    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    I really really really really think he should be tried in the position, Alena played in yesterday. It was awesome having someone like Alena who could get it in offensive positions and turn with the ball and transition an incisive pass into an attack. It was one of the only things that let us...

    Ivan Rakitić

    I'm not saying that the DM should never drop down or move away from his default position. Busquets drops down often if the CB's have no options, but he's still anchored much higher up. It's fine to drop down too, if you're a DM that can travel with the ball and bring it up by your self, but...

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

    When a team with those obvious weak spots is legitimately one of the best sides to ever play in the Premier League, you know they have something special. That's what scares me. I still think we're a smarter team on the pitch and of course we have Messi. If those two things get neutralized, we're...

    Arthur

    Immensely talented but I think the way he uses his body is holding him back. Something's up with his balance. It's not a bad thing that he goes down if he gets the foul, but I see him losing his balance too easily at times. Could be a biomechanical issue. He looks sorta composed, but for a short...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    The problem with these kinds of games is that this current team doesn't produce anything organically. It never allows Leo to be just another link in the chain. He can't really relax and play the obvious passes because they don't present themselves. Please indulge me in this analogy for a...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Plays waaaaaay too low as a DM. Once again he was next to the CB's when starting attacks. The point of the DM is to be above the opponent's first line of press in order to transition the play. Otherwise, you might as well just give that ball to the actual CB's. I'm not saying that Busquets is...

    Arturo Vidal

    Play him at Anfield, please, unless we need one more proof that Busquets and Rakitic together is suicide against a team like Liverpool.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    He was clearly in anxiety mode at Old Trafford. Since WC2018, he's been getting more involved when nervous instead of just walking around but you can easily tell that something's off. I actually really hoping that the injury would snap him out of it but it didn't.

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

    I reckon it will be one of the games in which Rakitic can actually make a difference, though. We will get time and space on the ball in the midfield. It's when we're being pressed that he's mostly useless.

    Lliga | Round 30: Villarreal - FC Barcelona 4-4

    Arthur was not horrible what the fuck are some of you talking about. Busquets was bad, but Umtiti by far the worst.

    Lliga | Round 30: Villarreal - FC Barcelona 4-4

    He should go inside and shoot when he's got the chance tho. Haven't seen any of those deadly curlers infamous from youtube videos in a Barca shirt yet.

    Malcom makes a pretty good Pedro.

    He's been fine lol. Put Malcom thru on the first goal too.

    Lliga | Round 30: Villarreal - FC Barcelona 4-4

    Busquets just doesn't have that defensive presence any longer does he?

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Whereas earlier in his career, his form was more black or white, it seems that he's starting to get to know himself better mentally and becoming more adjusted as a result. It used to be, that he was either full on, top gear, ready and hungry or really anxious and sluggish or apathetic. The game...

    Luka Jović

    I have a seriously hard time figuring out why we are looking at this guy. I don't get it. He's a fine finisher but a mediocre player overall. None of the x-factor that Suarez has and his link up play is just as bad.

    Ivan Rakitić

    The reason why he doesn't look outright terrible or like he is actively hurting our game is because he only ever wants the ball in situations he can handle. When there are players around him, he just doesn't help out. Therefore, he doesn't get the ball and therefore he doesn't really lose the...

    Ivan Rakitić

    It's not about having a good game or not at this point. When it's not convenient for him, he's not going to help out his teammates. That's it. Last night, it was not convenient for him. He made zero attempt to help bring the ball out from the back and zero attempt to make himself available every...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Has there ever been a player who's done more dirty shit to another than what Ramos has done to Messi over the years? Materazzi and Schevchenko comes to mind, but I don't even think that one is as bad.
