    I left it out of courtesy, because makes it worse. We were 10 men because Cubarsi wanted nothing with the ball when he saw Mbappe pressing him, and Araujo can't pass, then tried to fix a mistake with another mistake. It was a personal problem, exactly as you said, not a system one. Which...

    We concedes 5 goals in 180 minutes last year, we coneded 6 against a superior Inter this year. In all 4 games, our Centerbacks played their worst games of the season in it. And it wasn't just the games we went out, there are many others they underperformed in both seasons. Never mind the...

    Our CB are the new Ter Stegen, they underperformed consistently in CL regardless the coach and the system

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Ferran is the most probable Lewandowski replacement. It is underwhelming for a club that historically had great strikers like ours, but you could do far worse. Very few big clubs plays with true CF, never mind world class one.

    The same personal underperformed in high stake games in the last 2 years under a system designed favourably for them. It is absolutely the personal.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    6th attacker is going to be filled with a prospect, which is fine tbh. Lamine Lewa Raphinha & Ferran are solid 4 man rotation, you get good winger as 5th option, and give 6th spot to whoever prove himself from La Masia, and we are good. There is no indication of Lewa leaving, and I am not...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I mean sure, you can beat them to signings with lower financial package, but no one will join you for significant lower package, with rare exceptions. Having competition will raise the price, though. It also gives a player options to think about his role. Look at Jorrel Hato for example, he...

    If we want to fight for CL, getting a kid won't help our chances that much.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    The main issue in the next mercato, is that the positions there are plenty of players available is the same ones that demand is too high. CF? Gyökeres, Osmihan, Sesko are available, but Manu, Liverpool & Arsenal are all fighting for those signings, along Saudi clubs. We need a LB, yet...

    CL Semi Final: Inter - Barca 4-3

    At this stage last year, top 4 were BVB, poor Bayern, average PSG and RM. If anything, this CL is actually one of the rare occasions in the 2020's that all teams are actually really strong in the SF. We weren't overconfident. Lamine is the type of guy who likes controversy and likely see it ss...

    CL Semi Final: Inter - Barca 4-3

    We have played 8 finals in our history. 4 were in the span of a decade between 05/06 to 14/15 season. Another 3 were between 85/86 to 93/94 seasons. In other words, two purple patches have lead to 87.5% of our final appearances. This is why European success shouldn't define our season tbh...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Headers are actually one of the most favourable attacking plans for analytics. That is with even strong teams in air, not our clown show.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    When you face an opponent that have massive advantage physically and in aerial challenges, you have to press high and avoid them spamming crosses at the end, this is what gives you space. We could have played more conservative at the end, then Acerbi scores a header instead of a tap in, and we...

    Inter Milan

    Inter has been the worse team in the 4 games they played in QF & SF. It is like rooting for Simeone shit show tbh

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We scored 3 goals twice in what us arguably the best defense in Europe, while Lewa is out. This is with Lamine having a howler in his finishing, Raphinha being contained due to no Balde, having both fullbacks out, Olmo having a shit game. Offense could do some upgrading, but it isn't a...

    20 - Dani Olmo

    People are just living in their imaginary world. AM would have been our weakest position if no Olmo is signed. And the guy accepted the conditions regarding registration that no one else would. Like the fullbacks we would have signed based on those who we can afford, were gonna be Cardona and...

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    Yes. The last statement is true for most GK btw. Even Neuer who was considered generational GK, same with Casillas and even young Cortouis. Only Buffon and pre head injury Cech that weren't very mistake prone.

    20 - Dani Olmo

    Back to Olmo. He is essential to our league success despite the injuries. But he dissappear in big games. This is something that has to change next year, in this positive he is essential for any successes we would hope for in Europe.

    20 - Dani Olmo

    At least, but could be a decade or more. 433 is on it's way out. It is more or less becoming outdated gameplan. There are no more CDM that are built for that position and most coaches prefer to have 2 players to seek control of midfield. Even our own academy players like Bernal and Casado...

    20 - Dani Olmo

    Olmo will be sold if we change 4231 formation. It is the only formation he would get a position in it. Lucky for him, 4231 is here to stay.
