    Ronald Koeman

    This is what I am saying man, it has literally been fucking ages since we have had anyone who has had any sort of clue in terms of how to compete and properly manage a squad.

    Ronald Koeman

    I take back everything I said about him being better than Valverde :lol: Jesus fucking Christ: The Barca players did not know who would start, nor the formation, up until 2 hours before the Benfica match. The team did not practice defensive movements in the 3-5-2, despite having 3 days to...

    Joan Laporta

    Not sure where else to post this but Reshad posted this thread on Twitter and its pretty big news, giving us an actual picture of the sporting directors roles and such: https://twitter.com/reshadrahman_/status/1443181162692849671?s=21

    CL | Round 2: SL Benfica - FC Barcelona 3-0

    If Roberto starts, automatic L and Koeman is blind, sackless and hasnt learned shit. Tonight will tell us A LOT about Koeman.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    This rate, if I understand correctly, is based on our annual account balances and wage expenditures. Basically, this is what La Liga says is within our means on paper this year, based on the figures in our accounts. So should we finalize a deal like the one that came out yesterday that allows...

    Premier League 2021/2022

    Put a decent amount of thought into this actually. Basically, a modern rendition of the WM formation is best I can think of, looking at it strictly from a numbers/theoretical perspective. Love it or hate it, it deserves respect. Tuchel has made this team ridiculously hard to score on.

    Ronald Koeman

    So while other people may be criticizing Koeman with reactionary takes, this is far from reactionary from me. Again, its not about the results themselves but how these games play out and crucially the sort of approach we take in these games. You named it yourself earlier: everyone knew when he...

    Who Should Laporta Appoint: Xavi or Roberto Martinez?

    I am speaking strictly for myself here. I am sure plenty who like Xavi would blindly twerk for him, even if we are losing 5-0 every match and dont deserve it. I, for one, will not be one of those people :lol: In terms of Pimienta: I really wish he was in the running as I fully agree he is...

    Ronald Koeman

    With Koeman, go look how he did a Joaquin, a fucking legend in Seville, during his time in Valencia. Plenty of other examples of him having these explosive riffs with players and he seems to always go for low hanging fruit. Never going after big stars or dressing room powerhouses and always on...

    Who Should Laporta Appoint: Xavi or Roberto Martinez?

    Tell me, have you actually watched Al-Sadd at all? I am pretty clearly in the Xavi camp but if the writing on the wall he is out of his depth, he wont more time than Roberto would or Koeman has so far strictly due to him being a legend. You can quote me on this too: if he comes in and we...

    Ronald Koeman

    Disagree with the problems with Koeman are only personality wise. The Atlantic did a great article really looking at how tactically flawed we were against Bayern. He is continually outclassed by other managers on the big stage. Disagree with the idea that Xavi cannot progress the team. Only...

    Philippe Coutinho

    If anyone goes back and watches the last 10 minutes of the the match last night, you can see exactly what I am referencing. - Pedri, Gavi etc. are not just passing merchants. There was one passing exchange between Gavi, Puig & Busi where the ball finally was circulated with some pace. Couple...

    Ronald Koeman

    Lot of truth in the 2nd part here. People really need to lower expectations a bit as I still think this has not bottomed out yet. But the difference is CR left at probably the best time he could have while Messi arguably the worst, especially considering you got 100 mil out of CR while we got...

    Who Should Laporta Appoint: Xavi or Roberto Martinez?

    If whoever comes honestly does that, they need to be gone as quickly as they arrived. I dont believe Xavi would actually do that, despite what he says to the media from an outside, fan perspective.

    Who Should Laporta Appoint: Xavi or Roberto Martinez?

    https://twitter.com/barcauniversal/status/1441351463163232263?s=21 Koeman is done. Xavi or Roberto Martinez will replace him. They are the only two options the club consider at the moment. - @MatteMoretto

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Pretty much one of 3 clubs who could have handled the finances of the transfer in such a short window. I hate PSG too but if you want to win like he does, he did not have much of another option considering the fact City already plopped a hundo for Grealish. If you absolutely have to leave, going...

    Ronald Koeman

    Unless Laporta blitzes Xavi with an insanely high contract, Xavi will most likely stay in Qatar until the World Cup. Best case scenario is we maybe get him for the 2nd half of next season. Which is why I bring up Pimienta. He ticks all of the boxes for what we want to see right now in this...

    Ronald Koeman

    Jordi Roura managed those matches due to Tito sadly being on his deathbed. All those games showed is that it took a lot more than being an armchair manager to get that squad to the heights we reached then. That was an anomaly of a season with an injury crisis baked on top of it all. Apples and...

    Ronald Koeman

    I cannot tell you how infuriating it is to watch Bayern thrash us at the Camp Nou, playing with a lot of the same tactical principles we used to play with while we meanwhile try and play like Bayern did back in 2009. It truly is baffling and a sign of where we are now. I also disagree a bit...

    Ronald Koeman

    It would be different if the administration actually did something good outside of completely tanking the biggest club in Europe at the time. I honestly couldn?t care less about Tebas and anything he has to say. Mans tried to say Vinicius Jr. could be the same sort of face for La Liga as Messi...
