    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    i could see Kays blossoming into a Noah Lang type of profile but maybe i'm too optimistic about his work ethic

    28 - Roony Bardghji

    someone's been checking my notes biggest talent of Danish football history still has to be the great Mohamed Zidan tho

    Xavi Hernández

    Realistically, having our flaws exposed while stilling getting away with three points is actually the best you could hope for.

    Abde Ezzalzouli

    Keep him on the right and stick Dembele on the left in a 4-3-3.

    Xavi Hernández

    why not just say what the XG score ended up being instead of these vague reductive inferences? understat has us at 3.37 against their 1.56

    Memphis Depay

    well that goal buys him a pass for now (even though I would have liked him to square it to Coutinho in the situation) but yeah, he's not good enough long term.

    Abde Ezzalzouli

    interesting player. for some reason i began thinking of when we had alexis sanchez out there who couldn't get past a man and put in a cross to save his life.

    Xavi Hernández

    that's actually quite reassuring

    Xavi Hernández

    i have a feellng he wants too badly to be a genius with this weird formation. defensively it's clearly very inefficient, inflexible and just overall confusing. offensively our major issue is getting it out from the back and starting an attack momentum. playing it out from the back must be a...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    He should go then. He looked great the other night but tbh our general lack of incisive threat provided a very flattering light to come on in. In the end, he put in some good crosses and some bad ones, that was it. There's still no guarantee that regular playing time will make him a great...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    The workrate is bigger than a pressure issue. He clearly walks way too much when in the team is in possession too. I remember having a breaking point with him in the Clasico in 19/20. There was a particular situation where he had stayed up front not bothering to defend RM's attack. Then we...

    Yusuf Demir

    he should start re-schooling himself as a 10 or hang up his boots. a winger that slow simply doesn't make sense. speed isn't just an issue when it's used. anyone who's played football knows that it functions as an essential bargaining piece when taking on a defender. if you're faster than...

    Yusuf Demir

    Send him back and go snatch up 16-yo future Ballon d'Or winner Roony Bardghji.

    Frenkie de Jong

    I counted three or four times he got a crucial touch in to snatch away a 50/50 chance for Benfica. He's there for those tackles and you can rely on him. Offensively, I think he's still a bit confused as to what exactly his role is. He would thrive more centrally, I think.

    8 - Pedri

    Can't build your midfield around someone who's that slow and weak. I'm not saying he can't be a great player, but come on, he's unreliable in quite a few aspects of the game and has a special tendency to drop out of the midfield battle when the heat is on.

    8 - Pedri

    I'd sell if it the money buys us a sure thing world class RW.

    6 - Gavi

    Should start on the left wing against Benfica. With Gavi - Depay in place, we have at least one reliable working connection. If we have that, I could live with Demir or Dest on the right as a joker. Coutinho - Depay - Gavi might seem like a more allround sensible choice but I fear we'll end up...

    Sergio Busquets

    This video of Kante encapsulates best what we're missing out on by playing Busquets. This is what you need if you want to play out from the back: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/qyk6sz/kante_puts_ndidi_on_skates/ Picture Busquets in Kante's place there. Outcome would be either: 1) a...

    Xavi Hernández

    So, it's obvious that it's not impossible for us to play good football. In certain periods of the game, we clearly show that we're capable. The problem ahead of us is turning this into consistency, which is mostly a mentality issue. We have certain collective bad habits that we need to rid...
