    Xavi Hernández

    It surely has something to do with the manager. wouldn't pin rafa and felix on him though. they never performed any better. Gundo being inconsistent in front of goal, has hardly anything to do with the manager also. overall as a team we perform worse than we should as a collective.

    Julián Álvarez

    As a world cup winner, he is not overrated. he is rated exactly as he should be.

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Is Miguel Gutiérrez available? perhaps a straight swap deal? Just get Balde somewhere else, the kid looks to be brainless.

    Ernesto Valverde

    Checkout Valverders masterclass coaching that lead to the 2018 title. You might spot a couple of pretty decent players on the frontline, obviously capitalizing on the amazing tactics and interplay designed buy the maestro. Clearly comparable with Xavi's squad. Check out the 2019 too...

    Xavi Hernández

    Valencia could not create anything without crossing. Even so, they managed to score a goal due to a miscommunication in defense. This happens and it's ok. But our attackers decided they can't score shit. Rafa, Ferran and Lewa all with golden chances. Add Gundo to that list. Don't be fooled...

    8 - Pedri

    what I Don't like about him is the extremely casual attitude. he finds himself in the right side of the box and has no urgency to do something. it's the opposite of messi who executed actions in milliseconds to avoid a tacle, pedri moves like a sloth. will never be good at AM

    11 - Raphinha

    why not sub him? he didn't miss one chance. he lost many vlear cut chances with missed controls and bad passing. he presses well. perhaps a way to keep him in is to replace pedri with him and slot yamal on the right uf we need a goal. yamal even if too raw and too young creates 2-3 really good...

    Xavi Hernández

    we used to win games like this playing only the b team at a time no serious talent existed in our academy. you could see the same patterns of play, attitude and philosophy no matter what players we fielded, even though the level was lower. Now there is nothing. losing against this level of...

    Liga Round 17: Valencia - Barca 1-1

    Not sure I will bother watching us losing badly again on a Saturday night

    CL Round 6: Antwerp - Barca 3-2

    Damn.. wasn't actually expecting a loss and leaking 3 goals against these guys.. no offence.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Some of his defending was shocking to be honest. Just watching the play without a care in the world. Must be coached at defending. His other attributes on the ball are greate.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    He started in September and world cup was in December. That is a really small amount of games, and if I remember correctly he cost us the away game vs Bayern, exactly like the last one vs Girona. Surely his level dropped after the WC but 2 months of mostly good games isn't good enough for a...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Can we get a glimpse of that kind of player? Because all we get is missed sitters, wrong passes, mistimed runs, heavy touches, turnovers, miscommunication and whiney attitude.

    11 - Raphinha

    How did he end up at Barca? werent there any other moderately young wingers who are not fast, can't dribble, can't score, can't pass and can only cross, for free? Did we have to pay for all that?

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    He played in a position no one understood, not even him, not even Xavi. It would make more sense to use him as inverted rb and keep Chris in while subbing off Kounde. With systems like this I will attribute no fault on him.

    CL Round 6: Antwerp - Barca 3-2

    Expecting a loss here to be the icing on the beautiful cake Xavi has been cooking for the past 3 seasons.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    As I already said Before Lewa was brought in. Auba + LDJ for peanuts is better than Lewa.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Argentina solved it nicely. Messi with little defensive duties (although he did fall back with the team when defending unlike lewa) and Alvarez pressed for 1.5 players.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    40 yo retired Messi would score more than all these bums in our offense. And its not like lewa is helping our defense either when, staying beyond the halfway line while we are under pressure. He even got screamed at for that this game. Raphinia is the only one that actually defends like a mad...
