    6 - Gavi

    Pressured at some instances but overall no quality shown. Too young? Perhaps it's the case. Should not be a starting mid for Barca, but we are not the Barca of old.

    7 - Ferran Torres

    Well, he looks better than Raphinia currently, if that counts for anything. But hold up play was as bad as Lewa.

    Liga Round 23: Almeria - FC Barcelona 1-0

    The board wanted fans to believe something new is cooking and boost those social media and attendance numbers to attract sponsors. That's the logic. Also, sporting wise, he has helped us for the lead in the title race, so it does make some sense. People forget we touched middtable last season.

    Xavi Hernández

    ETH could have come here with the right incentive. It's not productive to assume anyway, anyone could be right and we will never no. But apart from that. Did we ever bother to bring him, or was it xavi first choice. If we made a contact and he rejected us, I am not sure how many other options...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    If you are constantly 100% negative at some point you are gonna be proven correct. My opinion has been that Auba and Lukk would be just good enough for our current level. Lewa is also overated and on top of that is now old and no longer has access to bayerns "special nutrition".

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    A factor could be leading an average Argentina side to a world cup at 34yo after 30+ plus years and winning the best player of the tournament award. Messi has deserved the award every single time he got it and even more. He has been at least a level better than any other player of his generation.

    Copa: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 1-4

    Don't lose with more than 2. Return leg is far away and we might actually regain form by then.

    23 - Jules Kounde

    We must forget competing against the big boys for next season. We have no money to do that and except if the academy produces 4 Pedri level prospects until next season it's impossible. We need first tem RB, DM, LW and backup for CF, CM, RW. Shipping kessie, Ferran, raphinia and fati is a must...

    La Liga 2022/23

    We shouldn't be having a meltdown for a league loss since forever, with our best players out too. We must bounce back quickly though.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    It would be weird if it didn't. Every WC season it has the most impact in the voting. But apart from that, is there another player individually performing above and beyond apart from Mbappe? He is the only one really on that individual level I think.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    He is clearly the top dribbler out there in the wing areas. Just stay fit you bastard. All our squad getting injuries now is a clear sign of a really thin squad. We have too few players compared to other teams. That's what being financially in the dump gets you. But also, wasting millions for...

    11 - Raphinha

    Had some hope once and it's still his first season. But he needs to show more to compete with Dembele. At the beginning they shared minutes and it was in more equals terms. Now he is clearly below.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Go for balon'Dor now. Mbapee is behind him due to WC loss, no matter what. Lewaflopski ha no say. Neymar is not even close. Only Benzema if he explodes in cl again could have an argument, but in a WC season, kind of hard. Who else could be considered?

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Pray for 0-0.

    Franck Kessie

    Serviceable should not mean play for important cl matches. More like against la Liga bottom half for rotation. Pique and busquets were bigger reasons for our exit

    Xavi Hernández

    About Ferran and raphinia. Bot are starters in two of the best national teams. It wasn't so illogical to believe they are good. But the top talent these days just isn't so easy to access like it used to be. Prices have skyrocketed. 60m buys you an ok attacker. Both are ok, but we are used to...

    Franck Kessie

    Garcia is serviceable. We shouldn't drop all our squad because we would have too few players. But raphinia, Ferran, fati, Roberto, kessie can be replaced by pretty much anyone. Busquets can also be replaced by a proper dm.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    I don't want to be harsh on him. He got old. We should be angry with club for signing him at this age. Keep Auba and dejong and we are still probably ahead in the league. Still out of cl and el probably too, but no real difference for 50m.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Seems players fall of a cliff when they leave Bayern and their totally legit "nutrition" program.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    I do see it clearly. He is the most menacing player. Not so much end product, but he terrorizes defenders. But has never been available when needed.
