    Juan Miranda

    Getting a pre-assist with a long switch and playing a lobbed through ball behind the defense aren't contributing to offense now? Those are two passes that Alba has barely done in his career let alone in a single game. It's not just about just running with your head down to overlap->cross. Being...

    Mavericky Puig

    I also think he's getting overhyped atm, especially by Barca twitter. He had many impressive plays but also times where he just got crowded out and stifled in duels or tight situations. His tiny stature can actually be a problem because real physical pressure could overwhelm him and he did look...

    Malcom

    I think he showed a lot of promising signs. He is an intuitive dribbler and protects the ball a lot better than Dembele, using his body to shield. Dembele can accelerate faster but hasn't learned to shield the ball yet while Malcom is mature and crafty. He also has a very good feel for shooting...

    Arthur

    But I think we should be transitioning Coutinho to the midfield as well, and that we need a change in identity in that area. Arthur seems like a player that is a culture changer in a team. There were several times yesterday that Arthur orchestrating a bunch of 1 touch passing plays between 3-4...

    André Gomes

    This injury was honestly not that unexpected. Gomes is a gym rat and thats probably the main thing he focuses on as a football player. In the Barca emojis thing every single player gave him the flex emoji because he's the strongest one on the team in terms of lifting and spends all his time in...

    Juan Miranda

    Miranda was clearly one of the best players on the pitch along with Rafinha and Arthur. He made several incredible plays and passes in one half alone, a fearless performance on his debut. Great talent, IMO he should be promoted and used as Alba's backup for sure. Cucu is not at this level and...

    Arthur

    Would be unfortunate if duds like Gomes, Paco, Munir, or Rafinha get much playing time. Even Denis I really don't care to see. I want the players with legit talent to be able to show what they can do, the likes of Ruiz, Arthur, Monchu, Miranda, etc.

    Matthijs de Ligt

    I don't think he's a do or die target for us but man I would kill to have him here. He looks truly legit. Look at all that he has done by the age of 18: Not only that but was one of the best players in the Europa League final against United aged 17. Since then he looks like he's put on some...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Blind subbed on and FDJ still playing in defense... Smh If they insist on this hopefully at least it keeps his price down. I don't think it'll stunt his technical development in any way. He looks very comfortable out there technically, trying to get involved in the offense/buildup as much as he...

    Malcom

    All of this is so reductive in context. Pep is "just a part" of Barca's rise? Lol come on. Zidane is no genius but he's very intelligent and sensible when it comes to continuation. The RM team he took on was the same one that was a world beater under Ancelotti, only underperformed under...

    Frenkie de Jong

    One could say the hype for him has been disguised by the fact that he's been playing at CB. Had the highest passing % in Eredivisie despite the fact that he strives to make difficult passes (long balls, passes between lines) as often as possible. One of the highest dribble completion rates too...

    Malcom

    Come on man you're either being disingenuous or just refusing to see the facts. Pep absolutely transformed Barca given where we were literally a season before. From the bold decisions to move on from Ronaldinho and Deco to completely reconstructing our footballing style and system, there's...

    Malcom's Barca career: Born and died on July 23, 2018. RIP

    Malcom

    I don't get how people can see him as a pace abuser. If anything I think he's clearly slower than Dembele and relies more on craftiness and change of direction to beat players off the dribble. His straight line driving dribbles are often labored and pressed. Dembele's a lot faster but Malcom...

    Blasphemy! We are FC Workhorse

    Malcom

    If that was the case with Willian on the cards I don't see why it would change. If we manage to get Malcom at 40-45 then he's much cheaper than Willian would be. I like him, might as well add good attacking depth and some competition for Dembele. He certainly looks like a very dangerous player

    Ramon Rodriguez Jimenez "Monchu"

    He reminds me a lot of Verratti. Really quick and agile, obviously great feel for the game and passing range. He also has that aggression and tenacity on defense. One to watch, especially if he's playing for us this preseason. With Monchu, Miranda, Morey, Abel Ruiz, etc. this is one of the...

    Alphonso Davies

    Huh? For me Kimmich was the best that game and quite handily. Ribery was extremely wasteful in the final third and ineffective (along with the rest of the Bayern attackers) while their midfield actually did a number on RM's in both legs. Kimmich and James were the clear best in that tie overall IMO.

    Alphonso Davies

    Davies may not be the immediate answer but in their best interests Bayern should be moving on from Ribery/Robben pretty much immediately. Should've done it already too and played them in smaller roles, I feel like both could make a good impact off the bench. No CL contending team should be...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Doesn't make much sense for them to fight so hard to keep him for another year only to waste him at CB again. I could understand doing it because of injuries/necessity but otherwise it's even more baffling than playing the likes of Coutinho/Paulinho at RM or Song at CB. I hope that the CL...
