    Where does Barca finish next season?

    First game line up will say it all though. If we see one of Bob and/or Pique in the starting 11, issa wrap yall. Thursday night football here we come!

    Where does Barca finish next season?

    Pretty big conditional there. I think our best two players to actually put hopes on are Fati and Pedri collectively. Glad Depay can ease some of the pressure on Fati but I am fairly skeptical about Depay providing consistent output against any team that does not press us. Still worried about...

    Where does Barca finish next season?

    Super pessimistic guys, really hope I am wrong but I do not think we will be in the CL next season. Just go down the top 10 from last year and please tell me the teams we could genuinely expect to sweep 6 points from, in both home and away fixtures. Wont make any CL predictions until I see the...

    Joan Laporta

    When it comes to Chelsea, yeah they might not have won anything during their transfer ban but crucially, that is when Lampard took over and laid down a lot of the foundations that led to Tuchel being able to take this team to new heights so quickly. When looking at the big picture and...

    Philippe Coutinho

    No. Money. How can you build a project when you are reporting 400+ mil losses? How can you build a project when our biggest sporting asset now is a clown who does fortnite celebrations? Just accept the reality that we are not going to relevant or competitive for a long time now. Until Fati and...

    Philippe Coutinho

    If he played anywhere close to Messi during his time here, I would get this but it did not happen. Just because they both like to cut into middle and play between the lines does not mean he was stifled by Messi. I have been over this waste since Anfield. Had his chance to prove himself then and...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Said this a few pages back. The numbers cannot look good for La Liga and I am sure the execs at ESPN are going ballistic over this rn.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I literally moved to Malaga from the US last summer and have been stuck here due to the pandemic and them not letting fans in. I very much am personally gutted by this. Literally just watched a dream of mine die in like two hours via Twitter. Whata time.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Less than 1% but should La Liga and Tebas buckle at the end of the day? I am sure they are crunching the numbers right now and they are not looking pretty, especially considering the ESPN deal they just made.

    Will you continue to support FC Barcelona after Messi's departure?

    You say that but have you looked at some of the responses on the last couple pages?! :lol: The only players we have in the squad that come anywhere remotely close of being worthy of carrying the mantle now is Ansu and maybe Demir, that is it. It all starts and ends with Bartomeu when you boil...

    Will you continue to support FC Barcelona after Messi's departure?

    If you think we are headed to anywhere but the Europa league without Messi, you are fucking deluded. We wont win La Liga for at least the next 2-3 years and we wont compete for Europe for at least another 5 years. No top talent is going to come to us now, we will lose our biggest source of...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    If you supported Bartomeu or Rosell at any time over the last 8 years, go fuck yourself because it is fans like you that have dragged us into the mud. Incredibly sad. We are well and truly finished.

    Xavi Hernández

    There is some truth however to the idea that Pep probably over-relies on creative players finding pockets of space and does not balance it enough with players who can get on the end of what they create and translate it into goals. He just did not use Gabriel Jesus, who despite his flaws, was a...

    Ronald Koeman

    Excellent call. From what I saw in the friendly yesterday, it is the 4231 off the ball that shifts into a single-pivot offensively. Normal back four with Dest at LB, a Nico-Frenkie double with Gavi in the 8/10 hybrid role. All things considered, I think Nico absolutely needs to be in the...

    6 - Gavi

    Yeah it is more of a mentality thing. From a technical standpoint, its a toincoss between the two. Still behind Pedri tbf, but not far by any means and again, it is just down to confidence/match fitness. Especially with Puig, I give him the benefit of the doubt a lot because I see why he plays...

    6 - Gavi

    In terms of attempting a final pass, Puig sees it and plays it perfectly but at times, his execution is a bit off. Ball is over/under hit, angle a little off, etc. In just like the little bit I caught of that first half, Gavi tried a few of those final passes and completed them. Its nit-picky...

    6 - Gavi

    Yup, I see what the hype is about now :lol: Poor Puig, his days are numbered now. Gavi is basically him but with actual end product, which has always been the biggest flaw in the game of Puig. This kid is mad exciting though. Already connecting with Demir as well, who equally looks class as...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Yeah, we got problems. Not sure why people arent more concerned atm. We clearly are not going to get rid of Coutinho this year, if we play him at all, we have to pay out to Liverpool while we will probs have to get trade ***** by Atleti if we want to offload Grizzy. We have 15 days to figure...

    Neymar Jr.

    With Ronnie, its tough because I cannot deny he had a special generation around him. Plus he had a much shorter prime compared to Neymar. First off to talk about contributions for the Selecao, Ronnie’s generation really took hold shortly after 94. Cafu and Ronaldo were in the squad but Ronaldo...
