    Negative Thinking Cules

    I don't think the debate is about replicating. It's impossible. The debate is if THAT team would work. And most probably it would smash everyone today. Except if you feel the level is elevated nowadays.

    Here is some prescribed depression for you all:

    Philippe Coutinho

    I can't, for the life of me, put Dembele on any line up. I can't stand his stupidity. But this way at least we might regain control of matches, and be able to play from the back. We do have 2 attack minded fullbacks to cover for wing play.

    8 - Pedri

    Unfortunately this is true, but at least we are kind of better in close spaces than making runs for long balls. In that sense, we should try to user our better qualities (passing) to a better extent. I mean, why the hell do we do all this rondos if we can't use them at all.

    8 - Pedri

    Too much distance between the lines and between the players in the lines. We need to be more compact.

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    Exactly my thoughts on this one. Only ones with an engine and drive. Sergi might not be up there on technical level, but is always consistent.

    4 - Ronald Araújo

    :araujo: He actually scored a legitimate goal and saved one. Could have won us the game single handedly.. but was dropped for Garcia and Pique..

    Ronald Koeman

    We need to drop busquets from the starting 11. No way around it. I love the dude, but he can't perform at the required level. If we want to change the dynamic we need a machine at lone DM or a double pivot.

    8 - Pedri

    Both Pedri and Griezmann suffered from their positioning. It was like Koeman put them out of the game with those instructions. Our defense-mids couldn't get the ball anywhere near them. It's no coincidence Messi dropped deep in such games many times. If we want to beat the press,we need to...

    Philippe Coutinho

    We are out of options really if he doesn't rise up to the task. #HOPE

    La Liga | Round 2: Athletic Bilbao - FC Barcelona

    Griezmann was our right winger on paper but we played with the classic overlapping fullback in Dest.... I can't understand what Griezmann's position was supposed to be, and I think he didn't either. If our supposedly top class players (a.k.a super expensive) don't get their shit together and...

    8 - Pedri

    Since our mids and not running machines, but are exceptional close range, fast passers, Koeman should focus more on triangles and patterns to break out of defense. But he is not on that level.

    8 - Pedri

    He looked weak last game. Didn't present to get the ball. Didn't play any forward passes. No dribbles. No shots. No one twos. Sorry but he did absolutely nothing. Perhaps he is too young to judge, but he has become a starter at Barca so we kind of have to. P.s.: please don't compare him to...

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    Yeah man. Forget the fact that we massively better players until they got older.

    Martin Braithwaite

    Not sure what to say about Braith.. The man was never a Barca level player. But now Barca is a Braith level team.

    Where does Barca finish next season?

    It's good news there are not many medium-strong teams in the league, or I would vote for 6-7...

    Antoine Griezmann

    We had no alternatives so it's understandable he played all game, but fuck me sideways he did absolutely nothing of value..
