    La Liga Round 2: Barca - Athletic Bilbao 2-1

    Bernal has yet to make a single forward pass I think.

    La Liga Round 2: Barca - Athletic Bilbao 2-1

    Bad mistake but he's the only one making interesting forward passes.

    La Liga Round 2: Barca - Athletic Bilbao 2-1

    Midfield is non-existent. Everything we do going forward bypasses our pivots. No pass and move. Circulation slow.

    La Liga Round 2: Barca - Athletic Bilbao 2-1

    Don't have a lot of faith in that midfield. Let's see what happens but my guess is we'll have a hard time progressing the ball from the back.

    Vitor Roque

    The disapproval by one more manager will be the nail in the coffin for his resale value. If a >15 mil offer was on the table, we should've taken it.

    15 - Andreas Christensen

    The achilles thing is a bitch to rid of. You can sort of play with the discomfort but it will only get worse until you take a proper break and slow rehab. It's probably a decision to sacrifice some time in order to deal with it proper.

    Penal Madrid

    Multiple injuries to start the season and absent late winner at Mallorca. Let's hope the black magic is running out!

    Federico Chiesa

    A player of Chiesa's quality is not going to resolve our LW headache. Realistically he will just become one more candidate rotating for the position alongside Raphinha, Olmo, Pau Victor, Ferran, Gavi or who else we're thinking of putting there. Much rather wait until we can get someone world...

    17 - Marc Casadó

    Great game from him. Particularly liked his pings out to the opposite wing. Has a good passing range.

    7 - Ferran Torres

    He does ok as a dynamic 9 but should not be played in a creative position. Doesn't really constribute to anything.

    22 - Marc Bernal

    obviously way too cautious, both with his passing and positioning. not a bad game but doesn't look comfortable at this level

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Looks pretty composed even when things aren't working out.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    The difference in quality from 1st to 2nd half mostly due to Valencia switching off. But nice to see we have energy reserves to come out on top when late game fatigue sets in.

    The issue we're discussing is who performed better in pre-season...

    La Liga Round 1: Valencia - Barca 1-2

    Well, in football you have to run. Feel like this is a pretty bad case of rose tinted glasses for a type of player that satisfies the understated genius fantasy. You are not thinking at a lower level by recognizing that Casado had a nice assist (didn't he?) while Bernal's most salient action...

    La Liga Round 1: Valencia - Barca 1-2

    With what we've got I would probably go with Christensen and Casado with Raphinha as AM, Yamal on RW and Ferran or Pau Victor on LW.

    La Liga Round 1: Valencia - Barca 1-2

    Feels like I was watching different games than anyone else. I thought Bernal looked much worse than Casado, who didn't look particularly good himself.

    La Liga Round 1: Valencia - Barca 1-2

    eh... why are there multiple people on here suggesting that we start a 17-year old pivot who in his first semi-competitive game nearly cost two goals by individual mistakes?

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    The one thing I want to see this year is some actual chemistry between our core players. Yamal, Pedri, Frenkie, Gundo, Lewy, maybe Raphinha but he's not that type of quality. Seen sparks here and there but don't think we've had the real thing for quite some years.

    Vitor Roque

    If we truly rejected 25m from Everton and end up not getting another offer then that is one of the dumbest decisions in club history.
