    Premier League 2021/2022

    Imo, Pep's system works perfectly only under two conditions: 1. When you have Messi 2. When you have 10 playmakers on a field who interchange positions, with a true No9 At City, he is in problems. Without Messi, he'll never win a CL. And it often seems that he lacks a killer finisher since...

    Arsenal

    These things change over years. Liverpool were eternal losers for years then turned into a good and mentally strong team lately. Barca was often in the past one of the most mentally fragile teams in the world, yet they changed during Pep. Lately we are again team who can lose against anyone and...

    Lewa will be meh, he won't be scoring goals for fun, so Messi's narrative won't be ruined.

    Yesterday while watching the match, I came to an idea that buying Lewa is more than a sporting decision and more like a brand/statement. When Laporta came here the first time, his ultimate goal was to sign Beckham. Not because Beckham was the best player in the world. But to open a new chapter...

    I fell for that in the past. I will not predict numbers. My general sentiment is that buying 34 year old for 50m is a stupid move. We are barely relevant in Uefa cup so Lewa won't improve us too much. Best case scenario: = he doesn't decline superfast and we win 2 La Ligas in the next 2 years...

    Ballon d or: 2016: 16th 2017: 9th 2018: not in top 20 2019: 8th 2020: -- 2021: 2nd Just sayin. Salah, Mbappe, Benz, Neymar were usually infront of him. But with revisionism, suddenly he is the most influental attacker in the last 5 years bar Messi and Cr7. Not that Bdor is the best...

    Cr7 is with Messi the greatest footballer or scorer of all time, winning numerous CLs. Lewa somehow emerged in the last 2 years as some killer, when Messi and Cr7 declined and now with revisionism we are suddenly placing Lewa in the same bracket with Cr7. I know that people need hope and...

    I remember Fcs who made transfers after 30: Sheva from Milan to Chelsea. Disaster Rivaldo from Barca to Milan. Bad Ronaldinho from Barca to Milan. Finished Henry from Arsenal to Barca. Meh in the first season. Larsson and Aguero to Barca: injured all the time. Stoichkov from Barca to Parma...

    In my explanation, I have added different factors which make it easier or harder to adapt to a new club, for example: 1. Age 2. Nationality. For South American/Latin players, it is easier to fit into La Liga than let's Bundesliga. English and Scandinavian players usually fit better into English...

    People are on drugs, totally lost their heads. Each player is unique, but since 2000 at Barca: 1. Only around 30% of signings reached expectations 2. At least 70-80% of new signings struggle in their first season at Barca and even if they click later on, usually their first season is the...

    Try to twist this: Suarez Liverpool final season: 33 matches, 31 league goals Suarez, first season at Barca: 27 matches, 16 goals The point of my post is that almost every striker struggles in his first Barca's season. With Suarez, you could even argue that he had more Barca/Spain connections...

    Yes, but in the same club/league where he played for 10 years. Messi was Ballon D Or at Barca last season. I can't even find a word for his displays at Psg a few months later. So, we aren't getting Benz from RM. We are getting Messi from Psg or Cr7 from Juve/Man Utd.

    Modric was considered as the worst signing of a season in his first RM season. He also needed time to adapt to a new country. Let's check some other forwards at Barca and their impact in the first season. Ronaldinho 2003 Psg 8 goals Barca 15 La Liga goals Larsson Celtic 30 league goals Barca...

    People are emotional as always. I wasn't too happy with our team for years and I am not too high on any of our current players. Raphinha gives me some hopes. Also, I have some hopes on Kessie. About Lewa, I think that he will be a monumental failure. Paying 50m for him is...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    As a midfielder. 1. Forwards are closer to 1-2 out of 10 with knee injuries (as in returning as good as they were) 2. Fati had more than one injury 3. He is out for 2 seasons already 4. Agile and pacey forwards are naturally losing those traits in the late 20s, even without injuries So, stats...

    João Félix

    That's because Pep's players, except Messi, don't win CLs and always lose in this or that unbelievable fashion. With Haaland, there is a chance, even for Pep to win a CL.
