    Mohamed Salah

    yes they did, without them Liverpool may not get to the CL at all, let alone get to 2nd leg of the CL semis. Salah created problems for Barca in the 1st leg as well.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Very good for him, nice way for him and De Ligt to go out. BTW why not grab Ten Hag, Van de Beek & Tadic too--full Barca makeover right there.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Completely agree!

    Jordi Alba

    Yeah just like how Real, City, Juv and Bayern jettison their legends and veterans. Oh wait, do I hear Ramos, Modric, Kompany, Aguero, Chiellini, Nueuer and Mueller yelling in the background? These guys like Alba have done more of the club than all these peanut gallery keyboard warriors. He...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Um no. Anyone giving Messi crap is an embarrassment and lacks the dignity of maggot on dog poop, and should go become a fan of whoever wins the CL this year.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    I think it is Messi, unless Liverpool win the CL and Dutch win Nations league and Messi doesn't do anything in Copa. Still at lost has to go for VVD or still Messi's. Lucas Moura has no chance--a couple of shining moments not matter what they stage of an otherwise lackluster season (he is like...

    Jordi Alba

    Last years FU was far more on umtiti/pique, this year Alba.

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    Messi is why barca has has a chance each year for the cl, why they had a fighting chance vs a team like liverpool or city, and why barca is dominating domestically in a country with Real Madrid also there. However for barca to be slam dunk the best in the world they need a better manager and at...

    Nelson Semedo

    Good question, probably some of both. The fact there is a lot of similarity @PSG, @Juv, @Roma, Liverpool would suggest players are part of it. One more little thing. Klopp even said somethng like if we go out with a beautiful effort, so be it. He was less result focused than playing for each...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Oh I agree the matter of Umtiti is not urgent. But I see the opp if you let him do we can get De Ligt in, and at 19 and how he has played this year seems too much long term upside. There are far bigger matters, namely a better more tuned in coach, and another forward who has good enough...

    Arthur

    Arthur didn't play in the 3-0 match I don't think. But he was very very good if I recall in the 1-1 match when a more rested Real tried to jump on us at the Camp Nou with everything they got. How Arthur played vs the best midfield in the world gives me a ton of confidence that when he is fully...

    Antoine Griezmann

    Avoid Icardi like a plague--both for how he plays on the pitch (greedy player) and his off the pitch impact. Kane, Son, Griezmann are far superior players and Jovic likely too.

    Jordi Alba

    What should he say? Alba has a truly terrible night, worst I ever recall from him. But he is one of the best in the world, if not the bets in the world. Marcelo and later year's Alves, the focused defense was a problem for them too. Another interesting element to the game is around...

    Ivan Rakitić

    No it is not OK in 2012. However the timing of tweet resurrection streaks of alternative motivation than a public discussion of homophobia and racism. Further, I guess it may not matter in Seria A than other leagues with enough money to purchase him, but we want more bidders from more leagues...

    Nelson Semedo

    I agree with you. But I think change most needed is the manager for the reasons you suggest. I do think that is a major change, FDJ is a major acquisition, so that is another. I agree the rest could be gradual or minor. I don't think we are that far away. "inspired collectives only last for...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Point taken about wages, as a fan (and I think for EV) we should look at squad, less on wages, and not at all fees (since they are in the past). I look a fee paid less than many here but I get your point. Agree with the pace issue and lack of attacking creativity. I really think a bit unfair to...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    I don't blame Coutinho but to me it is pretty clear he isn't a great fit with Messi, and further, he/Busi/Raki/Sergi add too much collective slowness & collective lack of physicality--most of them should be moved to the bench or move on and you can't justify his wage on the bench. In the end I...

    Antoine Griezmann

    I'll take either, or Son or Kane. +/-s for each but I kind of think AG is the safest pick thought pretty sure any of the 4 would really help us. Jovic has the highest potential but also potential fail rate--but I'd take that chance. Yeah I didn't think the AG is a bottler point deserved a...

    Nelson Semedo

    We are going to have won 2/3 major trophies and lost by a goal in the CL semis. Sky is not falling. But we need some major changes. Some are in adding more youth and dynamism in a couple of positions-- but most of all sense of purpose, attitude and collective spirit as 9/11 our players got...
