    Xavi Hernández

    One thing has to be said and that is the fact that we actually were able to -- a good number of times -- create attacking movements in which the wingers got the ball with the space and momentum from which you would expect a goal or at least a dangerous chance. it just so happened that Dembele...

    Xavi Hernández

    yeah the main issue isn't that Gavi and Pedri were moving around in those pockets, it's that they looked stuck in there. Anybody who's every played football knows how much more difficult and disorienting it is to deal with a dynamic opponent. Consistency is easy to mark because you don't...

    Xavi Hernández

    The midfield style just doesn't work. It produces nothing offensively and it's a huge liability defensively. How many times did we play out through Gavi or Pedri in that default setup and actually made something happen? Not once I think. Then when we press, they're all over the place, both...

    Xavi Hernández

    This is the biggest challenge of playing attacking possesion football: you have to be very good at feeling out the situation -- when it calls for advancement and when it calls for cooler heads to prevail. Very often it's a question of advancing with composure, of looking for executions while...

    Xavi Hernández

    Our attacks generally lack ambition and confidence. We settle for half-hearted crosses instead of looking for the cutting passes. Very few combinations through the middle. Even promising counter attacks just get pushed out to the winger for a cross. When we run into dead-ends we often just...

    well I think with the way I phrased it -- "i just find it hard to get over" -- it was clear that it was more of a personal subjective grievance than a substantial complaint but fair game

    Ousmane Dembélé

    damn, should have said the first game

    excuse me but without good posture you won't get anywhere in life! shoulders back, chest out, and a big smile. that's the only way to face this rotten ungodly world of ours

    great on the ball but i just find it so hard to get over the slugghish attitude. that drop of the chin everytime he has to cover ten metres

    Frenkie de Jong

    clearly brings something that neither Gavi, Pedri or Busquets can do. created more in more cameo on the wing than raphinha did all game

    Frenkie de Jong

    some of the most disgusting behavior i think i've ever seen from a club towards their player

    Miralem Pjanic

    not gonna lie it's a strange decision to keep two particularly old and slow dms in the same squad

    Xavi Hernández

    we don't really exploit spaces and we don't have much sophistication in the attacks. overall our game seems pretty random and pretty ordinary. yeah we'll probably be better than last year but that's not much. with this squad we should be challenging for CL and I honestly don't see it. might...

    Óscar Mingueza

    thought he was better than Dest honestly. sharper crosses and better positioning.

    Xavi Hernández

    if we play remotely like yesterday in a competitive match, nothing prevents us from getting sliced open by a well drilled pouncing la liga side early in the game and having to spend our second halves straining ourselves to break down a deep block. sound familiar? don't even want to envision cl...

    Xavi Hernández

    he clearly has a vision and it's clear that he has a good connection with the players -- from raising the excitement and intensity in our play to actively playing a role in bringing in new signings but sometimes you do wonder if there are not some absolutely basics in how you set up a balanced...

    so much quality packed into this guy's minutes. constant positive contributions

    seriously worrying overall display. no connection between the lines at all Dembele renewal looking smart tho

    2022 Pre-Season - starts 4th July

    blaming individual players right now is missing the point this is some of the most disorganized football ive seen a professional team play multuple markers on one opponent, leaving others completely open players clumping up in one zone and leaving three zones open behind them nico pressing...

    honestly can't believe how disorganized we look tactically. high effort press from us and they play two simple vertical balls and are through on goal. middle of the park completely open. they're not even good.
