    Lliga | Round 2: FC Barcelona - Real Betis 5-2

    It is up to them to form any kind of connection surely. They, alone, will have to figure out movements and combinations as they go. Improvisation is our only tactic. Can Rafinha play in the right middle? ------FdJ------- Arthur - Rafinha

    Lliga | Round 2: FC Barcelona - Real Betis 5-2

    Messi seems fit for the game, I can't see him not playing this one. He needs to get in match rythm too. I hope no risk is involved though. As for the rest... Can Rafinha play on the left? If so, Rafinha - Griezmann - Messi it is! Our other option is Perez.. I wouldn't mind him starting too. I...

    Ernesto Valverde

    Nobody believes that all our players are generational talents. You have to work with what there is available, and I don't think there are so many generational talents out there to get at this point in time. Still, us Barca fans, have kind of lost the whole context. This squad is very good...

    Ivan Rakitić

    But here we are, considering a plan B, at the same time there is not even a plan A.

    Ivan Rakitić

    But it wouldn't hurt to have the option, would it? I mean, we have a team that can reach the corner flag without any hassle at all. All opponents close down the middle and leave us roaming on the flanks because we never ever cross as there is no point without any tall forwards. But if we...

    Carles Perez

    Honestly, I can't think of a single player that can be 3/4 as good as prime Messi.

    Ernesto Valverde

    Even if he does at some point, it won't be next match. FDJ will surely play. Busquets-FJD-Rakitic is not out of the question I feel.

    Jean-Clair Todibo

    Could this man perhaps be converted to a RB? He seems to be really fast and good with ball too. Would he be worse than Semedo?

    Carles Perez

    Will get his chance next match I suppose. This is the time for him to do something really special. Not that it will make any difference whatsoever for his future here, as Valverde will still be in charge. Don't get me wrong, I am not expecting anything special. Just saying, even if he astonishes...

    Antoine Griezmann

    It feels like we are stuck in a formation (4-3-3) just for the sake of it, without having the players to play it, or a plan to implement any tactics or combinations. We don't even play the 4-3-3 as we used to anyway, we just put the players there and hope for the best (Messi creating, assisting...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    You seem to have a hard time understanding many things. Also an inability to reply to people that respond to you.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Can you highlight the part of my post that says it is his fault that he gets injured all the time? Have you seen anything other than what I described the last 2 years? Please elaborate some more though, not just an insulting one liner.

    Would you trade Dembele for Neymar?

    I would like to remove "Neymar's injury record the last couple of years. (Perhaps a deal breaker)" from my list of cons. Dembele is in reality more injury prone.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    On top of that apart from his amazing pace, he doesn't seem to have the talent too. Only if Rafinha had his pace and wasn't made of glass...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Maybe his full potential is this: Play for a month Make a good run past a couple of players for 1 game. Make a good through ball in another game. Score a goal at some point. Misplace 50% of passes Miscontroll 50% of easy balls Get injured for 2 months. Repeat.
