    Frenkie de Jong

    No midfield can be out numbered with 2-3 players can do that, you can ask Pep's favorite student Xavi and he say exactly the opposite of what you are saying. Midfield dominance is dependant on the two other lines and vice versa. You don't dominate midfield with just your midfielder, you need...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Not sure what you are talking about, I've been pointing to the laziness of Suarez/Messi partnership since 2016-2017 season. It isn't just on EV, the team as constructed is build to be outnumbered with 2 lazy attackers that expose midfield (and will eventually lead to defense being exposed)...

    Zinedine Zidane

    Great game by him tbh.

    Frenkie de Jong

    He wasn't great, but tbf we were always out numbered by them. Their midfield had support while we didn't. Both Raki and FDJ suffered a lot

    Eduardo Camavinga

    We -club and coach- wanted him out last summer. We should have accepted any offer we got tbh. The whole situation was a mess. Raki won't factor in any future signings. At worst he will let his contract end in 2021

    Sergio Busquets

    He is surely losing his minutes this year. Biggest game of the season and zero minutes.

    Gerard Piqué

    Pique is almost always great whenever we are playing more defensively tbh. But he struggles when we are attacking. MOTM today

    Nelson Semedo

    When we say that we are haters, EV apologists, Roberto fans or whatever. It is human tendency to like the new shiny toy who they are less familiar to.

    Luis Suárez

    Said it before, and will say it again. Suarez is a great goal scorer but bad player. At some point better player need to be on field. Let Griezmann play centrally and either play a 4th midfielder or a winger. But it is time for Suarez era to end. He didn't just destroy our attack, but he walks...

    Antoine Griezmann

    He is the only one who gave a shit from front 3, for that I like what he gives us.

    Ivan Rakitić

    Actually, I don't think he had a bad game. 3rd midfielder was the worst today, whether it is Vidal or Roberto. His job was to protect the defense and he did that well. RM chances was mostly long shots, wasn't even in front of penalty area. He kept it simple when we had the ball, but midfield...

    Ernesto Valverde

    Poor game, by far his worst Clasico. Even worse than those Supercopa games.

    Xavi Hernández

    Agree. While the league is a joke by western European standards for sure, Asian version of CL is a very serious tournament atm and he did average there. Their clubs has been doing well in CWC too btw. He isn't doing a good job with what he has, and tbh he made a stupid move. He replaced a coach...

    Your choices for valverde replacement

    I do like EV overall, and I think he was a good option for the time he was hired with all Verratti/Neymar thing with an aging squad that was badly planned. But every coach has to leave at some point, and in our history we rarely have a long term coach. A quick search on our list of managers...

    Liverpool

    Liverpool wanted it to be played and not postponed. If postponed that would have affected their league schedule later and they didn't want that. They have even tried their best to lose against Arsenal but failed.

    Xavi Hernández

    Lost 2-6 against ES Tunis in CWC

    Mavericky Puig

    He has a chance to make it, he looks stronger this year IMHO. But I think the club is right to take things slowly, he is getting stronger, learning to dominate the game at this level before being thrown to the wolves in 1st team football. If he makes it here it is likely when he is 23-25 rather...

    Juan Miranda

    I would take Firpo over Miranda, and even if he is worse it means we bought the wrong player not that we made a wrong decision regarding Miranda. We counted on him last year, and it ended up badly. Kid is just not ready. We ended up overplaying Alba and despite having great season, he ended it...

    Ernesto Valverde

    I agree with that. Competitive league drive teams forward.

    Ernesto Valverde

    And that is because...? But Liga was won 5 times with such number of points since 1999. Although tbf never happened since 2007. Obviously it is still one of our worst seasons in recent years.
