    6 - Carles Alena

    I never had too high hopes for him, but judging from his last performance I wouldn't want him to be loaned out. I feel he showed he does have a pretty high ceiling and he also clicked very well with FDJ. Puig should go on a loan to get more minutes, but Alena needs to get those minutes here...

    Barca pre-season 2019

    The problem, I feel, is trying to build a team around Messi. We should build a great team without Messi and add him to the equation as the cherry on top.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Arthur is not slow. Not at all. I agree with one thing. Busi shouldn't play. He seems to be the main reason for many problems. More than rakitic I think

    Ivan Rakitić

    Maybe they won't click. I would like to see fdj, Arthur on the right and Alena on the left too. Time will tell. The problem is. Busi - Raki - FDJ is a high probability for Valverde. And it doesn't look promising to me.

    Philippe Coutinho

    We are wasting his time and he is wasting our time. Should leave really. No hard feelings, it seems even Alena can so his job as a midfielder and he should be nowhere near the left flank. Doesn't seem to fit anywhere.

    Ernesto Valverde

    Funny thing is.. we don't seem to need busquets, rakitic and couthinio to play well. Those are 3 kind of wasted salaries. Does anyone else feel the Raki-Budi midfield comming next match?

    Barca pre-season 2019

    I so vividly remember Messi playing in the middle or the front right, and combining amazingly in the most fluid way I have ever witnessed. I dont get how he disrupts the flow. Again he was not there in the previous game and there was no flow whatsoever.

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Mixed feelings for him today. Still, very dangerous player that no one would like to face in an open field.

    Barca pre-season 2019

    Suffer from messi's game? With this team and him instead of dembele today, he would have a hatrick and a couple of assists.

    Sergio Busquets

    Outclassed by FDJ. Amazing once but hasn't aged well. Should be a backup.

    Barca pre-season 2019

    They played last match without Messi and were shit. Messi is the epitome of midfield combinations if he has a partners to play with. Sorry to say, you are trying to defend a viewpoint that is wrong.

    Barca pre-season 2019

    Loved the lineup.. even sergi was good. Replace him with Arthur and dembele with Messi and we are in businesses

    Barca pre-season 2019

    Amazing so far. I don't care if we play like this and lose.

    Barca pre-season 2019

    Passing, press resistant midfield made it I guess.

    Barca pre-season 2019

    Very sharp midfield. De Jong is great. And someone had to say it.. Alena was great too. Griezmann feels out if sync with alba and Suarez. He seems out of position generally. Sergi is ok. Semedo very good. Messi missing badly. Do we need this no.9 thought? I am conflicted..

    Ernesto Valverde

    Comic Relief Post Judging by the Valverde pecking order which is clearly in accordance with the salary order, we should expect the following lineup for the next season: -------------Ter Stegen------------- ------------------------------------- --Semedo---Pique-----Umtiti*---Alba--...

    Barca pre-season 2019

    It feels as though the pre-season has been wasted. Mostly because of the Copa America I guess. No meaningful lineups were tested. We didn't get to see FDJ-Arthur (and maybe Coutinho) combination (mini pep-barca style :p) or Vidal - FDJ - Raki (maybe it would work against kamikaze running...

    0 - Own Goal

    He got confused this time and scored on the wrong side. Still our best striker so far!

    Ivan Rakitić

    It's true that he is more eficient as scoring and even assisting than iniesta was. But the influence iniesta had in actualy creating was far greater. (That's what we expected from coutinho as well as his long shots) I would agree with most of these. Personaly i would have Arthur's shooting a...

    Ivan Rakitić

    I would honestly answer 1. At least try it. What we have been served last year is the same recipe, over and over and over again. One thing is sure for me. Rakitic and Busquets cannot start together for any fixture. I would have no problem with FDJ, Arthur and Rakitic starting some games. We...
