    Nico Williams

    Wouldn't say Nico is a great dribbler. He's got speed and an eye for the incisive move but he isn't particularly creative or slick.

    Nico Williams

    He might be slightly better than someone like Ferran on the overall but he'll never be at the level we should strive for in the long term. 50m seems a lot for a slight (not even guaranteed) improvement.

    11 - Raphinha

    I'm overall positive about him but pretty disappointed with the number of long range crackers he's scored. One of the most appealing aspects of his game before he came. Scored one against Real in his first pre-season and had me buzzing. But since then basically nothing.

    Vitor Roque

    You see him receive the ball and he just seems extremely limited and primitive in what he can do. You could compare with Suarez but although Suarez looked sort of barbaric and clumsy, his actions were high level, often low key genius. This is not the same type of player.

    yeah i tried it but could probably have had more patience and persistence with the rehab. thanks tho, good luck with your studies! interesting field i've always thought.

    True. I've had this for years and it's a pain in the arse to get rid of. You can sort of play with the pain but it just gets worse and worse. You take a long rest, slowly rehab, and then as soon as you're feeling back to your old ability, the pain appears again. At first just a slight soreness...

    Memphis Depay

    Better player than Felix.

    He's good at using what pace he does have. Plus at 16 he will still get incrementally quicker.

    I think he's about Braithwaite level. Even when things were working out for him against Mallorca, it just looked unconvincing. Something clearly missing.

    Refs hate him for some reason. Gets no protection at all.

    8 - Pedri

    A player that was always better in our heads than on the pitch. The redolence of Iniesta is hollow, has mostly to do with inconsequential details. In terms of actual presence on the pitch, how they influence the game, there is very little resemblence.

    8 - Pedri

    Frenkie twisted his ankle in a way that would put anyone on crutches. Pedri injured himself by playing a pass.

    João Cancelo

    "Pass it, don't dribble, pass, no, he's gonna lose it, he's gonna lose it, he's losing it, he lost it." - me, approx 5 times pr game.

    Liga Round 26: Athletic Bilbao - Barca 0-0

    Kounde constantly close to giving it away

    Liga Round 26: Athletic Bilbao - Barca 0-0

    Just a sprained ankle. Most likely a couple of weeks out

    Liga Round 26: Athletic Bilbao - Barca 0-0

    Pedri has zero killer instinct. Huge chance and he looks completely nonchalant messing up his touch.

    Frenkie de Jong

    The dimwits calling him out for taking too long on the ball are mistaking responsibility for passivity. We have plenty of circulation for the sake of circulation. We never fucking get anywhere. What he's doing is taking it upon his shoulders to actually progress the ball in a meaningful way...

    CL Round of 16: Napoli - Barca 1-1

    Christensen looks like he's about to shit himself everytime the ball is played to him. With him and idling Pedri, our 4 man midfield looks like 2,5.

    Sure it would. He could start by simply instructing Pedri not to defend like this: https://streamin.me/v/1f94ae03 That would be a pretty good start.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Defensively we're likely to be improve pretty drastically under a new coach. Our midfielders play basically without any positional disciplin. We sacrifice all shape and structure in favor of this erratic indiscriminate pressure.
