Voted Xavi. This is a bust season anyway. Will give him time to implement some of his ideas and will give us insight on his abilities to assess at the end of the season. If we see progress with this crop of players, then we continue for a long term rebuild project with him. If we see no progress...
Messi in CL had 2 great passes for clear goal, hit the post and was the most dangerous creator.
Against Lyon, more great passses for goals, hit the post again and some good runs. He was really good first half. Also, Messi is 34 to 35 in a new team and second game was half injured.
I wouldn't...
Same can be said for Puig. Minimal minutes, destroyed mentality by a coach who puts 17 year old bums instead of him etc etc.
There are no good excuses left.
I wish Coutinho would return to his Liverpool form. I really do. I wish we had even one star player performing in this team. But everyone...
Don't think there is anything there. Messi was frustrated to be subbed of. At 34 years aold and not fully fit. If Ronaldo did that, most hating Messi in here would say stuff like "elite determination, winning spirit" etc.. classic confirmation bias. Whatever Messi does, some will love and so...
I hope he doesn't resemble Puig in his positioning because Puig looks like he has no positional sense. He constantly occupies the space of other players, collides with their runs and is either too close or to far away to receive. Also doesn't move well out of defender's Shadow.
Generally really...
Dembele Griezmann, Firpo, Vidal, Paulinho, lukk de Jong, Braithgoat, Turan, Gomez, KPB, Rakitic...
What do these players have in common with Barca DNA?
We just sign flops, no matter their DNA..
That is our trademark!
I would compromise for someone who has ONE attacking plan, instead of cross like there is no tomorrow from minute 1.
Koeman might be considered average but I see lower than average with the tactics on display.
Talk about overreacting. He had no time to do anything and the coach clearly instructed him to play it safe on the winger and not take initiative.
You can criticize everything and everyone but this is just over criticism to combat his fanboys who believe he is the second coming of Xavi.
Replace Alba already. Crossing is not our thing anyway and alba is equally bad at them. Balde looks great on beating the press and his man. Also good at combining and very fast. Sell alba asap.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
