    Hakim Ziyech

    We give a different meanings to the phrase "generational talent". For me it's not a 10 year cycle but something more important. It's ok though, let's move on. - Alba is easy to replace? Who do you have in mind? - We can replace Busquets? With FDJ right? I already mentioned FDJ like a world...

    Arturo Vidal

    Not the best Barcelona player by a mile. Not even close. Running all day long chasing the ball doesn't make you the best player. He is at most mediocre while having the ball at his feet and offers nothing more than pressure. His pressure is not even good, as he fouls at dangerous areas too often...

    Hakim Ziyech

    Some context is needed in my opinion. People seem to forget that even now, even while they are declining due to age or complacency or whatever reason, our senior players are world class players. They are past their prime and all, but to think that we could just pick any random new talented guy...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    You are criticising Messi for his on the pitch performances because other people say he being wasted? Opinions shouldn't be reactive.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Many seem butthurt about him not throwing Valverde under the bus, and go as far as to criticise his performances and game style it seems.

    Lliga | Round 12: FC Barcelona - Celta Vigo 4-1

    Here is the match quiz: - Could Alena feature even for 10 minutes after being considered a starter at the first match? - Can "Bob the multitool" not play for one game this season? - Will Firpo watch the game from the stands once again, even though he is the only backup for Alba. - Is Todibo...

    Antoine Griezmann

    It's kind of amazing he hasn't been tested as a striker, or as a false nine, but Vidal of all people got that role. To be brutally honest I am not sure about his level anymore. But this happens with every single player we buy under EV.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I don't really care about Leo's off the field choices to be honest. It would have been great if he and the team would advocate against Valverde at the end of last season, but it is simply not his style. I haven't seen any other former Barca legend (captain material or not) saying anything not...

    Ernesto Valverde

    That would be too much to bear. Our 1 billion $$$$ squad with the best player in the world included, playing in the Europa League. And probably loosing there too.

    Champions League

    BVB delivering. Can't see them stopping at 3 goals at this rate

    Champions League

    BVB have demolished them this half. They'll probably win.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Exactly the same thing Messi tries in situations like this (he did try this game actually).

    Junior Firpo

    Good game!

    This man's luck never runs out?

    Ousmane Dembélé

    You are putting words in my mouth though. I never said he was good. But he was not bad either. Better than Griezmann by a mile too. Whoever believes that Dembele is Messi's successor is deluded and will be let down. Don't twist my words in favour of the "Neymar campaign".

    Who should be our new manager?

    Can I change my vote to "absolutely any random bloke on the street" as Tackle suggested in another thread.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Was much better than Griezmann and created 3 really good chances. Was dangerous as always going forward. He was better than fati too. Not sure this is the best performance for someone to pick on Dembele.

    Arthur

    We have all mighty assist and goal machine Rakitic. Don't need Arthur for that stuff.

    Arthur

    Even Arthur wouldn't help today, as EV would probably put him alongside Messi far up the field. By not playing through the middle we can't take advantage of our two great on the ball midfielders.
