    CL: Ajax - FC Barcelona 0-2

    Crappy game. Ajax aren't even a good side, but they had us trembling in the first half. The team showed no spirit imo: Messi was back to doing absolutely nothing defensively. There was no pressing at all against a team known to struggle against pressing sides. We were lucky to get away...

    Lliga: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 3-1

    :goodpost: I agree with basically every point you make. Lucho disappointed me yesterday. Carvajal and Marcelo weren't tracked at all, because our attackers were far too narrow defensively. Defensive solidity should've been our no.1 priority: with a draw, we would've been 4 points clear of...

    Jeremy Mathieu

    He was indeed the worst man on the pitch today. Disappointing on the ball, and too central defensively imo

    Jeremy Mathieu

    I can easily see him scoring another corner goal against Real. Let's hope he does!

    Lliga: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 3-1

    Would've preferred Rakitic over Xavi, but oh well. Nice to see Enrique adding some solidity at the back with Mathieu starting over Alba. A draw is all we need imo.

    EURO 2016 Qualifying

    ^Sadly, I don't see a better option that's realistic. Mind you, I don't like him either.

    EURO 2016 Qualifying

    Kudos to Iceland for beating us, but what the hell were we doing? Absolutely disgraceful result. I want Hiddink out already. Out of 3 matches, we only managed to collect 3 points. In 2 months, our team has gone from number 3 of the world to number 3 in the qualification group......Hiddink is a...

    Memphis Depay

    I can easily see PSV selling him right before the transfer deadline. For the player, it would probably be the best option to leave. He's too good for the Eredivisie, and it makes him sloppy imo. He was way more clinical in the Dutch NT, and playing at a higher level would suit him.

    Christian Eriksen

    ^I know, it sucks. I actually recommended him for Barça instead of Cesc on this forum last year. He would've been excellent for us, for a modest fee.

    Zakaria Bakkali

    ...and now he's apparently changed his mind; he wants to stay at PSV after switching agents. Oh well, PSV is not capable of challenging for the title anyway, so why should I even care.

    24 - Thomas Vermaelen

    Overrated player. He doesn't defend well, but oh well....at least he scores goals! That's certainly more important for a defender, right? We don't need to be able to defend as long as we outscore the opponent!

    Zakaria Bakkali

    He's got a horrible attitude, he's a bit of a prima donna imo. He's a player that seems to rely on his instincts only. I don't think he's got the intelligence needed to be a success at a club like Atleti. He doesn't strike me as a player that Cholo would like, with his individualistic playstyle.

    Brazil

    I disagree. Dunga's side looked far more solid defensively. I think he can do a better job than Scolari.

    Barça's Transfers and Rumors

    Blind shouldn't be a target. He can't defend at all. He's an intelligent player with decent technical abilities, but I really don't think he's anywhere near Barça material. He was good for Ajax as a CDM, but even in the Eredivisie he was quite bad as a LB. He's very slow and quite weak; there...

    Germany

    Strange decision. Trouble with the coach for having to play RB again? I heard he prefers midfield now, although he fares better as a RB to me, in the Germany NT at least. Otherwise, it seems kinda early to retire, especially considering the fact he should easily be able to hold his starting...

    Toni Kroos

    Real, I believe, have a bigger fanbase worldwide and have been similarly succesful lately, more or less. So it's not weird if he says Real's a bigger club imo.

    Which trophies will Barca win in 2014/15?

    Because they have actual height there. I see I may be wrong there, because we conceded less goals than Real last season, and I was not aware of that. Still, I worry about our uncomfortability in dealing with crosses and our diminished ability to use a high line. We didn't press particularly well...

    Which trophies will Barca win in 2014/15?

    Winning the CL would be a huge surprise to me. I'd be satisfied if we'd win La Liga, but I fear Real might be more solid at the back, and that they will win La Liga.
