    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    relegation from Segunda cannot happen. It's extremely difficult to get back up once down since there are 4 groups in the 3rd division. I really pray that we start Adama permanently and now that Roman is back, him too. Thankfully Bedia just equalized. Our best lineup (minus Sanabria since he...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Man :lol: Adama dribbles three guys drifting into the middle, looks up and sees there's no one there, has the option to drive towards goal, yet cuts back out and dribbles another guy to put in a cross that no one is there for. If he was more goal oriented, he'd be unstoppable.

    Xavi Hernández

    Xavi has always been mobile. He's not fast or box to box but he is mobile. Busquets is more static in the way he plays, relying on positioning rather than movement. Xavi is constantly shuffling around distributing the ball and giving passing options for linkup, that's what you need in an...

    Xavi Hernández

    Don't fix what isn't broken. Busquets is best in his role with some added playmaking responsibility as he is getting now, he isn't mobile enough or fit enough to successfully excel at an outright distributor role. Samper is more of a natural CM, he can push up from a pivot to a hybrid...

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    How much longer is Joan Roman out for?

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Man Nieto is such a frustrating little shit. He doesn't know how to pass and shoots horribly every time he gets the ball, wasting a possible chance.

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    He just scored the equalizer so.... It's sad that he's leaving but he's still a great player and we still have use for him while he's still here. Dongou is training with the first team anyway I believe so no one else there to fill the role (Sandro is injured).

    Barca draws Man City

    I'm surprised for saying this but our defense is actually quite a bit better than City's ATM. Pique is in good form, Bartra solidifying himself constantly too, and I'd say adding Alba back and soon Valdes, we'd be pretty stable defensively. The pressing and covering space this year has done...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    The whole "no player is bigger than the club" b/s just creates a scenario that puts the club vs the player. There's nothing logical or productive to that statement and all it does is dare someone to challenge it and ultimately screws everyone over in a poor attempt to implement some sort of...

    Valencia

    Reports that Juan Antonio Pizzi has an agreement to be Valencia coach. Also apparently the club is for sale as well, any information on whether the new owners would inject cash similar to Monaco/PSG/etc.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Damn, one of the best/funniest posters on here :p To be honest, The Observer reminds me a lot of him.

    What happened to Ursegor?

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    I'm talking about Messi's statement as being calculated. Faus's was just stupid and careless, slipping something out in a way that created a problem. Messi's response had the purpose of defending himself and discrediting his critic.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    It was a calculated statement from Messi, not for the purpose of lashing out in a reactive and petty way. He had to do something when a board member that's supposed to back him up intentionally created a problem out of thin air and added more to Messi's already filled plate of media torment...

    Mario Gotze

    Gotze is an amazing talent, if he continues this way and gets better I see no reason as to why he wouldn't cement a place for himself in footballing history, but Messi is Messi and the only reason Gotze is compared to him is due to proximity of playing era and having Messi as the "pillar" for...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    :worthy: :worthy: :worthy: The only hope I have for this is that Rosell himself is not dumb enough to worsen this. While he may not be a good president, he certainly knows politics well enough to realize that the only resolution is to give full backing to Messi because he is the victim of this...

    Mateo Musacchio

    Puyol was even shorter, yet he was good in the air. With a combination of Pique, Bartra, and Musacchio probably being the main rotations for CB we'd have pretty good height with one at 6ft4 and the others at 6ft

    Iker Muniain

    2 goals and 1 brilliant assist vs Celta today. He looks rejuvenated this season, wonderful performances.

    Do we have a GK and potential world class CB in the pipelines?

    There are a lot of tall and quality GK prospects around that age group. Jose Suarez, Inaki Pena, and I think a Russian/German fellow who's 6'4 as well in Cadete A?
