    Ronald Koeman

    christ, his subs are a joke did i count right that we ended the game with 5 defenders, 1 attacker and 4 cms?

    Sergio Busquets

    His connection with Messi was one of the last positives offsetting his deficits. With that gone, he's not got much left.

    6 - Gavi

    i have a couple of concerns. most salient is probably his tendency to run himself into blocks and blind alleys.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Yeah calm down a bit mate, there's a difference between a disinterested assessment of what type of player he is and an excuse. You can say he's been shit all day long and i'd agree with you. That doesn't change the fact that as a player, he's more suited to a direct style where there's only one...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Well, with Messi, our style involved intricate fluctuations of tempo and Dembele was never really able to crack the logic of that style, when to put on the break and when to step on the gas. I think this constantly being out of sync, not sure what to do, stifled him a lot. He clearly thrived in...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    he would actually fare much, much better now in post-Messi but moot point since he's most definitely going to get injured again and again

    8 - Pedri

    Right so if I'm understanding you correctly, then there was apparently a rigid, non-contingent game plan in place that prohibited Pedri from helping out with beating the pressure and maintaining general possession and that is why he wasn't involved in the game, and that you're in no way making...

    8 - Pedri

    If you aren't involved in the game as a midfielder, then that's on you. The coach gives instructions and those are based on certain presuppositions. Those presuppositions might be miscalculated or they might change. When they do, are you expecting the coach to stop the game and call for a...

    8 - Pedri

    I agree. When you have two players in midfield who are fairly easy to neutralize with organized pressure, then then whole midfield is drowned out. If one of either Busi or Pedri were more mobile, it would free up space for the other one to do their thing, get their own flow going. But two out of...

    congratulations to him, we were still dominated last night

    8 - Pedri

    absolutely ridiculous to imply that Iniesta had a 'support role'. he wasn't some Ozil drifter with sporadic dribble tours and through balls. he was absolutely instrumental in maintaining possession, cooling off the game as soon as it heated up. he was there for 90 minutes right in the engine room.

    8 - Pedri

    convenient cop out, isn't it? doesn't matter how you're positioning yourself as a midfiedler - if you go 10-15 minutes without touching the ball while your team is struggling, then you're doing something wrong. also, i'd be willing to excuse it if he actually delivered something from that...

    8 - Pedri

    Our midfield yesterday: Frenkie 1,2 touches pr. minute. Busquets 0,9 touches pr. minute. Pedri 0,7 touches pr. minute. yes, he's tired but this is the type of player he is. likes to hang back and wait his turn. frenkie goes and makes it his turn. that's the difference. doesn't matter how...

    Mavericky Puig

    his physique is a bit of a meme around here lol. not a powerhouse by any stretch but he's got a bit of fast twitch muscle rigidity. shrugs of an 185m Bundesliga kid at 1:10 here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeT-rcj0t5w also didn't exactly have any problems dealing with Thomas Partey on his...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwc7rZAMjrQ&t=90s 1:30 i know it's like the fourth time i'm mentioning but this is comical the boy doesn't know how to fucking run everybody runs differently and gavi obviously has a 'style' but this is ridiculous, he looks like a fucking racewalker...

    Martin Braithwaite

    eh, he ran alot, fought for every ball and maybe the best thing you could say about him was how his spirit rubbed on on the rest of the team in a positive way but almost every single time he found himself in a position to make a decisive action, he failed. bad finishes, heavy touches, dumb passes.

    Martin Braithwaite

    He was awful in the Euros. Take it from a Dane. If anything, he offers much more to this Barca side than he does for the NT.

    Memphis Depay

    discount Neymar is on the money, although not that discount

    Sergiño Dest

    you can clearly see the ability it's just that he is somewhat confused as to how to apply it

    Martin Braithwaite

    he's actually an inspiring testiment to how far you can get just playing your strengths
