Ivan Rakitić
Exactly, the minutes are insane. Last year as well, based on how much Busquets, Rakitic, Pique, Suarez and Messi played. This year would be the same if not for so many injuries. Funny how Messi stated they will bring the CL trophy to Camp Nou, trying to prioritise their main goal, yet you have...- henias

Ernesto Valverde - V1
Lol nope. I have praised EV before as well, but as usual his actions are short lived and the usual core of his is for everyone to see. Unlike people like who never fail to come here to speak in a condescending tone and then get wound up when people speak the same to you. "Plebs" Haha says you... -
Ernesto Valverde - V1
Ev fan getting so wound up with comparing if Tata better or worse. Getting desperate now. :lol: -
Liverpool
The tide will turn eventually. Slowly but surely. Spanish teams dominating because of Barcelona's and Madrid's golden period, good players good managers, Ronaldo and Messi but even Barcelona struggle to get past RO8 for past few years now. Now Madrid is missing their key player, manager, who's...- henias

7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
Never said he's gonna fit into our current 433 because we hardly used a 433 at all. Never fancied using a traditional 433 as well. Even against Tottenham it's more of a flat 442, 4231. If Coutinho wants to adapt here, he should be deployed deeper with a flexible midfield 3, would allow him to... -
7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
Never said it was a "Barca 433". Tite still fancies a flexible midfield 3 by nature as opposed to Valverde's double pivot roles. Brazil's 4231 on paper usually translates to a 4141 or 433 on the pitch. I also never said Coutinho is the best fit in our system as well if you look at my post the... -
7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
Tite still uses 433 or a 4141 with a main destroyer Casemiro and occasionally Coutinho as a much deeper CM role, some could say he's a False 10. Valverde actually plays a 4231 even though it's 433 on paper, especially with Coutinho. The problem isn't quite the 433 formation wise but their... -
11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1
Pique and Neymar were often late as well, granted he's still a young kid and a new player that still will mature. Still needs to be shown more guidance off the pitch, and be given more support from the team. No reason to throw him under the bus and wanting him out and the media to keep provoking... -
7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
I still remember arguing as I was extremely skeptical about the signing of Coutinho back then and people thought I was against the player himself. Essentially I know Coutinho is a more versatile player who can function as a CAM, false 10, a hybrid winger or even a CM, but he will find it hard to... -
CL | Round 6: Barca - Tottenham 1-1
The problem is he hardly ever rested them anyway if it weren't for injuries, which is why most see this match as a clear opportunity to rest. Right, there will be tons of CDR and easy league games... which he wont rest either.- henias

CL | Round 6: Barca - Tottenham 1-1
I have a feeling this guy fears for his own job more than the future and well beings of his players. Even if it means losing in a meaningless match, he wouldn't risk it. He's lucky he's got depth this season, he could just simply replace someone with injuries easily. But I already have a...- henias

11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1
The board is naive enough to buy a 130M Coutinho as well, as a replacement to Iniesta who's a CM, no wonder Klopp couldn't contain his laughter. If anything it was the Neymar saga that created this mess, yet players are expected to instantly produce without proper guidance, because of price tags... -
7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1
It's not a 433 at all. It's a flat 442 that ends up looking like a 4231 with heavy possession, especially with Messi dropping off. Same formation used against both legs of Chelsea. Only true 433 we played was against Juventus last season. -

I would definitely try the 343. Posted this in the formation thread. -

Sane's been terrible lately, his decisions in the box are questionable. -
Team Formation and Tactics
3-4-3 - Coutinho 10, Messi False 9 I would like to see Coutinho as a number 10 CAM role, instead of a CM or LW. I think would suit him the best as he can roam in those half spaces, and pick out passes. When Messi drops deep, he can venture forward. A very versatile role for him. 4-3-3 -...- henias

Ernesto Valverde - V1
Leo_Messi Dude, oh gosh, I know the board has been an ongoing underlying problem, I've always said that in my posts. But both the board and Valverde are big issues, doesnt mean one being a problem means the other is any less. I'm not saying Valverde is the one to only blame for the multilayered... -
Frenkie de Jong
Never mind Frenkie, I don't think most young talented players will be attracted to Barcelona. We aren't the same anymore. Can't blame him for not choosing Barca.
