    Ilaix Moriba

    navid says he's been nothing but mediocre this season

    Frenkie de Jong

    Solid. Without his movement the team would be permanently stalled before second gear

    6 - Gavi

    Haven't seen a midfield prospect so strong on the ball since Thiago. Extremely well-rounded in opinion, made of the right stuff. He's 16, plays for Juvenil A.

    Konrad de la Fuente

    This guy should get the wing instead of pedri or coutinho. He can actually do some damage through the wide area and on transitions which is a dimension we desperately lack.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Not saying he should be a striker at all. Nor make runs down the wing.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    We need to ask ourselves why Messi never ever finds himself in the positions that normal attackers score from. Why is he always up against three opponents when Ronaldo finds himself with one? Why is he constantly drifting towards the left side of the box when he is more dangerous from the...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    It's like he is actively making sure that we have to make it harder on ourselves to score than any other team in the world. Whenever we are moving forward with momentum, he insists on dropping deep instead of moving with the flow and searching for spaces when the opposition is unbalanced. This...

    Clément Lenglet

    Bit reactionary takes. Most goals conceded have come from individual mistakes which isn't necessarily to do with the coaching. We also have injuries, which means new players and unestablished partnerships.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    What most likely happned is that he actually put in good hamstring rehab work this time around and kept at it in the beginning of his run of games but then started slacking when he thought the problem was gone. That's the curse of these hamstring issues. If they're vulnerable, all it takes is...

    Jordi Alba

    There is an issue in how often our attacks cultimate with a pass in from Alba and everything comes to rely on his ability to hit a teammate. 4 our of 10 times he puts it right into the legs of the nearest defender. Another 4 out of 10 is a pass back to Messi no matter how many opponents is...

    Jordi Alba

    He can't produce a dangerous cross to safe his life. Gets better service than any fullback in the world. We're literally leaving Dest by himself with 3 opponents while Alba gets 3 playmakers in gravitating to his area. And he can't fucking hit a teammate in the box.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I don't know what reality you're in but I'm arguing from the one where he found himself in pretty much zero dangerous positions for 90 minutes against Atletico. How's that for intelligent movement?

    Mavericky Puig

    I wonder what it actually is that Koeman has against him. Pedri might be a more classically talented player where Puig's game has a slightly weird composition, sharper around the edges. In the big picture they affect games in sorta similar ways, albeit through different types of situations. He...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    You're talking like I'm attacking the man. I have no agenda, just being realistic about him. What I'm saying is that while his genius has full outlet in games like Osasouna, it will have very diminished platform in tough, intense games unless he starts running for real. Games where the spaces...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    He was obviously great but I saw nothing in that performance that prompts any optimism about a his worth on the big stage. None of the genius he added today would have found passage against Atleti, for example.

    Martin Braithwaite

    If he was a good finisher I wouldn't have a problem with him but he's really not. If he starts you would have to get very used to this https://streamable.com/yjvgy8

    Martin Braithwaite

    I'm not saying that his style of movement doesn't provide good structure for the attack but you're kidding yourself if you believe that this guy will a) contribute creatively with anything beyond a lay off or a one-two station. or b) semi-consistently score non-tap in goals I mean, I'm not...

    La Liga | Round 11: FC Barcelona - Osasuna 4-0

    Coutinho playmaking from behind makes sense if he's anticipating a low block from Osasouna. Just hope he's not sticking Braithwaite on the wing. That would be a disaster.

    8 - Pedri

    Kiev was his best game yet imo. Looked sharp.

    Sergiño Dest

    Looking very productive. Noticed a burst of confidence after the goal, his involvement and output increasing. This is what the squad needs. Confidence. Very important.
