    Mavericky Puig

    I don't mind giving him another year in the b team. Top league tempo isn't really an issue with him. What he needs to develop is the sophistication of his game. He moves around with speed and agility but not a whole lot of coolness. He needs that Iniesta factor of reading difficult situations...

    Frenkie de Jong

    I wrote a long post a while back about the reflexive reluctance towards brave short passes. Basically, my thesis was that our midfield was entering a self-sustaining collapse of creative output because we were cultivating a culture of discouraging playing brave short passes. Basically, this is...

    Antoine Griezmann

    Where will he play? He won't do any better than Coutinho on the LW. He'll be fantastic in Suarez' spot, though.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    I remember writing a post on the Coutinho thread after his first few games for us, being very positive: Not to be a braggy douchebag, but I don't think I've ever been so right in my life. When he first started here, he was playing on the forefoot, always taking reponsibility and initiative...

    Arthur

    The point of playing Arthur instead of Rakitic was not to have a better chance of scoring a goal. With Arthur, we make fewer mistakes. We resist their pressure better and keep possession. We have a much better opportunity of playing out from the back instead of kicking it long towards duels that...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Would rather have given Iniesta one more season than this guy. At least Andres could get out of pressure and get things going forward.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Defenders desperate for midfielders to help them out under pressure, Rakitic jogging around in the center. Busquets or Vidal desperate for a teammate to help them out, Rakitic jogging around. We try to launch a counter attack, Rakitic jogging up the field. Liverpool launch a counter attack...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Honestly, I find myself caring somewhat about this. We didn't deserve to be in that CL final. Could chose to be angry at the team or Valverde, but I've been that all season. Now, I'm just relieved that it finally looks like changes could happen. I don't think we deserve any trophies as a team...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    I think this season is taking a serious toll on him. His motivation no longer comes from within the game. He has to pressure himself more, mentally and physically. Let's hope that others will begin taking some load of his shoulders starting next season.

    Ivan Rakitić

    There's this story about a father and his three sons. He wants one of them to take over his company. To determine which one is best suited to manage his hard earned finances, he gives them each a million dollars of his riches and asks them to come back in a year to present what return on the...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Regarding the Liverpool game. If Vidal was good, which he was, and if Busi was good, which he was, and if Rakitic was also good, then please tell me how the fuck our midfield was so shy? Are you seriously telling me that Milner, Fabinho and Henderson are simply better footballers than us...

    Ivan Rakitić

    People sometimes act like he's the only midfielder in the world who works defensively. Milner probably works twice as hard and produced more offensively today than Rakitic, too.

    Arturo Vidal

    Glad it ended with a big hug from Messi after that telling off
