    Our XI for 2019/20

    I wish we could honestly but with some of the news coming out today, I’m pretty fucking skeptical.

    Who do you want as Barça manager next season?

    Pimenta. Tired of seeing this bland-ass Valverde football, need some SPICE!

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Let’s get back to our principles then. Promote fucking Pimenta. He has our style, he knows the youth coming through the ranks, we badly need a shake-up and he seems to have a strong enough personality and would be demanding enough to cut the fat from our squad and make the hard decisions that...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    What is hurting me the most right now is how we lose. Compare this to Pep's City. They at least showed class, they showed up all 180 and it was an absolute battle. They gave it everything they had. If we had lost like this tonight, I wouldn't be feeling how I'm feeling right now because at...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Let's talk next season: Who's our coach? Who goes? Like I said earlier, give me Pimenta with Xavi as his assistant. Only player on the proverbial chopping block who I'll defend is Vidal. Not sure why he is getting ANY flack for his display tonight. He was fantastic for me, showed desire...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Sure, a goal with how this game went, wasn't going to change much. I think you are missing my point though: Dembele, both in how he has been managed and how his overall time has gone here, is emblematic of why this club is failing. This just isn't who we are and we have to suffer because this...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    That was a huge moment. It gave them hope. It's clearly complacency and a clueless manager when the chips are down, when the game is in the balance. But that, again, stems from the management. No one is holding players accountable, except probably Messi. Him, Vidal and maybe Roberto were the...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    This ALL boils down to Rosell and Bartomeu. We are clearly paying our comeuppances for Neymar. If you really think about it, we lost this tie indirectly because of Neymar, who was ALWAYS the emblem of Rosell, Bartomeu and the loss of our morals as a club, and what we represent. His...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Yeah, I really don’t see why he starts Roberto again when it was clear we needed Semedo’s pace so bad that the sub itself changed the game. Why make the same mistake, twice? I guess since he expects an open match, he wants Roberto’s quality on the ball but still. Risky decision and very...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Just curious: how long do people think he’s got? I mean, he’s just at such a staggering level right now, even if/when he starts actually declining he’ll still be so above pack that he’ll remain elite. I genuinely don’t think it’s outlandish to say he might still be top 3 at the very least when...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    From a general perspective, I think Klopp set them up just about as good as you can. I was really paying attention to their line spacing in the first half and they did as good of a job as you can do in reducing the space between the midfield and defensive lines. Robertson and Matip were their...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Pragmatics. I want a chill 1-0 win where we kill the tie off early. So three wins. I don't want to lose in the CL this season, period.

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    Messi is simply out of this world. Did NOT like Valverde's 2nd half approach. The Semedo sub was excellent but the game was begging for Dembele's pace on the left and he should have came on sooner. We showed our defensive class tonight however, Liverpool only had 2 chances really you'd expect...

    Champions League Semi Final: Liverpool - FC Barcelona 4-3 agg.

    For me, it’s imperative we go to Anfield with a multiple-goal lead. I think they will beat us at Anfield considering our away form. Basically, we need a repeat of Bayern ‘15: multiple goals with a clean sheet for the first leg and lose the 2nd leg by a goal but while grabbing an away goal or...

    CL 1/4 Final: FC Barcelona - Manchester United 4-0 agg.

    Just show em these two and they'll get real quiet. Messi will probably give us some more tonight. Smalling needs to get Boateng'd. Tbh, I'm already thinking about Liverpool. :coffee:

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    For me, our MF of Raki-Busi-Arthur can be too redundant out there. It’s good for certain teams but when we are facing a wall like that, it’s clear either Arthur/Raki should go. Coutinho simply needs to play interior; Dembele and Malcom are too good forwards not to be used there. I think he and...

    Malcom

    Valverde must be a Jay-Z fan. He should be starting any time Dembele isn't now, in my book.
