    Ivan Rakitić

    Average to decent performance to be honest. Sporting was slow in pressing and he cannot be a DM. Busquets still was much better for me that night. All in all, just another mediocre midfielder, he just isn't the same anymore.

    Luis Suárez

    Lmao. Who knows? Roberto shifts to RB Dembele to a RM, probably Pique shifts to GK position.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    That's not what I was implying. But if u wanna do it mathematically, it's much more impossible for Juventus to overtake us than Real Madrid to overtake Spurs. We pretty much already secured the first place so there's no reason to not at least include some B team players, while Zidane portrays a...

    Look who's top of the table genius.

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    It's really not that complicated. He's here for the sake of being here. One simply does not see real passion behind those emotionless eyes. He doesn't care about the future of the club nor does he give a shit about getting any accolades or cementing himself in the club's history. I was right...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Another more plausible reason os that he's a straight up coward, simple as that.

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    I'm a little skeptical about signing Coutinho but he can seriously add some threat on our left side, Iniesta wont have to move too wide as well. Saying he's worse than Denis Suarez is abit far fetched, I still think Coutinho has more quality and physicality and pace. He's almost like a...

    Neymar Jr. - v5

    PSG certainly has what it takes to win, their biggest fear shud be City, provided they don't suffer any major injuries or setback. PSG has terrifying pace when they break on the counter, so it will be interesting if both City and PSG do get to the finals.

    CL | Round 6: FC Barcelona - Sporting Lisabon 2-0

    I still prefer Lucho. Lucho had suffered a terrible squad depth which isn't his fault to be honest, just when u thought the new season has new additions to strengthen the team Valverde actually made us experience Deja Vu and we are back to square one and are actually defending and playing...

    CL | Round 6: FC Barcelona - Sporting Lisabon 2-0

    Is it me or is every new game and thread discussion just seems useless and boring now bcos I know for a fact who is Valverde going to play again? To be honest, his tactics have been getting draws and close wins for most parts but we never did seem convincingly dominant for once. It's got to a...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    This match is pretty even, I dont know why people keep harping on the refs. The offside was very tight. We are exposed in midfield, so many players isolated, Umtiti and Pique didnt have enough support, so much so that Umtiti had a hamstring pulled and people still are gonna approve Valverde's...

    Arthur

    True but Lucho might still play him. Lucho was still the one who promoted Sergi Roberto to the starting 11 while Valverde is a straight up weakling who wont dare to play him even for a single minute. Plays Iniesta in a useless Juventus match when he could have experimented with any of them...

    Arthur

    He's good, I definitely can tell you that. Definitely no Xavi or Iniesta but dribbling and passing is his main strength, tats good enough. And I really like his balance and composure, explosiveness. What I can never understand is how Barca scouted Gomes or Denis Suarez or even Arda bcos they nvr...

    Lliga | Round 14: FC Barcelona - Celta Vigo 2-2

    Some Barca fans love to blame the linesmen, the refs, the few chances that "should" be goals, but if it happens to the opposition team, we wouldnt complain. That's no excuse. If thats the case, we deserve to win every game in the CL last season just bcos we "created more chances". Then every...

    Lliga | Round 14: FC Barcelona - Celta Vigo 2-2

    We could have been better if Valverde didn't force a 442 setup, as usual Suarez and Rakitic were VERY slow, lost the ball alot, hardly supported Messi, you could argue Messi missed an open header but hey, he scored the first and led the second, like what more do ppl want. Overall, Umtiti and...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Sometimes attack is the best defence, I mean look at Real Madrid last season, they dont necessarily play tiki taka or have all the possession in the world but they force opponents' defence to stretch by utilising the wings alot in a 433 setup, Marcelo, Ronaldo, even Benzema is fast and is...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Wrong. The fact that Pique and Umititi were even bearing so much of the defensive workload is still part of tactics. And our attack were wingless and tootheless, which led to so many cheap counters in the first place. Suarez and Rakitic which VALVERDE himself have SO MUCH faith in, were also to...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    Regardless of Pique making a mistake or not, we have too many midfielders congested in the centre, a flat 442 with no wings utilised, it leads to easy dispossession in the centre and very easy for opponents to break on the counter and those midfielders will be too upfront to track back to help...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    If I'm not wrong, players selection and management, tactics, formation are coaches' responsibility. When the team wins, people claim Valverde is a tactician and a genius but when they lose u blame it on the players? He shud never have played Suarez and Rakitic, who were slowing down the attack...

    Lliga | Round 14: FC Barcelona - Celta Vigo 2-2

    Dont blame the refs, none of the calls were too major and the offside was very tight. We have been lucky for too many games now with own goals and deflections, so u cant complain when our luck runs out. What remains clear is the terrible managerial decisions that should have been exposed long...
