    Frenkie de Jong

    I will some up the long post: Valverde is not good enough and out of his depth, but there are managers out there who could do worse. So there is risk involved in any new manager. It is hard to make big changes when the team is not in shambles. Always easier to start over when you have...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    A rational and pragmatic statement by the GOAT! What is he supposed to say? "Dembele is already an achieved WC player, helped us achieve all our goals and has nothing to prove"?

    Lliga | Round 4: FC Barcelona - Valencia CF 5-2

    Another match without Messi it seems and this time the others have to step up. Valencia are not at their best and we have a point to make after the CDR final loss. Not conceding a goal is a must, as we haven't had a clean sheet since ages. How would you feel about this lineup...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    My take on all this is that Messi will not throw anyone under the bus, thus his Valverde comments and support. This applies to his teammates too, whom I believe holds more responsible for the CL exit, but will never say a bad word about them. I can't see a power play from his side, as he is 32...

    Cr150

    You come off unsurprisingly biased and aggressive towards all other users. You also fail time and time again to respond to others, as in the Valverde thread, when your arguments have been obliterated. Each to his own opinion I guess, but I wouldn't rate yours, due to your amazing efforts to...

    6 - Carles Alena

    Alena has a Point. There is literally no explanation why he was dropped after the game in Bilbao. Sergi performed way worse. And I am not saying he should be dropped to oblivion either.

    Lliga | Round 4: FC Barcelona - Valencia CF 5-2

    Perhaps this means a 4-2-2. I can't understand how Sergi is supposed to play as a winger..

    Lionel Messi - v7

    This team without him is at most half as interesting. Still looking forward to see him combine with Griezmann FDJ and Arthur!!

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Perez could have some hope to be in front of dembele, which I doubt, but including 16 year old Fati in that report, makes it absolutely ridiculous.

    Ernesto Valverde

    Our defence has never been stellar. Not with Pique, not with Puyol, not with anybody. This team does not have the capacity to play defence minded football. We can't absorb pressure for sustained periods without conceding and we never could, even under Pep. But, that is why he tried to utilize...

    Ivan Rakitić

    With Messi and Suarez in their mid 20s I would like to see that. We can't use them like this at this stage. Also better with no Dembele there. This team will need some overhauling, but we could still use our seniors to their full potential, if they are paced throughout the year and surrounded...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    This again? It's like talking to brick walls sometimes. Please don't read too much in media speculations. No player has that kind of power. At 33 to 34 years old, even more so. The board decides everything. They handle the money and the sporting decisions. The board kept Valverde. Even if all...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    What was proven? Based on what? Media BS again? PS: Did you figure out what an oracle is?

    Lionel Messi - v7

    And I wanted to add this. We are talking about an extremely shy and introverted person. All that little dictator stuff is so out of character. You can't believe that the same guy who we accuse of not being vocal enough as a leader, has an alter ego that is demanding transfers and lineups.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    People can't actually believe this media bs. Please think.. How would they know if Messi was angry? Did he tell them? Why would he tell them? News like that are just clickbait. They have no information whatsoever. Literally bulshit out of their asses.

    Arthur

    Arthur also seemed to look for through balls every time he had an opportunity last game. Something we haven't seen from him last year. Hard to believe, but it seems that was an instruction from Valverde..

    Arthur

    Just wanted to say how much better we looked with Arthur and FDJ both on the field as well as Busquets behind them. FDJ became instantly better playing on the right along with him. Still cannot understand how these two guys are considered similar.

    How good was Xavi in the 2010-2011?

    I would answer the question with this: Considering our midfield since he left, Depressingly good.

    Frenkie de Jong

    I salute that idea too but expect to see them both feature against BVB away :valverde2:

    Ousmane Dembélé

    He needs to step up immensely. At this point he should realise this is his last "safe" year at the club. More so when a 16 year old, takes his place out of necessity and scores.
