    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Yo! I’m not saying I’m fully convinced by his ability to really do this, especially in the CL. I want us to play more of our football currently as well especially since we have better players for it. For me, the problem isn’t the starting XI too much, it’s more finding the right rotation players...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    I'm not here to get into a pissing match over Valverde. He is a nuanced man and I have nuanced opinions on him that I have outlined in the past. To summarize, he is a utilitarian and that isn't something that will mesh well with the idealists here. We are a romantic club but if we ever really...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    Best GK in the world. MOTM for me today. He won us those points today, no one else.

    Arthur

    In terms of comparing him to Xavi, take a look at Xavi's debut season with the first team then judge Arthur. Besides, Xavi was so talented even being like 70% of the player he is is pretty much world class. Point is it's silly to try and judge Arthur at his level and even should he not turn into...

    FC Barcelona’s Best Business of the Summer?

    This poll will be open all season. Probably a bit early. Overall though, I’d say Eric Abidal was the signing of the season. I think his perspective alone resulted in a lot of the good business we did.

    Pep Guardiola

    +1 Tragic and sad, RIP to Tito but before his diagnosis, I was never convinced and he started some bad trends with us. His season was the real beginning of Messidependencia, he tried doing Pep’s offensive movements and overloads without his pressure off the ball and it left tons of time and...

    Pep Guardiola

    First off, people on here have every right to idolize Pep. He’s not perfect; his demands can wear down some players and it’s why he talks so much about mentality if you listen to him. Yaya, Eto’o, Ibrah, Deco, Ronaldinho, they were outstanding individuals but it’s all about the team. People...

    Ivan Rakitić

    A bare minimum of 100 for me, especially after his WC. And absolutely no swaps for Rabiot... I’m not the biggest fan of him here but he’s easily one of the best CMs in Europe and if we were to sell him, we should be justly compensated for him. It’s always good to have depth tho, he has certain...

    Ivan Rakitić

    I’m just really tired of watching homie give up the ball in the final third. I’m not doubting his quality and the grit he brings us but at times, I pull my hair out watching him pass for us. If his final ball was better, I’d want him to retire here but too many times throughout multiple seasons...

    Who should be the next Barca #9?

    Tots agree we need a big volume, no frills, put the ball in the net striker. That’s why I get frustrated with Luis sometimes; he tries flashy goals instead of just making a simple shot. Against Alvares, it’s attempts like the lobbed shot in the 1st half and the bicycle attempt in the 2nd half...

    Who should be the next Barca #9?

    Icardi is a great striker but I’ve always wondered if he it would work with him here. Not doubting his poaching ability but can he link up the way we need him to, be able to play incisive passes as well as do the work in terms of making runs in behind and between the channels? I’m having a hard...

    Arthur

    For all you FIFA players out there: what do you think is rating will be in 19? I'd say objectively, 82 to 83. Just curious lol.

    Would you sell Dembele if we could get the money back?

    With how in depth our style is and how long it can take to adapt, I don’t really judge new signings until a year and a half to two years. He’s still got tremendous upside and should be given a chance to have a full and hopefully injury free season.

    Future of Barça's Midfield

    So I have been doing a lot of thinking regarding the state of our midfield and the depth we currently have coming through the ranks. All and all, I am going back and forth on whether or not we really need another MF signing. So hear me out on some of this... Rewind to 2012. At that point in...

    Mavericky Puig

    I thought he was fantastic tonight. Very excited to see his progression because he was a stand out in the 2nd half. Constantly making things happen, excellent positioning and inch perfect passing. The future looks bright.

    Arthur

    Anyone still not convinced? Take away that SCREAMER and homie is still bossing it, ALREADY. Thoroughly impressed. This is a great start from him.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Against Roma, we had a very palpable lack of fight and heart in that match. I do think that Real just take the CL more seriously than we do at times.

    Thiago Translantara

    His wages aren’t the issue. Yeah, it’s annoying he renewed but that’s why his pricing is reasonable from Bayern, though we could probably go 55ish plus variables. People complain about paying this for Thiago but we payed a 35 for Cesc back in a much tamer market. So I see a lot of utility with...
