    Lionel Messi - v7

    It's like that and the Board did a massive fuck up for not letting him go. He wanted out, he knew he can't sustain the level and we would be without Massive wages. All in all, I like the fact that we still have Messi but sporting wise it's not much of a benefit. He will have some flashes of...

    2020/21 squad

    I don't see the 4-2-3-1 as the solution to every game. If we need to revert to 4-3-3 we could see some of those midfielders get more minutes. In my view: - Success will be to compete for La Liga till the end (VAR will not help us in that regard and that is already evident) and reach final 8 in...

    Antoine Griezmann

    Lets give excuses to Griezmann that fails to score a sitter, again, and produces absolutely nothing with the ball on his feet, again, no matter the coach, the position, the system and the players he is surrounded by. We need to blame someone else for this too, and of course it has to be the...

    La Liga | Round 5: FC Barcelona - Sevilla 1-1

    To be fair to Koeman, we looked disconnected after the subs, so that is the reason he started with that 11. But, one of those 11, perhaps Busi, could be on the bench. Too early to tell, let's wait.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Who on their right mind would say that Messi hasn't declined at this stage? That's not in question. The question is can this team win a game without Messi bailing us out (Celta last example)?

    La Liga | Round 5: FC Barcelona - Sevilla 1-1

    That's the kind of game a player of Arthur's profile would be useful. Even Puig. Also, Coutinho should never have come out - he is our creator.

    Ronald Koeman

    Number 9 is not the problem imo. We needed better midfield control and play out from the back. Pedro and trincao upset our balance and FDJ had another bad game in the second half. I don't get why Puig is not tested at all.

    La Liga | Round 5: FC Barcelona - Sevilla 1-1

    Messi as uninvolved as ever, pressing more than ever and this is the outcome.. Please don't blame a 33 guy for this, if you have any sanity. We need more control. Really bad subs from Koeman. Puig would be ideal as would Dembele. We were worse after the subs.. I am out.

    Ronald Koeman

    In my opinion that's a good thing. Players need to have a strong relationship outside the field. It's the Manager's responsibility to handle the dressing room and not be a pushover. Vidal played EV and Setien and they both crumbled to the tiniest of pressure. As did Rakitic. Those are not...

    Ronald Koeman

    Vidal was in a clique? That's kind of exaggerated.

    Ronald Koeman

    Koeman sees griezmann as an asset for his movement and workrate. It's his confidence in front of goal that needs to improve. We have Messi, Coutinho and Fati to try fancier moves, so I guess a direct and simple player is not a bad fit even though he is not for my taste.

    Ronald Koeman

    Team Spirit I guess. It's been gone for too long.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Considering the things he said I don't feel he believed in this team last season. Not after Anfield. Let's hope this game's trend continues.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Don't know what else he is, but he surely is a clutch dude..

    La Liga | Round 4: Celta Vigo - FC Barcelona 0-3

    If we can build our team spirit again (today was a good step) keep the team balanced and play the guys that perform we are good enough. Messi's role should be to make a difference when the team needs him but not carry the team. The other guys need to step up not just look for one man. This was...

    La Liga | Round 4: Celta Vigo - FC Barcelona 0-3

    I think someone else commented on this. We are playing BETTER with 10 men without Griezboy.

    Let him get zero if that means we win every game!
