10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Doubt it, especially if u still have EV as the manager. Depends whether he could be more assertive of the dressing room and drop deadweights like Suarez. The problem isnt facing Real Madrid in that competition, we literally were knocked out by other opponents. So I dont think Zizou leaving will... -
Ivan Rakitić
He is. He has been very mediocre, considering he is supposedly a workhorse alongside Busquets but he's too slow in tracking back and hasnt quite provided the same workrate as he had before. He definitely has some moments or matches when he did show up as an extra man and was fairly effective...- henias

Ivan Rakitić
Rakitic can be very inconsistent like Suarez and has few individual brilliances here and there. Other than that, he's very limited and the 442 has been designed to suit him. Which is why he does look relatively good in such a system, while other players like Busquets, Iniesta suffers greatly...- henias

Should Barca prioritize the Champions?
Just stop treating Copa like some kind of trophy that people are going to give a shit, Madrid doesnt even give a fuck about it. I suggest we just let majority of Barca B players have a go at it and they can have more exposure. We dont need to prioritise UCL, but at least we should be more...- henias

Ernesto Valverde - V1
Again, Denis has contributed much more than Gomes, not "little" at all. I was talking about the late season, why are you talking about the start of the season? "Too big of a squad hinders possibility to play youth players?" Haha who are u kidding? I dont see Arda or Rafinha playing and were... -
Ernesto Valverde - V1
Denis have offered much more than Gomes and has always been, Turan and Rafinha were long gone, funny how you mentioned them. If you cant even let Alena play for 5-10 mins like Gomes would have, let alone in a useless league game when the league is won, then dont give some excuses like u dont... -
Zinedine Zidane
Of course, he is no Pep Guardiola. But what makes him so respectable is he is extremely charismatic and players look up to him. Being the club's legend also earn that trust and respect from the players. And he absolutely prioritises the competition alot, he knows how fresh players can be...- henias

Ernesto Valverde - V1
If you limit yourselves with options, like how he always "prefer a small squad", then no matter how many class signings there are, you'll still get slaughtered. Alena has potential, no matter how he'll turn out, you'll still have to pick him over Gomes, and you'll still need fresh legs to carry... -
Champions League 2017/18
Barcelona is doing themselves a huge disservice by getting themselves knocked out. I swear if we are in the finals or semis, they would struggle badly. Because lets be fking honest, who has Messi in their team? Salah as good as he is, aint anything close to Messi. We've only ourselves to blame... -
Josep Maria Bartomeu
Yes he is responsible, if a coach cant motivate or propel the team or be held accountable when the team is struggling, then he shouldn't manage the team in the first place. Players have attitude? Why so they werent their same self at the start of the season and all of them somehow choose to show...- henias

Champions League 2017/18
Valverde so called "conservative approach" is pass back and forth with little penetration and counter attacks that are almost non-existent. "Conservative approach" here is a very vague and broad subject, if you are talking specifically about Valverde's approach, you would have to hope for a... -
Champions League 2017/18
I'm a Barca fan but this post is pathetic. Madrid dominated the game. -
Nelson Semedo
No way we are getting a WC RB next season, so might as well develop Semedo and give him more consistent minutes. If you're just gonna play him for 2 games straight and then benched for the next 4 games that might as well dont expect Semedo to improve. Roberto is never going to improve as a RB...- henias

Ernesto Valverde - V1
I never claimed he needs trophy perfect seasons as well, you keep skidding off track. That's not what I'm talking about. It's fairly clear to see what kind of style he is more accustomed and what he prefers- the style he used in Bilbao. He overly emphasises on physicality over anything else... -
Ernesto Valverde - V1
No one is moaning about the double, get your facts straight. The domestic double this season isnt very tough because of Madrid's hiccup this season. We didnt get humialated by Real, but we got thoroughly dominated by Roma, Levante, Sevilla plus very poor to mediocre performances in the second... -
Denis Suarez
Denis is the only one who can fill Iniesta's spot for now until we get a replacement, and then see how things go. If he makes it good for him, because he does show alot of potential. He's very hardworking despite having so little playtime which is good thing.- henias

Xavi Hernández
Don't think Xavi is the best coach either, would prefer someone like Iniesta. But then having EV in your team is seriously stifling.- henias

Ernesto Valverde - V1
I'm sorry, we look like complete drab and shit in the late season and are struggling on the pitch. People arent hating for no reason and their concerns are definitely legitimate. The Roma was a wake up call when people just can't seem to care about the problems we have and the lethargy they were... -
Nelson Semedo
It's really more of a confidence issue, he seem to cant let loose and is afraid of making mistakes. Just dont think he can develop under Valverde especially with Roberto constantly in his place. Even next season Semedo wont see a consistent gametime. I'd rather we'd just sell him although I...- henias
