    Xavi Hernández

    The biggest thing I want to highlight with his time at Al-Sadd is how difficult it is to get players of that quality playing the sort of football they were playing, considering just how different tactically they were before he arrived. In terms of lack of experience in Europe, what I would say...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Yeah man, you are one of the few people on here in the last few pages that is actually rationale about this and spitting facts. Not coming at you at all and my post wasnt really intended to be exclusionary or ignore those who are saying similar things. However, the narrative in the media, on...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Holy shit this thread…a lot of absurdity to digest in one morning :lol: So many have fallen for the typical BBZ bait post. Lets stop with the revisionist history to fit a narrative for a minute and take this step by step here: First off, I swear we are like the ONLY fanbase that gets THIS...

    Ronald Koeman

    Genuinely curious what makes people think that Dembele returning will magically improve things at all considering what he has shown under Koeman so far. We havent had a discernible pattern of play in our attacks at all and offensively, Koeman only looks to utilize the wings and has no idea how...

    La Liga | Round 8: FC Barcelona - Valencia CF 3-1

    What I am afraid of is Koeman is doing such a shit job with it that he will turn off the fans and board from accepting it in the future.

    La Liga | Round 8: FC Barcelona - Valencia CF 3-1

    “ The modern variant 3-4-3 emerged in the late nineties as a revolutionary response to the classic system 4-4-2. ” https://www.sportifico.com/profeed/665-3-4-3-from-pozzo-and-chapman-to-conte-and-muslin/ The 3-4-3 being a hard counter to the 4-4-2 has been established in the football tactical...

    24 - Eric García

    The goal being bullshit or not does not change the fact that he does not look like he is good enough. My basic thing with Eric is he looks decent everywhere except the one place a CB needs to be dominant: in the box. Not saying ship him out immediately, I am willing to give him a couple years...

    Best Starting 11 and Formation?

    I will give you Alba but Busi and Lenglet is a massive L. Busi is only a sub at this point and I am so done with Lenglet gifting goals to the opposition. Also genuinely confused at how you want a team that is in the top 4 while leaving out our most creative midfielder. No Pedri is another...

    Everything I have heard regarding Dumbele and his contract has been that everything is proceeding as normal with a short renewal. Tbf, we have heard this before and it has been fairly quiet recently as it seems the priority for renewals is the young guns and figuring out the whole Roberto...

    Best Starting 11 and Formation?

    Yup, Alba v. Balde is pretty 50/50. Out of all of the amigos left, Alba is the one who probably has the biggest shout for deserving to be starting still. That said, I am just ready to turn the page on all of them ASAP and Balde showed a lot in the short amount of time he had against Bayern that...

    Best Starting 11 and Formation?

    Mingueza has that height and recovery speed that is important for our back line centrally. Especially since we need to play a higher line, I put a premium on that overall pace and recovery speed and he is solid aerially. No reason he cannot rotate as RB occasionally but I would like for him to...

    As helpful and constructive as this comment is to the general conversation, I for one, am eager with anticipation to see the XI you post that will be better than this so called ‘relegation’ side :coffee: I want Dembele gone next summer, my guy. Ideal world we include him in a deal for Haaland...

    And even if Laporta wants it, a whole other thing to get the socis to swallow it as well.

    Barca will reveal the due diligence, full financial audit and the economic ruin to the socis on Wednesday. The possibility of becoming a ?SAD? (owned by a corporation, not the club?s members) is closer than ever. - @elperiodico https://twitter.com/barcauniversal/status/1444443915231375361?s=21...

    Ronald Koeman

    There has been a pretty large disconnect between the football the first team has played and the football our youngsters are brought up learning in La Masia, really since the days of Lucho arguably. Plenty of reasons for this but I just wouldnt call our recent approach La Masia or tiki-taki :)...
