    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    The point of a Noa Lang type would be to increase the tempo of the attack. I don't see how we can do that without someone who can drive it forward, receive in stride and be inventive in final third.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Well, it's easy to speak in vague and general terms and dismiss names when you don't name any yourself. Ironically, what you're describing - more direct attacking, on-ground focal point, runs in behind defenses - that's exactly what a player like Noa Lang offers. I'm not saying he's...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    We're currently playing Sevilla rejects, third division players and memes like Martin Braithwaite. Not a single one of our reliably fit players is able to fill in 10% of the creative gap left by Messi. You don't think it's time to re-think the concept of being "good enough for Barcelona?"

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    To me, Haaland seems at least as dumb an idea as Dembele was. We simply don't have the creative facilities nor the attacking intensity to support him. That's one thing. The other is style of play. You probably couldn't pick a team in all of top flight football that suits him less than ours...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Still think his drop is being significantly exaggerated. He's not cutting it at the moment, but people are acting like he's putting in 2's and 3's when he's more like a 5 in a team that averages 6. He made a mistake yesterday but was otherwise fine, mediocre, meh - just like the rest of the team.

    honestly can't tell if this guy is being serious or not...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Why are you linking to a hamstring muscle and saying it's the knee mate?

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Well the injured part is not the knee, so I'd say it's not a knee injury.

    8 - Pedri

    Maybe. Is it also unfair to expect him to try?

    8 - Pedri

    It is a comparison. I didn't say it's not a comparison?? I said it's not a comparison of who is more talented. It's a comparison of how they played tonight.

    8 - Pedri

    Still don't think he was bad at all. Just inadequate, as was most of our team.

    8 - Pedri

    Sorry, but what is your point about the comparison being unfair? It's not a discussion of who's the more talented player. It's an analysis of why one team was better than the other tonight. Saying that it's unfair makes as much sense as telling the ref that it's unfair that their players have...

    Oh jesus christ, now it's another excuse. His age might be a factor if this was about intelligence or decision making or whatever but that's clearly got nothing to do with any of what I said.

    8 - Pedri

    Blaming the manager and his teammates for his shortcomings seems a bit thin but sure, the rest of the team is not necessarily any better. And the other excuse, that it's not Pedri's role to attack, bit thin too. Besides being a winger, Muniain was all over the midfield too, central and...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    He could relatively normally. Won't necessarily be two months but let's see. Do your nordic hammys kid.

    8 - Pedri

    A nice presence when the game got chaotic. In the big picture though, our midfield failed miserably in transitioning to attacking situations and he did nothing to change that. The window of opportunity in these games are brief and the spaces need to be attacked with urgency. Too much languid...

    Xavi Hernández

    As it stands we're spending roughly half the game fucking about in our own half, trying to get it out of the pressure. If we eventually got it out and created something from it, then I could understand, but we literally never do. It's ridiculous at this point.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    I'd bench him. His ceiling is enticing and he did play well last game -- but -- it's still a gamle with him either way. If he could guarantee solid useful contributions it would be another story but I don't like the idea of playing someone who's half out the door just because he might be helpful.

    8 - Pedri

    Thought he was very good at the Euros, I won't argue with you there. Still think there's a tendency to overrate what he does. Maybe you should just let that be and get on with your night.
