    Ousmane Dembélé

    Not just strikers but world class players across the board. It is a weird era right now and I would argue there is a lot less genuine quality across Europe than there was during the OG legends eras. Prime Henry, R9, Romario, Van Basten, Sheva and Beastuta played in a tougher era against better...

    Mavericky Puig

    Anyways, I just came here to mention how everyone said I was “naive” for talking about basing our future around a Puig-de Jong-Pedri midfield in the Rebuild thread a couple of months ago and the minute they play together, they put on 30 mins of the best football we have played in years. The kid...

    Will Messi leave at the end of this season?

    Basically if Laporta wins in March, which I think he will, he will stay. He will only leave for City or Newells but the only way I see Messi seriously considering leaving is if Freixa somehow wins by some miracle. I am sure he and all the other big earners will agree to more wage cuts to help...

    How good was Thierry Henry in his Barcelona's days ?

    :lol: Bro, we lost the last game of the season to Mallorca 3-2. Statements like that make it hard for me to take your criticisms of Henry seriously. Sure, Rijkaard throwing out a mess of a 4-2-4, Deco & Roni partying up until training and a weak defensive line had NOTHING to do with how poor...

    Ronald Koeman

    If we win CdR, he has done enough to earn another season here. This dude deserves some massive credit. I legit turned off the game after Dembele rang that shot from outside the box off the bar at the 89th minute thinking, welp I know how this ends. Needless to say, I woke up to a massive...

    How good was Thierry Henry in his Barcelona's days ?

    Y'all forget Yaya played at CB in that final :lol: - Henry is a legend, plain and simple and I'm not having anyone call him overrated. Considering his debut season we were in absolute shambles and the fact that he had to adjust to our style and Rijkaard playing him in a lot of different...

    Antoine Griezmann

    He played well tonight and I feel for him a bit. Hope he continues working and staying amongst the goals. I criticized him harshly in the past but he is at least trying and fighting to find his form and place here, unlike Coutinho. I really want to highlight his post-match comments though...

    Xavi Hernández

    I think you posted this one too and I really enjoyed this as well: https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/xavi-at-al-sadd-how-well-is-the-preparation-for-barcelona-going-tactical-analysis-tactics Little more in-depth and goes into some of the shortcomings of Al-Sadd, particularly...

    Mavericky Puig

    https://twitter.com/barcacentre/status/1138802868972953602?s=21 I think where most fans of Puig are justified is when they say the sample size is too small. Overall, he has not had a lot of samples to evaluate where he has played more than 20 mins. While there are a couple of cameos where his...

    Next Barca President (2021)

    At this point in the election, I am reluctantly with Laporta. I wanted to see if Font really had the juice or not to pull this off but sadly, it just looks too much like his solution is Xavi and he is rearranging the structure in a messy way to try and shoehorn Xavi into the equation. Just does...

    La Liga | Round 16: FC Barcelona - Eibar 1-1

    A formation does not mean shit if the main player the formation is suited for (Messi) is dropped for a sack of potatoes (Greizmann). Keep in mind folks, it was two players at opposite end of the pitch who sold us tonight. Martin missing the penalty and the horror show by Araujo pretty much cost...

    La Liga | Round 16: FC Barcelona - Eibar 1-1

    Dest certainly was not great but to be fair, he has been beyond solid just about every other game. People need to chill with the “not Barca quality” stuff...

    La Liga | Round 16: FC Barcelona - Eibar 1-1

    I was not sure if this 3412/343 could work without Messi and now we are seeing that it cannot. Tbf, Martin is unlucky not to have a goal but his penalty attempt was a joke. FdJ-Pjanic is doing fine and Firpo surprisingly looks decent. For me, 90% of us looking shit right now is: 1) No Messi...

    La Liga | Round 15: Valladolid - FC Barcelona 0-3

    I get the pessimism but there is a lot here that could work for us away from home, especially if we continued to build off of it. Its his first time using this formation and it could be a lot worse. Remember the mental mess of a 3-5-2 Setien used?

    La Liga | Round 15: Valladolid - FC Barcelona 0-3

    3-4-3 working well. Despite Valladolid being shite, there is a decent balance to this shape. Might be something to consider as an away gameplan from home to concede less.

    La Liga | Round 19: FC Barcelona - Real Sociedad 2-1

    It was certainly fluid and yes, at times Frenkie was deep with Busi but for a majority of the game and the general shape, Busi was sitting between the CBs much more centrally, like you see in a single pivot. Between that and how much both Pedri and de Jong were in the box, it operated much more...
