    Jadon Sancho

    He always does want to keep every one of his players, then they end up flopping. Never lets go of the good ones unless they force him to

    Frenkie de Jong

    Running straight at them maybe because Frenkie is a bit weak and twitchy but they wouldnt need to run at Kroos they would just pass or dribble around him because he is slow as a snail. Agree that Frenkie could be stronger in the tackle tho and more of a defensive presence.

    Frenkie de Jong

    I agree he isnt as proactive as he could be defensively and seen some clips of goals where he fails to pick up runners, but in general if we're talking positional intelligence I don't believe he is an issue. Defense would probably be his biggest weakness but mainly because he is that good...

    Frenkie de Jong

    The problem is likes of Gavi and Romeu are far far worse positionally yet Frenkie is identified as the main issue holding the midfield play back. Just sounds like a lack of knowledge/agenda from the guy posting it.

    Frenkie de Jong

    In regards to the point made, its just utterly untrue, there are plenty and have been plenty of top teams who allow their midfielders freedom to move, even City and Arsenal are doing this, City have Rodri and Kovacic operating in both halves and moving up and down the pitch whilst Arsenal have...

    Frenkie de Jong

    The guy is just a moron. He was one of the ones preaching about how terrible Koeman's football idea is and how Xavi will bring beautiful football back to Barca, and is now defending his 'pragmatism' and saying 'it doesnt matter how you play as long as you win, you have to be pragmatic'. They...

    Frenkie de Jong

    In a way Puig moving to MLS was a blessing for these guys because they can keep up the delusion/myth that he can be good at a higher level.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Frenkie is one of the most progressive midfielders in the world.

    The Negreira case

    No, that's totally incorrect. As far as I recall Carlos Megia Davila was retired when Madrid employed him and held no role in refereeing in Spain, so there is no conflict of interest or possible influence. Negreira was the vice president of the CTA at the time. I.e, he very possibly had direct...

    The Negreira case

    The judgement made by the police apparently goes the entire way to say that our payments resulted in decisions going our way according to EL MUNDO. The judgement states that the reports the 8m allegedly correspond to don't exist and to this day no credible reason has been proposed by Barcelona...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Nonsense comparison.

    Xavi Hernández

    Bc it used to work. The first pattern of play Xavi taught was work it wide, pass into the box, it worked for a few months, then teams wisened up, yet we are still trying that exact same thing every time.

    Xavi Hernández

    This kind of style he's playing is on a short leash if it doesn't win trophies. Club will likely sack him if LL or CL isnt win.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    He was bad and scored a pen. It's the Ronaldo at United arguments again. Well done to him for scoring the winning penalty but feel club could do better with another striker and our attack wouldn't look so static.

    Xavi Hernández

    Its just ironic, we keep racking up the points, despite being pushed so hard every game by shitters. This league isnt THAT bad. I think it's fair to say Xavi has found a good cheese for LaLiga. The voodoo doesn't transfer to Europe sadly.

    La Liga Round 4: Osasuna - Barca 1-2

    Its a justifiable pen, but you know people here would be crying about corruption if that went Madrids way.

    La Liga Round 4: Osasuna - Barca 1-2

    Thats not correct about Pedri. Vast majority of games lost or drawn have been with him out the team its a statistical fact.

    La Liga Round 4: Osasuna - Barca 1-2

    Ter Stegen has a great argument for being best keeper in the world since Xavi arrived. Raphinha probably doesn't make top15 or 20 wingers in the world. Saying he is more important is absolutely wild.

    La Liga Round 4: Osasuna - Barca 1-2

    Ter Stegen no 😭😭😭 he has kept out so many equalising or winning goals and been best keeper in the league since Xavi arrived. Not only has he been the best shot stopper probably in Europe he is also one of the best distributors itw. Raphinha doesn't even make it close to a list of best wingers...

    La Liga Round 4: Osasuna - Barca 1-2

    No he isnt. Araujo - FDJ - Pedri - MATS are so much more important and not even close. Christensen, Kounde and Balde I'd also have over him.
