    Lliga | Round 13: Leganes - FC Barcelona 1-2

    Do we use our reserves for this one? I think the internationals need a rest but maybe getting back in rhythm before some very tough matches is more important.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    You cut the post in half and missed the point. Time context is clearly referenced, if one understands English good enough. To simplify the point, the bottomline is this: people will always find something to complain about, even when dealing with the best player in history. That is entitlement...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    EV has a strange way of showing he rates players. I don't know anything about Araujo though. He could be great or a flop. We will never know with EV. If that's the way he treats his "rated" players, one can imagine the treatment other guys get from him.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Argentina fans have been bashing Messi for not trying hard enough for the national team. Now, Barca fans claim that he is trying harder for the national team than for Barca. Bottom line, you can be the best in the world and still someone entitled will find something to complain about.

    Ivan Rakitić

    No amount of words per second will make rakitic of last year better than Arthur of this year. How anyone could say that our players are better, the midfield is worse, but the manager is not at fault is amazing. I have already answered this though, on the Arthur thread.

    Ivan Rakitić

    What a disaster. Alena and Puig playing must be avoided at all costs. Let's play Vidal and busquets some more.

    Spanish Super Cup

    If so, let's make sure to play Rakitic, Busquets, Vidal and Sergi Roberto. All star players according to Valverde.

    Spanish Super Cup

    Just play the B team. No problem if we lost playing with our reserves, our main rivals may not see it that way, go all for it and get tired in the process. Win Win!

    Antoine Griezmann

    To be fair, he was tested as a RW and as a CF last match. Griezmann is not the most technically gifted player. He has other attributes at which he is good and seems to thrive under an organized system. Whatever position EV will play him, he will not be good enough without that system.

    Ernesto Valverde

    Why would this provide perspective to anything? Perspective is the thing you don't have, when for example, certain people call Valverde a "Terrorist" and you take it literally.

    Arthur

    Reactive opinions are not to be taken seriously in my opinion. You either like, love hate or dislike someone. Maybe even something in between. Perhaps you can change your mind about someone when presented with a new perspective or evidence. But if your only reasoning for 'hatred' or 'love' or...

    Arthur

    There is no need to join a cult in order to recognise some of our issues. If joining a cult is very important to someone, then he can join the "Valverde is a league master and a tactical genius who is let down by his players" cult.

    Should Barca trade Griezmann for Neymar

    This is pretty straightforward. Griezmann is not performing to his full potential and doesn't really have a role in this team, no matter how he has been used. The senior players really advocated for Neymar's return and he really wanted to come back, but he is 28 years old and constantly...

    Neymar Jr.

    We'll have to disagree on this one. Neymar shares a great deal of the blame for his decision as he is a grown man. He also left us with no time to replace him and he has sued the club for money. Why would we defend him? He didn't treat the club right either. And all these stuff, in my opinion...

    Moussa Wague

    Not a chance for him. EV will find a way to not play him somehow.

    Neymar Jr.

    Our players even pleaded him to stay here. He wanted to be the star man and didn't want to be one of the stars. That is on him, don't try to make it our fault. There is plenty of blame to be put on our board but this one is not on them.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKdhUjAHEuI This looks like a good performance to me by most player's standards. The hate is too much sometimes.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    It's ok for him to get chances in games like this, but he shouldn't be considered our saviour and be prefered to Debmele in important games. If he gets so many chances, why can't Puig get any though?

    Philippe Coutinho

    The weird thing is that Coutinho could work better as an AM with DFJ and Arthur behind him than Griezmann will ever work as a left winger. I am making that assumption considering his skillset, but in reality he hasn't been performing in a really high level for a long time now. I am not sure he...

    Antoine Griezmann

    A sliver of hope remains for him I believe. Not to perform insanely better or click with the other guys, but to produce a world class moment in an important game. That's all I am hoping for right now from him. This team relies on individual moments instead of teamplay anyway, so there is that.
