    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    so all you're left with is the old core theory and the slow pace. fair enough i guess. the players mentioned are still raw and we don't know their potential yet. all seem average to me, bar pedri who is special. otherwise time will tell. for me, looking at what happened, i would have been fine...

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    so other RB would have played anyway. don't understand the whole old legs theory in this case. semedo was getting games. again, don't see mingueza as an upgrade over lenglet. just playing a player doesn't make him better than the one he's replacing. even though lenglet was in terrible form. and...

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    dest or other RB would have been bought. araujo and mingueza are playing because of poor squad planing. if umititi, pique and lenglet were fit, the two youngsters would have played copa games. migueza is terrible anyway. pedri is debatable. maybe he would have played less, but considering his...

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    experience for fati and pedri would have come more naturally, considering they are very young. otherwise what are those youngsters that wouldn't have got minutes? we would have scored more/conceded less most probably - but that's speculation, i admit. we are playing more enthusiastically now...

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    what changes are we talking about? swtichng to the bloody awful 4231? fati started getting minutes with valverde. pedri would have been rotated anyway. getting a RB was on the cards. playing inexperienced kids at CB happened because of injuries. otherwise can't see anything that makes me...

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    if we wouldn't have bought braithwaite and trincao, money wouldn't have been and issue. suarez would have been gone in summer 2021 anyway. also, sacking valverde, setien and getting koemann lost us a couple of millions.

    Martin Braithwaite

    last time i've checked nothing=nothing. so don't know who's better between the two. otherwise, yeah coutinho has that price tag over his head. anyway, strictly speaking about braithwaite, i would have preferred someone like willian jose over him. even choupo moting would have been better.

    Memphis Depay

    we should stay well clear of this joker. season is lost anyway, so what's the point in buying a 'poor man's neymar'?

    Martin Braithwaite

    so you get a donkey, slap the no 9 on the back of his barca shirt, start him because no other option available = praise is in order for doing absolutely nothing.

    Ernesto Valverde: An Analysis of his tenure

    since we didn't fire him after liverpool, we might as well have kept him. all the trasnfers of managers and players that we've done after valverde was sacked have been shit. we could have kept him, rakitic and suarez for one more year, until the new board came in. surely we wouldn't have been...

    Martin Braithwaite

    don't understand why people try to find positives in this guy's performances. he's below average. barcelona ain't running a popularity contest. he can be a nice bloke somewhere else.

    La Liga 2020/21

    It's not so much of them being underrated, but the telepathic understanding of MSN was something to behold. Unmatched by any attacking trio that I've seen play. That's why MSN was the best. Henry could have been in his prime and have scored even more, but as a unit him, Eto'o and Messi where not...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    'Folk pointed out' as in either saying that we play much better without him or that we barely scraped through in the home games with him in the team. Most recent bullshit(which actually started this argument) was thrown by BBZ. So as much as you like to spin it around, the haters still found...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Nope, you and the other retards thought of it as achievements. I just pointed out that only the return games get mentioned, even though we qualified before that, with Messi as starter. So we won the first three games, with Messi, and won two more without him - what's to discuss here?! But no...

    La Liga 2020/21

    Wolfe acting all worried for Madrid's chances when refs are there to bail them out no matter what. Liga is over and I'd wager Madrid wins at least three back to back. So might as well close the topic for the next years.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    Nah imbecile, I was referring to the fact those wins were achieved with him being starter. Not that he alone got us qualified. Played worse is subjective and can have many facets. Like we missing chances that could turn a game more easily in our favour. Just as that deflected shot or Morata's...

    Lionel Messi - v7

    I like it that he casually left out the 3 matches in the CL that Leo played in and got us qualified. So he's left with two dead rubber CL games and a half that ended 1-1 against naive Betis. We definitely lost/drawed with him on the field this season, but so did the other players that started...

    Still a better human being than you, brah :lol: Yeah, it's no coincidence you are stupid enough to fall for the bullshit BBZ is churning out.

    Lionel Messi - v7

    nah, brah. it's the conspiracy theories that count on here. messi says something, but in the end its guys like serghei and JamDav1982 who know the REAL truth. the fuckers must have hanged out with suarez at them BBQs.
