    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    What I wrote earlier regarding Messi's huge contribution to the team and RM (our main rival) being able to cope better with the absence of Ronaldo. No, I am not. You are not reading what I am writing. I am saying that I expect more from players of Suárez' and Neymar' stature whenever Messi has...

    Luis Enrique

    Why should I credit him for making a few tactical changes (that were obviously necessarily for anyone knowledgeable about football) this late? That's something that I expect from every single FCB manager. This is FC Barcelona. Arguably 1 of the 2 biggest clubs in the world. We fans (especially...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    When was that? I can only recall Suárez doing that away against Almería. In almost every other game Messi is the heart and soul of everything good that happens in the attack. He is most often the architect and builder (finisher). Simple. Make their presence more felt. Where were Neymar and...

    Luis Enrique

    You did not read what I actually wrote did you? That 11-wining game steak was not down to Lucho. He played his role and adopted certain tactics that everyone had called for earlier. My theory is that the winning steak was mostly created due to Messi's phenomenal form, Neymar's great form and...

    Luis Enrique

    It was mostly down to those two. First and foremost Messi. Whenever the team has a bad day it's almost always due to Messi having a bad day as well. Lucho himself claims that there has been no tactical changes since the defeat against Anoeta. The team started to perform better due to our two...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    They are surely able to cope better as a team whenever he is not playing or whenever he has an off-day than the other way around. There can be no doubt about that. It's not down to that. it's down to a player like Suárez stepping up more whenever the team is in trouble. Likewise Neymar. We are...

    Penal Madrid

    Well, congratulations with the second league title of Pérez' era.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Spot on. Whenever Messi has a off-day the whole team is almost guaranteed to suffer immensely. I don't feel that RM are as addicted to Ronaldo. In fact they seem to play better as a team whenever he is not there. Not sure if it is even possible to change this as long as Messi is the heart and...

    Lliga: Barca - Malaga 0-1

    Not surprising when 95% of all their crosses are high crosses and not flat and precise crosses. Their crosses really baffle my mind considering the fact that we don't have a single good header in the attack.

    Daniel Alves

    Of course it is. It would effect almost every player.

    Luis Enrique

    Remember the game against Celta at home? The away game against Málaga? The away game against Getafe? The away game against La Real which was played right after Real Madrid's defeat against Valencia? The poor showings against Real Madrid and PSG away from home? I already wrote that the 11-game...

    Lliga: Barca - Malaga 0-1

    The referee had absolutely nothing to do with the result or performance of the team. In general he did a good job. If anything the linesman was shocking in the second half. Exactly and Lucho has a big responsibility here. It's amusing that the team was not more motivated to win the game and...

    Luis Enrique

    I seriously question whether the team is moving "in the right direction" after a match like this one. That 11-game winning steak does not tell the full story of the real abilities of the team. I always felt that the euphoria surrounding the team had more to do with Messi's exceptional form and...

    Jordi Alba

    Alba is such a dumb footballer. His decision making whenever he has the ball can be shocking very often. When he is as frustrated as today he genuinely appears dislikable. Lucky not to get send off too for those two blatant kicks. Opppostion fans must dislike him and I can't blame them.

    Lliga: Barca - Malaga 0-1

    Shocking display against Málaga yet again. Lucho being tactically clueless as most of the time too. Gracia showed ONCE again how relatively easy it is to get a positive result against the team with the right discipline, work ethic and defensive approach. Málaga did not do anything out of the...

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    :lol: JamDav1982, are you by any chance related to Rosell or other former/current board members of the Rosell/Bartomeu junta?

    Have you changed your mind about Luis Enrique? Still think he should be replaced?

    Most of us, including myself, might have been too quick to dismiss him after the defeat at Anoeta. Likewise those who praise him like the second coming of Pep today are too quick in their judgement. The next month will be crucial. The round of 16 tie against City, the second leg of the Copa del...

    Camp Nou

    The attendances this season have been really disappointing so far. The team deserves much better.

    Verratti or Pogba?

    Both are great players. I don't see the club buying either of those two though. I rather have Óliver Torres or Koke but I don't see Atlético selling either of those two jewels. So it will probably be someone else entirely.

    Lliga: Barca - Malaga 0-1

    It can work the other way too. I would prefer my option though. Anyway Neymar playing from the start or not should not be the decisive factor in whether the team wins or not. Games like that, especially in the current situation, are must wins. We should win all of our 8 remaining league games...
