    Luis Suárez

    Suarez should really be given some advice on passing the ball. That types of mistakes make you pay.

    Luis Enrique

    It seemed, in the last 15 minutes I watched from the first half, that there was a lot more to take when Iniesta was on the pitch. I was quite surprised to see Iniesta getting subbed off. I think Lucho wanted to bring defensive stability but that may have cost us a second goal. It's quite scary...

    Copa | Quarter-final 1st leg: Real Sociedad - FC Barcelona 0-1

    Barca should "jump" at them from the very beginning. Judging their last performances, Gomes deserves more to start the game than Rakitic

    Luis Enrique

    That's quite interesting but I highly doubt that Neymar would accept staying wide. When he doesn't bring his A-game , it can hurt us when he gets inside and plays "à la Messi". Turan is certainly not the player Neymar is, but he seems to be more effective. But let's stop the comparison there as...

    Luis Enrique

    Might be true what you are saying, but I can hardly imagine him performing well in a double pivot. And he is indeed crucial in big games imho. One of our main objectives should be to make them pay their high pressure tactics and force them to either park the bus or concede lots of occasions...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    I don't think Messi's positioning issue. He had Alves and Rakitic, in far better days, to combine with last season. One sad but plausible thing to say is that there are very good chances IMHO that the current Qatar-version of Xavi is superior to the Rakitic and Gomes of yesterday against...

    Liga l Round 12: FC Barcelona - Malaga 0-0

    Please correct me if I am wrong, as far as I can remember, Barca used to knock such opponents clean out if the latter parked their bus under Guardiola, Tito and even Martino, would I argue. Man even with our B team under Guardiola Barca kept their construct. What's worrying, is that as soon as...

    CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

    Just imagine a futsal game between these two teams : Team 1 ( 2010-2012 version apart from Messi ) GK - Pinto Busquets Xavi Iniesta Thiago Messi Team 2 ( 2014-2016 version) GK Ter Stegen Busquets Iniesta Rakitic Turan Messi * My bad, let's say it#s 4 players + 1 sub What happens if...

    CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

    It would take too much time to explain everything I am meaning. But I would rather prefer getting "loathed" about Busquets being a diver than Mascherano insulting the referee, x and x players having tax problems, x and x players travelling to South America during the week etc... Sorry man, but...

    CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

    As much as there are thing I don#t like about Pep ( and I will be the first to recognize that he#s a genius tactician), you have to admit that Pep's Barca was a lot more humble. What does Barca stand for nowadays ? What did it stand for yesterday ? I still have sweet memories of the...

    CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

    I am more disgusted with the "fans" who were talking this none-sense that Barca is unbeatable and bla bla bla than with the team's performance. Some people have (rotten) egg on their face...

    yeah boy, doesnt change the matter of the fact that we outrageously dominated them in the second half, it was an astonishing beatdown in terms of football

    CL quarters: Atletico - Barca (3-2 agg)

    The trainers' press conferences will be key in my opinion to try to determine the state of mind of both teams.

    Not at all, David Villa was already gone champ, check your facts. It was under Tata Martino, the return leg in the CL quarter finals.

    Lliga | Round 32: Real Sociedad - FC Barcelona 1-0

    I am absolutely convinced that our problem is mainly mental/psychological. In our times, some things appear to be what they aren't. Under Tata, we played one of the best half of the decade against Atletico Madrid in the CL return leg but it was one of the worst season of the last decade. That's...
