    22 - Marc Bernal

    He is overly safe on ball currently and was before his injury but also his age plays a part there. Is never going to be the quickest so will need to work on moving ball forward earlier and with more purpose. These young players that grow to that size quite quickly can take a bit more time to...

    Watched game again and having a left footed cb helps Barca a lot in trying to combat the way teams have been trying to trap and Barcas full backs.. in this case Balde on the ball. Teams have been doing it all season and Chelsea suffocated Barca with it. Araujo kept just deferring the ball...

    Araujo will never be anything close to a world class defender and never has been.

    Inigo injury for a couple games wouldnt have impacted it or made them renew him.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Cant see anyone buying him and Barca if sell him cant even spend much on a replacement. Even out on loan...what team would want him and what could Barca even do to to bring someone. Most likely scenario is we get headlines in next few weeks of 'Araujo is refreshed and ready to meet the...

    Araujo was playing like an imbecile in big games long before Flick.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Xavi lost it on the bench and used to verbally abuse his own players. If Flick starts that and making Xavi excuses about media to manipulate his situation he can sling his hook. Unlikely though.

    Ernesto Valverde

    Inaki been out for weeks. Nico has same injury as Yamal. Navarro went over his ankle at weekend. Vesga not been playing much lately.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Yeah that is what it will be and he was probably absolutely raging at the game not being put to bed in second half and then Alaves going close to scoring a few times at end. There was never much meaningful control of game. First half was a chaotic shit show. Second half for first half hour...

    Feels like when Xavi played the 'I will resign as press are horrible to me' card to shift the narrative away from own mistakes and building heat. Few weeks/months later when furore has died down hope all is forgotten.

    His attempt at some kind of over head kick clearance for their goal was so bad it was comical. How can two deep Barca midfielders play a game and a half between them and have one progressive pass? Wild.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    There is absolutely no way he was that upset or being consoled due to coaches being red carded. Cover story as doesnt want to go into it with the media.

    Premier League 25/26

    The quality of football in EPL is far far higher than other leagues across the board. Like any league though if have similarly matched teams can lead to some boring games..but that is not reflective of quality.

    His agents probably love visiting. Last time he was out team and making fuck ups when played they gave him a new contract with juicy wage rise. A few months later he fucks up v Dortmund and Inter... they let go of players starting ahead of him and talk up his future at club. Evert time he...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Can all swing so easily this week. Win and Real drop points and it looks rosy. Drop points and Real win they are top having played 9 of first 15 games away from home and been to Ateti, Athletic etc.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    'Good passing, physicality and engine' From the folk that think Casado is better than Frenkie. Couldnt make it up. No one in Barca team does the 'Pirlo role' or trying to. Its amazing that a player that lacks so little can out play likes of Real midfielders, Inters midfield and the great...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Yet folk still rate Casado. Sensational.

    17 - Marc Casadó

    He did nothing on ball the whole game or the 2nd half and was awful as soon as Alaves pressed high at end.

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    The Van Basten quote... after a game where the opposition coach and players actually talked about FDJ being the one they couldnt handle tactically as lost. Also folk miss on that Van Basten quote is that he said that Frenkie played like that in that particular game and it is NOT how he plays...

    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    He is brilliant at that to be fair. So is Pedri. Now that is Celta game.... Who had most progressive passing yds in game? Frenkie with 341 yds What had most passes into final 3rd? Frenkie with 14. More than double any other player. Who had second most passes into penalty area? Frenkie Who had...
