    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Positioning is the area he needs to improve the most for me

    Ernesto Valverde

    That is one way to describe it if you look at every player individually. But the "past your prime" means you aren't at your physical best anymore, and this entitles massive tactical burden on the team. Pique, Alba, Busquets, Rakitic, Messi, Suarez were the core of the team and all were past...

    Sergio Busquets

    tbh, this feels like Xavi instructions. Alba did it against Betis too during their goal, and in many of our games plenty of players does that. Not shifting the blame from Busi, but I think we even have larger systematic problems with this uncalculated pressing

    Daniel Alves

    This are bit underwhelming options btw. Mazraoui is solid, but he is just that. Nothing special and no big potential there at all. Dest has higher ceiling than him but we gave up on his development anyway. Azpi is a stop gap.

    Ernesto Valverde

    It was already past its prime. The only players that were in their prime was Stegen, Umtiti, Coutinho :lol: Oh, and Neymar and Verratti :koeman:

    Xavi Hernández

    Directly is the key word. It will never happen, and it is childish to look for direct replacement. Before Busquets we had Yaya, before Yaya it was Emdilson playing DM and before him Marquez played DM, and before him it was Motta and before him it was Davids. Non of those really resembled each...

    Xavi Hernández

    Pep is one of the goat coaches (or one of them) and for that it will never be fair to be compared with him. It is like comparing new prospects to the absolute legends of the game, like Messi, Pele, Maradona,MJ, Lebron etc. Sure, every now and then one prospect prove he deserved that comparison...

    Frenkie de Jong

    I don't think he will succeed as DM here, but at this point what is the alternative? Busquets is abysmal, and even worse is tird. While FDJ is bad as CM. It is time to experiment with him as DM for few games.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Be healthy please.

    Luuk De Jong

    We have the option to buy him, iirc for free or symbolic fee. Can always agree a 1+1 year with him if he is comfortable here Obviously way too early for this

    Daniel Alves

    Dest should be counted on this season depending on opponents tbh. Giving up on him right now when only half viable option is Alves is terrible idea. Dani is legend, but father time is undefeated, and his position isn't easy to cover his speed

    Luuk De Jong

    Sevilla might found someone to take him next summer afterall. Good game for him, always good to see hardwork pays off.

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    Wasn't bad game tbf, good save in 2nd goal albeit unlucky that him intercepting the pass gifted the ball to Benzema instead of Araujo

    7 - Ferran Torres

    I didn't like what I watched from him, until I watched the rest of the game. For me he was the best RW we had in the game tbh, non of Abde, Dembele done many damages against Mendy if we are being honest, at least Torres escaped from him couple of times with his movement.

    Vinícius Júnior

    What is scary about Vini isn't his current form tbh, he is very good but still can be contained fairly well under right system. What is scary is his progression and development, all signs pointing toward him becoming a ballon dor winner one day.

    Sergio Busquets

    Great game, Other than he when had to defend or have the ball in his legs, just brilliant
  17. khaled_a_d

    Xavi Hernández

    He mastered the cross and inshallah tactics tbh. Koeman and Zidane are proud of him. :koeman:
  18. khaled_a_d

    Abde Ezzalzouli

    True, but that exposes the fact that he is almost useless when he can't dribble past his man. Need a lot of work tbh.

    Better individually? Maybe Better collectively? No

    Spanish Supercup semis: Barca - Real 2-3

    At football and being a fullback. Don't know in what world freakin Mingueza is better than Dest, the kid should have been playing in 3rd division this season
