    Would you bring Thiago back home if possible?

    I mean, y'all should know by now I've been pretty much begging for this since Pep left Bayern. Personally, I would include Raki for a swap deal and honestly just see if they'd take that straight up. Both players suit the other club's style so much more while they both have experience in the...

    Which was the most painful Barça loss for you during 17/18 season?

    Roma by far for this season. Overall: 1. Inter’s bullshit. So glad we turned the sprinklers on when Mou ran out on the field, fucking twat. Anyone every think about how different Bojan’s career could have been had they counted the legit goal he scored to send us through? Between that and the...

    Who should be Barca manager next season?

    I love Sarri's football but he has not La Liga experience whatsoever. That lack of experience would be problematic for the league campaign. The next real coach I want for us is Xavi. He won't be ready by this summer but in maybe a season or two, he will be ready. So someone like Unzue wouldn't...

    CL Quarter Finals: Roma - Barca (4-4 agg.)

    Oh, I was very concerned by the Sevilla game as well, I just thought at the time that we struggled like that because Busquets was out. We will never find a sub for Messi but we desperately need someone who can play a single pivot like Busi. Not saying we can find someone at his level, but just...

    CL Quarter Finals: Roma - Barca (4-4 agg.)

    From Valverde to Iniesta, the inability of our team to make any sort of adjustment or reaction to what was going on on the pitch last night is what I am still so upset about. Even after the first goal, Real immediately started playing better. Granted, Juve were the better team still, but they at...

    CL Quarter Finals: Roma - Barca (4-4 agg.)

    Watch Jordi Alba on those first two goals, his attitude says it all. Valverde has usually been good with substitutes but he did nothing all second half when the game was clearly tilted in their favor and he showed absolutely no guts. He seemed overwhelmed by the occasion, first time all season I...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    I’m just not sure what you guys are seeing here that you don’t like, considering what he has to work with. As far as complaining about the formation, tonight it was only a 4-4-2 off the ball, elsewise it was the false 9. Dembele showed a lot for me. Held his position well, gave us width...

    Which team would you like to face in the Quarterfinals?

    I want Real. Obviously a Roma or Sevilla draw would be nice but I really just wanna knock out Real now before they grow in confidence in this tournament. They are still pretty vulnerable and I think with Dembele showing form, they won't have an answer to him. He will shine with all the space...

    How much do the 'invincible'-status count?

    Personally, all I care about regarding the CL is making sure Real don’t win again. If we beat Chelsea, I’d really want to draw them next just to have the chance to knock them out. If we did that, I wouldn’t care if we lost in the semis or final, particularly if we do remain invincible in La...

    CL | 1/8 Finals: FC Barcelona - Chelsea 4-1 agg.

    I don’t expect him to but Dembele should start. Between his trickery to beat a player off a dribble and his increasing productivity around the box, given we had none of that at the Bridge, is alone why he starts. I’m all for the pragmatic approach with a 4-4-2 away from home. At the Camp Nou...

    Should Barca Sign Griezmann this Summer?

    Justin. Fucking. Kluivert.

    Should Barca Sign Griezmann this Summer?

    Thoughts from the forum considering the inevitability of the Griezmann deal.

    Who should be our 11th player in big CL games this season

    Paulinho for away matches, Dembele at home. Essentially, 4-4-2 for away matches; 4-3-3 with Messi in the false 9 for home matches.

    Zinedine Zidane

    I think PSG are going to smash them, simply bc their back line won’t be able to hold Mbappe and Ney’s pace. They’d have a better chance if their offense was firing but they look completely toothless up front. Bale seems to be their only hope, and they want to sell him!! Who would have...

    Thiago Translantara

    Also: Thiago=XAVI, Coutinho=Iniesta. Thiago plays as a CAM bc his vision and passing/playmaking ability is that good. Similar to Xavi with the Spanish NT under Del Bosque. His best position is box-to-box, behind the play rather than roaming the final third, despite him being exceptional in the...

    Thiago Translantara

    If we brought him back this summer with Coutinho, we would have the best MF in the world by a wide margin again. Imho, only Kroos can compete with him as far as best controlling/tempo CM in the world and Pep sold Kroos to make room for Thiago. I’d much, much rather us get Thiago than Griezmann...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    It makes sense to play both a double pivot and a 4-3-3. Double for away ties, tiki-taka 4-3-3 at home. Tactically EV is an interesting hybrid of our last three (not counting Tito/Roura) managers: Pep, Tata and Lucho. We have Pep’s pressing and organization, Lucho’s directness and Tata’s shape...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Honestly, this makes no sense for all parties involved outside of Phil for being afraid we lose interest. Should have just gotten this done in the summer. He wouldn’t be cup tied and Liverpool would have probably challenged City more bc they would have had van Dijk from the jump. Just...
