    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Suarez in general is far past his days where he is capable of putting on displays that warranted forcing him into the lineup the way Valverde is. Remember when everyone wanted a veteran striker who could come off the bench and help in a pinch? That should be Suarez's role now. He offers...

    Champions League game 4: Olympiacos vs Barcelona 0-0

    But the thing is, with our current midfield, he could easily be a key player for us. The only midfielder we have who is definitely a better player than Alena as of present is Iniesta and his age is a massive issue for him. Given the pre-season he had I would have been surprised if even Lucho...

    Champions League game 4: Olympiacos vs Barcelona 0-0

    The main argument for not promoting Alena never has anything to do with his current level of quality, that's what's so alarming. It's always just that he needs to develop with the B team. As if growing as a player isn't even possible with the first team or that if he doesn't have an OVR of X or...

    Champions League game 4: Olympiacos vs Barcelona 0-0

    I don't know where you're getting this argument from, I have nowhere said that he is using players less in comparison to others. That was something you yourself brought up. Alena deserves minutes, he is our best B team prospect and imo could easily show he is better than Gomes or Rakitic if...

    Champions League game 4: Olympiacos vs Barcelona 0-0

    How many? I really couldn't tell you. But Thiago might not have played as much at 19 as opposed to 20 when we had the greatest midfield in the world. Alena is sitting behind midfield legends like Rakitic, Gomes, and Paulinho. It's easy to just try and compare ages as if there are no other...

    So you think this is just Barca playing bad in a CL away game and isn't anything to be worried about?

    I led you into that one pretty easily. Thiago was quite easily one of Pep's favorite ever Barca B players. If Pep was here Alena would likely have been the same.

    Champions League game 4: Olympiacos vs Barcelona 0-0

    There was a time when a game like this would be a solid win regardless of circumstances. We used to win with players like Alex Song somehow forcing their way into the starting lineup. Man, were we spoiled or what? :lol:

    How many 19 year old players of Alena's clear and obvious quality did Pep have to choose from when he was manager here?

    Champions League game 4: Olympiacos vs Barcelona 0-0

    You're trying to use Alena's exact age as a reason for why he should not be used. Pep used to use players like Cuenca in games like these.

    Champions League game 4: Olympiacos vs Barcelona 0-0

    Alena's age is irrelevant. He's clearly the best B team player we have and he's not even making the bench in easy CL rounds. Valverde and his youth development is a complete and total farce.

    Alena not even on the damn bench but I guess that's fine since we have the almighty Paco Alcacer around. What are the apologists going to say now? I'm sure it's much better for his development to be watching the game from the stands.

    Valverde is a coward for not starting Alena in this game, btw.

    Denis in midfield and Roberto on the wing. What.

    André Gomes

    It really is a shame Rafinha is so god damned injury prone. Kid was developing so well when he was getting a decent string of games. His injury forced Lucho to obsess over a different not good enough youngster in Gomes and that really hurt us.

    Neymar Jr. - v5

    Whether he wants to come back or not, it will fill me with pride to see this club march on to success, whether it be this season or in the future, entirely without him. Every fucking time we lose all any non-fan I know can say is "Well they miss Neymar" and it makes me want to vomit.

    All it takes is the slightest bit of deductive reasoning, like... come on.

    Champions League game 4: Olympiacos vs Barcelona 0-0

    Basically the only young player suggested that we could start is Alena yet everyone opposed is using words like "Risk" and "Gamble" and are seriously trying to play up how terrifying Olympiacos at home will be as a reason for why we shouldn't use young players. The same people who will probably...

    Champions League game 4: Olympiacos vs Barcelona 0-0

    Some people act as if starting Alena over Rakitic is some kind of huge gamble and it could cost us the game against such a tough opponent. Lol. The anti-La Masia rhetoric is always going to be strong but in this case you're really just wrong. Playing Alena in this game would probably improve...
