    Frenkie de Jong

    FDJ has outperformed Coutinho by miles. Saying FDJ is no better than Coutinho is arguing in bad faith. Coutinho is barely worth a quarter of what Barca paid. FDJ would likely recoup most if not all of his transfer fee.

    Luis Suárez

    My mistake on the league table when Valverde was fired. Messi should have stayed. Suarez no. The juice wasn't worth the squeeze.

    Luis Suárez

    How much more could you get out of Suarez at that point? He was useless in Champions league games and Barca didn't even win the league in his last season.The team still wasn't leading the table either when Valverde was fired. Keeping around aging stars for too long means the rebuild years are...

    Luis Suárez

    He was still terrible to watch him with Messi. Could not dribble and could not run. It was boring to watch Messi slow down play and do his give and gos with Suarez every time in the final third.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Too aggressive when he doesn't have other players covering for him. 2nd goal was terrible judgement.

    Joan Laporta

    Don't know how you can say Laporta is clueless and also say that Barto had some football knowledge. Barto was a fool. After 2014, almost all his major signings were duds. Spending all that money only to have the team regress. Atleast Ac Milan can claim that their decline happened due to...

    Ronald Koeman

    Keita over FDJ, thats a funny one. Overrating a squad player who played on arguably the best club side. What's next? Afellay over Fati?

    CL | Round 2: SL Benfica - FC Barcelona 3-0

    Benfica already dropped points in their 1st game against Dynamo. Barca need to take care of business in both games against Dynamo and the rematch against Benfica. And also need to assume Bayern take both games against Benfica too.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Benfica played pretty physical against him. Going to have to learn to adapt to that.

    24 - Eric García

    Garcia had a nice game against the minnows of La Liga but he doesn't have what it takes to play in big games. European games are a different beast.

    Luuk De Jong

    He's been pretty bad during his time here and it is terrible indictment of Koeman that he continues to start him rather than using him as a late sub. I know the team is pretty limited in terms of its attacking options, but Luuk is just a waste of space with the way this team plays.

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    Would prefer to get a new keeper, but any new keeper has to also be pretty comfortable playing with the ball considering how much Barca rely on the GK during buildup play.

    Ronald Koeman

    A loss here would put Barca in a very tough situation in terms of making it to the KO stage. The lineup and setup were pretty bad.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Valverde got some criticism for including Araujo as his 4th CB rather than Todibo. The much maligned Valverde's legacy keeps improving.

    Mavericky Puig

    He still has the same problem he had a couple seasons ago. He can't play any defense. He runs around to press but it comes across like the least effective press considering all the effort he puts into it.

    Philippe Coutinho

    Don't have any hopes for him but I think he'll get more chances to prove if he can be the creative outlet for Depay and Fati playing up top together.

    Ronald Koeman

    Disagree about the team playing like shit. Of course the result wasn't good, but it was an enjoyable match to watch and Barca did what they could to try and break down a team parking the bus after an early goal.

    Joan Laporta

    Johan Cruyff would be rolling in his grave seeing how Laporta has treated Koeman. The president is off his rocker if he expected better results given the front 3 Koeman has to start.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    This guy is a menace on set pieces. Great to see a physical specimen like him patrolling the Barca backline.

    Ronald Koeman

    Koeman is doing a solid job for the club as manager. Can't give someone a Toyota Prius and then tell them to go win Le Mans. He has been very clear and thoughtful when you read his interviews. The media (some of it influenced by Barto) are smearing him and pulling out selective quotes. Another...
