    Nelson Semedo

    We have undeniable need for athletic ability, but Semedo is far from a Barca quality. He can't attack and defend at same time, he does either but not both. This slashes the main advantage of athletic fullbacks. And even when he is in either mode, he lacks the talent to be elite in either. In...

    Ivan Rakitić

    No one argues otherwise. In most of this games, he was asked to babysit Messi who is in free role while being counted as RW. Every other player that played that role was pure horse shit. The list includes Vidal/Roberto/FDJ. Anyone in the future who will be asked to do same role will be shit...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Raki was one of the easiest scapegoat of every failure. Him not [laying in the worst defeat we had in decades proves he isn't the problem. Needless to say, it doesn't prove he is the solution either.

    Gerard Piqué

    33 isn't the age of retirement, and he can't leave if the board tell him to honour his contract. What he is doing is telling the board that if they want him out, he won't be against it, like Suarez or and Raki for example (probably Busquets & Alba too)

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    There is always a huge gap in performance between his CL and league.

    Sergio Busquets

    Busquets helped to cover Xavi ass during his last years (since end of 2011 season) not the other way around. But he finished way too young, by 2017 he was done and dusted. He lost a step and people never realized that since he was never athletic in 1st place but it made him always lagging, his...

    Gerard Piqué

    And what happens after he leaves? We have 2 first team CB: Pique & Lenglet, Umtiti has been done for some time now. 2 prospects in Araujo & Todibo, we have no money for anything more than another prospect (who doesn't fit our main need of athletic CB) in Eric Garcia. He leaves, and our defense...

    Mavericky Puig

    If he played his career could have ended before it even get started. I think he is lucky he wasn't a part of this

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    He needs to stay and not call new elections. no new board will have a chance to clear the mess by the time they get elected, they will have to deal with this mess with no time and will only put more pressure on them early on. Polls say Laporta would get easy win for now. Font need this year...

    Ernesto Valverde

    There is still silver lining in this; no more people can just blame the coach. Setien was one the names that many Crujifista/Pepista's were fan of in past few years, most of them were happy to have him. I think now it looks clear we had a problem with squad and board.

    Luis Enrique

    Indeed. The away game syndrome we had has been going for far too long to be blamed on players or certain coach.

    Xavi Hernández

    Yup,Koeman comes to mind

    Quique Setien

    I understand the frustration, but this is really not the time to call out other members.

    Victor Font

    He is calling for early elections. Not sure if it is a political statement or he really wants it. Election now would be unfair to him, Laporta already has a landslide advantage over him and he needs this year to close the gap. If it happens it won't benefit him. I am not his biggest fan, but I...

    Jordi Alba

    Firpo himself was the standout of Liga at the position when we signed him and was also good at highlights. I mean let's see what the player do in his new club before crying on missing on him. if we are gonna feel bad for a player we missed on then Mendy is a better choice.

    Champions League

    Only 2 player so far have tested positive. Oblak is heavily rumored to be one while Trippier is speculated to be the other.

    Arthur

    At this point I don't really care about him and what he is going to turn into. Who was the last player that transformed his output here after 2 underwhelming seasons? Only one I can think of is Sanchez and even him was never Barca starting quality. Arthur wasn't going to be world class here...

    Quique Setien

    The other 2 players I mentioned? Ok

    Depends on the team, but around 3 games.

    CL | 1/4 Final: FC Barcelona - FC Bayern Munich 2-8

    That is just wrong, stats provides only a helpful insights that need to be put in context and just aids in ability to make decision. How you use is what helps you see the game, when you count on it and the human factors. Even club with best use of analytics in the world (Leicester) are doing it...
