    Neymar Jr. - v5

    As predicted, Neymar came through when Barcelona needed him most. No one can ever doubt the worth of his transfer again. A truly special player :worthy:

    CL | Round of 16 - 2nd Leg: FC Barcelona - Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 (6-5 agg.)

    Lucho really wants to control the midfield/center then. Rafinha would have to play a very big role in keeping width on the right and Neymar has a lot of space to cover too. Our left flank actually looks weaker than our right flank defensively in this formation due to Iniesta IMO. The midfield...

    CL | Round of 16 - 2nd Leg: FC Barcelona - Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 (6-5 agg.)

    If we must die—let it not be like hogs Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, Making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die—oh, let us nobly die, So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    It never gets old. Messi is something else. Destroyed Celta with no effort, one of the best performances of his this season. I'm going into the CL match with no real expectations, just looking forward to seeing a good redemptive performance if Lucho's adjustments work. The only thing that gives...

    Who should be Barça's next coach after Lucho?

    I know and it's a bad feeling. It could be one of the biggest missed opportunities in years. If the pressure from the fans/media/etc. keeps up and Messi gives his recommendation to the board, it could potentially be enough to sway them.

    Who should be Barça's next coach after Lucho?

    Sampaoli has gotten the endorsement of Stoichkov and Bern Schuster to be Barcelona manager. When asked about the possibility of Sampaoli coaching, Pep simply said that "he is clearly a great manager". Outside of the club, Fabio Capello has said that Sampaoli would be perfect for Barcelona. If...

    Jorge Sampaoli

    If everything in this aligns correctly this could end up being the best stroke of fortune for the club in a moment where we badly need a new vision. Sampaoli has been building his resume upwards and knows what his end goals are as far as managing big clubs and maybe the Argentina NT. Barcelona...

    Thiago Translantara

    Imagine how different the past few years would be if he had never left. Instead of a gaping hole in the midfield we'd have a world class player from La Masia and our own answer to the Verratti's, Gundogan's, and Koke's of the world that we now long for. Imagine Thiago tearing it up next to...

    Jorge Sampaoli

    Has there been any rumor from the press or any evidence that he's under consideration? It'd be a total mistake if we picked the likes of Unzue/Eusebio over him.

    Neymar Jr. - v5

    He was by far the best today and continuously shows his quality despite his flaws. It'd be extremely stupid to let go of Neymar. He's the only other driving force going forward other than Messi and makes a big effort in every big game. Even when he's not a clinical scorer, he'll always showcase...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    He was a total and utter disaster today, but I'm surprisingly not worried about him. He's been a dominating force this season whether the team was functioning well or falling apart. This isn't like 13/14 where he genuinely looked uninspired at times and had personal motivational issues to...

    Luis Enrique

    100% agree with you. We went into this season believing we had the best and deepest squad in years and that's because for the most part it is. Lucho is the reason the squad isn't performing. Even RM have found success with squads thought to be filled with dead weight when they changed...

    Neymar MATS No one else.

    André Gomes

    Shitty passes, stupid fouls, totally overrun defensively, random handballs, and out of position many times leaving a massive cavity in our midfield. He got fucking chopped up by Kimpembe ffs. Sell him.

    Luis Enrique

    I don't get what you see in him when he so regularly demonstrates a distinct lack of talent in almost every aspect of play. He doesn't even show flashes of brilliance, just the occasional game against a non-pressing opponent where he might play a few forward passes here or there. I see no...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    Messi has to have a decent number more FK goals than Ronaldo has penalty goals this season IIRC :lol: What are the exact numbers?

    Aleix Vidal

    I said it in the chat and I'll say it again: if used properly I think he could be a very valuable sub. In a handful of tough games this season, Lucho has opted to make a late sub of taking off a defender and subbing in Arda to double up on the left flank with Neymar (as if Neymar himself doesn't...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v5

    El Flaco You asked for the link right before the chat closed: https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1102993/Live/Spain-La-Liga-2016-2017-Barcelona-Las-Palmas There are a handful of successful take-ons Messi had that I remember off the top of my head alone, yet they record none of them.

    Sergi Roberto

    Roberto is still gonna get the rest of this season to show if he can improve at RB. I did like his promise early on and I think he'd have an easier time in a well functioning system where he isn't entirely alone on his flank. However, if it proves that he's not a long term solution at RB, then...

    14 - Javier Mascherano

    Hate to say it but Masche is one of our weakest links. Been abysmal in defense for the most part this season. BMG had a questionable pen call today while Masche trying to take the striker's legs out from behind nowhere near the ball. Umtiti was the one dueling with him but Masche wanted to take...
