    Nelson Semedo

    Thought he did fine.

    Arthur

    He's talented enough, but needs to show more eagerness and enthusiasm to receive the ball. Can't be walking around when you're on for 10 minutes.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    It's a media hype award. Each year they will bend the "criteria" in the way that flatters Cristano the most. Messi basically had to pull off one of the best individual seasons of all time to win it in 2015. Insane stuff week after week. Absolutely immense CL performances. Wondergoal in Copa...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    If he leads by example, that would probably be the worst thing imaginable. His lack of effort is leaving tactical inconsistencies all over the place for others to cover. Imagine if every player did that.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    I have no doubt that he passionately wants to lead us to glory, but he's just not the captain we need. Can Messi really inspire the intensity you need to stay alive in the CL? Can he yell at others for not moving enough when he's the player who runs the least in the tournament? Would love a...

    Luis Suárez

    EV “Luis is fine, he’s only just coming back from his [post World Cup] break, so he’s gradually getting up to speed, but he looks good.” Of course he's not gonna criticise him publicly, but there's no way he's getting benched this season.

    Malcom

    If he's one-dimensional (which I don't think he is), it's not to a fault. We could definitely use someone who just goes for it when the opportunity for him to use his skillset is there. Perfecting simple but effective moves and executing them wholeheartedly on impulse could bring a new dimension...

    Rafinha Alcantara

    He will probably play a bit going into the season, then have a two meh performances in a row with a few important mistakes, then get put in the freezer by Valverde while he thaws up Denis for service. Rinse and repeat.

    Gamper trophy: Barca - Boca 3-0

    Didn't get to watch it. Were there any signs of improvements on our general pace of play, movement and intensity?

    Mavericky Puig

    It's not like we're casually dominating games every week anymore, though. That strategy wouldn't grant him many minutes in a season.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Yeah, I don't think we should underestimate that a substantial portion of our core players, whether lazy, demoralized, too focused on partying or simply just content with their career, may be inclined to favor the current workload and just see how far we can float on talent instead of taking on...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    It's so easy to tell the effect of him having played under someone who demands stepping up and taking responsibility. I hope the kraut-brand menace of Klopp will haunt his dreams for a few seasons longer before the complacency inevitably takes hold of him and drags him into a black hole of mate...

    Luis Suárez

    Not even gonna bother to think about all those shit touches and passes, but WHAT THE FUCK is going on with his presence when we actually need him inside the box. He's never there. NEVER where you need him. It's like he intentionally drifts away from the action whenever a dangerous cross is about...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Off-ball movement is definitely a problem in itself, but it's very much connected to another aspect of our general expression out there, which is that in our short passing game, we play completely without courage (to recapitulate Guardiola's point in that clip from City's dressing room). First...

    Paul Pogba

    because I watch football and follow barca because of personal affection for things that go beyond the purview of the club's sporting capacity. and my therapist is on holidays.

    Paul Pogba

    Lol easy on the straw man. Didn't say it was a terrible crime. Didn't even state that it was an objectively shitty thing to do. I said that I hated it because it erases my personal reasons for loving football. I'm sure a lot of people watching loved it. Fair enough. I called him a douche bag...

    Paul Pogba

    Pogba would indeed be toxic in our dressing room. I hate everything he represents. He's got a much worse mentality than Neymar, who, between all the poker, partying and shite lyrics-posting, at least had his own convoluted credo of dedication and humility. Pogba is a pure internet age...

    Malcom

    Malcom looks like a young Nas

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Can't wait to watch those curlers. Come to think about it, we have a pretty stacked line-up for outside of the box goals. Messi and Coutinho are arguably the two best in the world. Malcom has some screamers in his bag. Arthur and Rakitic can hit it as well.

    Preseason US Tour 2018

    Puig casually traversing the area around the box and putting Semedo through with a beautiful lob. Warms my heart this stuff.
