    Who should be our new manager?

    Voted for Gallardo. Koeman seems a good choice too, but I would prefer to see some fresh blood and some fresh ideas. Anyone except Mourinho would be good for the remainder of the season though.

    CL | Round 4: FC Barcelona - Slavia Prague 0-0

    Me too, as it would boost his price tag if he plays well and we would see what FDJ can do at DM as well. If he doesn't have a good game, we still have enough firepower to win against Slavia at Camp Nou. Dembele, Griezmann and Messi should be starting for this game at the frontline. Alena could...

    Sergi Roberto

    Don't pair him with anyone at all. No need when we have an actual RB and an actual substitute LB. He was supposed to be a midfielder, so play him at midfield if you feel like it. But what on earth is he doing at RB?

    Lliga | Round 11: Levante UD - FC Barcelona 3-1

    That stuff about jerseys that should be wore on the hearts are a bag of bulshit. This hasn't been the case in professional football for a long time now. You are saying with a straight face that this squad, under any manager, would be dominated by the likes of Levante?

    Ernesto Valverde

    Yes, you can't win every time, but you can't play like shit away from home every time too. Can't really see a reason why another manager would be worse right now.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Average players get so much time and space to shoot against us. Other teams cover our attackers' shooting space like crazy while our defenders go too soft. That's why we can't sustain pressure even for a little bit. We can't expect the current squad to never lose control of the game, so we...

    Lliga | Round 11: Levante UD - FC Barcelona 3-1

    Would like to see that lineup, but with Arthur instead of Vidal.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Unfortunately for Raki, he can't replace FDJ, Arthur, Busi or Vidal as a starter at this point, as he brings nothing more than them in their respective positions. If he could agree to have a substitute / rotation role then great, but he doesn't seem ready for that, which is not that weird at...

    Ernesto Valverde

    He was a bit sloppy with easy passes (he also did that in his previous appearances but to a lesser degree). I felt his finish after Messi's pass was good, but really unlucky with the intervention by the defender (that guy played his heart out). Fati also gave his all in the defense when needed...

    We will never know what he can do.

    Philippe Coutinho

    I couldn't really watch Barcelona those first six months Coutinho played. I also haven't followed him with Liverpool. From what I have personally seen, I can't understand the price tag. Not even had of that.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Goat getting in shape after his preseason. Haven't seen anything close to this man's quality.

    Philippe Coutinho

    EV has some merit for Coutinho's performances last year, due to the position he played him, but it certainly isn't all on him. Not by a long shot. Cou seems like a player who would be really good (not wc) in an older kind of football (much slower) as a classic N10. Can't see him doing much...

    Ivan Rakitić

    If he doesn't start today in Arthur's absence, we should consider him sold in January. That said, I wouldn't mind trying FDJ at DM with Rakitic and Alena in front of him. Maybe I will regret saying that. FDJ might get a rest too though, so we could be seeing the fan favourite "Busi - Raki -...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I am talking about Suarez, responding to a previous post. Forgot to quote! Not taking any offence, because I would say the exact same thing if someone talked like this about Messi.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    He wouldn't be underwhelming if he was used as an impact sub. It really is not his fault that he annoys us with his shortcomings. He tries his best and that much is obvious. The problem lies with the coach who is a yes man and succumbs to pressure from the board and the players.
