Ernesto Valverde - V1
Zidane was rubbish at Castilla, it's pretty much certain that his time as Ancelotti's assistant manager did more for his development and ability to handle RM's first team than his stint at Castilla. And, while they haven't been 'better coached' this year, Zidane is on the cusp of 3 consecutive... -
Yerry Mina
His positioning and attention span is woeful, not just bad. He got caught sleeping constantly and didn't have the determination/motor to recover. He seems like a lackadaisical carefree guy and it shows on the pitch. More concerned with his dances, goals, and samba than keeping his head down...- DonAndres

Ernesto Valverde - V1
EV is certainly staying next season, no question about it. At this point I'm firmly on the Xavi train for our next coach. It worked for us with Pep (and Lucho, to an extent), it worked for RM with Zidane. At this point when the team needs to start completely fresh tactically and be... -
7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
Many of his best actions were closer to the interior, creating centrally. I get that he isn't a particularly great fit at either LW or LCM as of now but I think the best case for us AND him is to try to adapt him to the midfield role. We need someone there who can create, it's much easier to... -
Luis Suárez
So calling him a "fat cunt", "pig", "disgraceful cunt", "waste of air" isn't being vocal but saying "Fuck off I hate Suarez" after he misses a big chance in the game is? And you're telling me I can't put in a good argument? The reality is you only notice my "indiscretions" and no one elses...- DonAndres

Luis Suárez
Barcaman Are you really gonna keep coming at me as "the guy that hates Barca legends"? Everyone here and their mother knows Suarez is past it and have been frustrated as hell for well over a year about it. You should stop trying to hide your personal vendetta against me as some sort of...- DonAndres

Yerry Mina
Marlon was 10x better than this guy and we disposed of him for no reason. This club never has a clue about how to treat the players that are worthy of being here and getting chances, only showering love, money, and playing time to the frauds who don't deserve it at all. Goes way beyond Mina/Marlon.- DonAndres

Ernesto Valverde - V1
I agree with you that being assistant manager to EV would likely be better for him than coaching Barca B. Xavi is a football nerd through and through. He's more perceptive and observant than any player I've ever seen and this really came to light in a lot of his interviews after leaving Barca... -
Cr150
If Roberto could even defend a traffic cone Ronaldo wouldn't have had a single goal let alone "hattrick in the first half". Got all the space he wanted. TS88 would spout any rubbish to bow down to Ronaldo- DonAndres

Nelson Semedo
He should start every single game. It shouldn't have EVER been a contest between him and Roberto yet EV somehow managed to decide Roberto is better..... Semedo is miles better defensively.- DonAndres

Ernesto Valverde - V1
He's truly cementing himself as an absolutely garbage coach. 4-4-2 that benefits no one except Rakitic/Suarez, playing Coutinho RW, benching Dembele even though our offense is CLEARLY better every time he plays, not starting Semedo.... The guy forces us to doubt that he can even make the most... -
7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
Lol, and? Neymar is the most expensive player of all time and he's only really good on the left flank, not nearly as consistent in a central role. Players have their strengths. If the coach can't play towards that then he is fucking stupid and needs to go. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
He started playing a lot better when he had to take up the RW and drop a bit deeper because of Coutinho's exit.... Quel surprise, Valverde's tactics literally make everyone worse other than Rakitic and MAYBE Suarez. -
7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
Valverde is braindead for the way he handles Coutinho. Totally nullified as a RW, and the formation itself is the definition of garbage anyway. I really can't imagine how dense someone has to be to play Coutinho in practically the worst position for him. He lacks even the most fundamental... -
Joshua Kimmich
Kimmich's individual season so far isn't far off of what prime Lahm was producing offensively. Though it doesn't mean everything, he's statistically superior across the board to many of Lahm's best seasons. 13 assists in all comps, 4 goals in the CL and 2 against back to back Champions RM while...- DonAndres

Joshua Kimmich
Bayern would be absolutely nuts to let him go for any price. And we should swoop in without a second thought if they do go that way. Kimmich is class. He's already rivaling prime Lahm offensively, there's a solid case that he's at the point of surpassing him or will have done so very soon...- DonAndres

Antoine Griezmann
I believe that if we were playing the right formation we'd only need 1 more midfielder for the 'ideal' midfield. Hell, if the offense everywhere else is perfect (Griez/Dembele/Messi/Coutinho/Busi) then we'd be fine with Rakitic for the most part even. We did win a CL with Rakitic after all...- DonAndres

Antoine Griezmann
For those doubting him, think about how much Firmino helps to unlock Salah and get him chances to run at the defense quickly. Griezmann isn't quite as industrious as Firmino but he does have a very high workrate and is good at dropping back to combine and hold up play. I'd say Firmino is more...- DonAndres

Antoine Griezmann
I really don't see what the cons are. The choking thing is overblown as hell. Finals are single games and he's played in only 2 and "choked". Watching every single attempt from Messi to play 1-2's with Suarez or play him through on goal have been frustrating as hell for the past 2 years. His...- DonAndres

Mohamed Salah
His rise to the top is astonishing. He is better right now this season than Neymar ever was, maybe ever will be. Who would have imagined that from his time at Roma or before that? A man of miracles, I believe in him more than anyone (even Messi) this year to stop RM in the CL. Hopefully the...- DonAndres
