquets stinking up the place, they did so amazingly. By the time Arthur and them subbed on they were already having their 2nd water break and the score was 4-0...

    Philippe Coutinho

    Beyond garbage player and it was an insult that he was ever touted as the "next Iniesta" with his level of tunnel vision. Shows that simple 1v1 dribbling and a bit of footwork here and there isn't enough to be Iniesta, far from it.

    Sergi Roberto

    Cause of like 10 mins of game time where he was getting in his first touches of the preseason and the intensity had already died? Did you not watch the Copa America where he was probably the best midfielder in the entire tournament and assisted in the final? Arthur is elite at passing, moving...

    Sergi Roberto

    My starting midfield right now is Arthur-FDJ-Roberto. Vidal backup to Roberto and to give him competition, Busi/Rakitic as bench fodder.

    Frenkie de Jong

    You definitely were undermining FDJ in favor of Rabiot. And you undermined De Ligt in favor of Lenglet at the same time. In fact, I distinctly remember you saying FDJ had a problem because he tried "too much forward passing" :lol:

    Barca pre-season 2019

    Coutinho is beyond awful and has total tunnel vision. Refuses to play 1 touch, constantly just getting in these slow ponderous 1v1 runs where he spins around like he's a dog chasing his tail trying to ditch his defender. Horrible, he is the B team level player.

    Barca pre-season 2019

    Coutinho is such a sad, tired sack of shit of a player lol. He just gets stuck in tight corners getting pressed to death and wasting time on the ball.

    Barca pre-season 2019

    This is the best game I've seen from a Barcelona midfield under Valverde. Just look at the ball movement.
