Barca culture will continue after Bartomeu too. Next in line after Koeman is Xavi.

18/19 was his last "huurah" in terms of trying to will the team to win. I doubt he has enough to single handedly save Barca again. He is 33 ffs, give the lad a break.

I hope a team wins LL that hasn't in a while, like Sevilla or some complete underdog like Getafe. LL needs to have it's Leicester City moment.

The man is 33 and probably doesn't even want to play for this team ffs. We should be honored with the way he played today.

He should just go for the "hunger/team spirit" angle and play players that actually want to win. Play all the youngsters with Messi and Coutinho starting. Develop them so next season or in two seasons Xavi has an easier time. At least the matches will be entertaining and our team will look like...

Makes very good runs and doesn't stand looking for a pass like the pussies Griezmann and Dembele. His passing is definitely not barca level but he offers something those two don't.

I don't even know what to make of him. This sport is a strange game. He plays excellent for Holland yet looks mediocre for us. Is it the pressure of wearing the Blaugrana? Not like we are the Barca of past with being favorites for every title. It's just strange, second season and he isn't...

First half was more 4-3-3 imo.

Same here, I feel like i really wasted my time. I'll still browse this forum but not sure if I want to watch every match this season. It's basically a continuation of Setien football

Starting Dembele was an odd decision imo, dude looked totally lost in the first half. His first touch was worse than EPL div 2 player. Fati and Cou have to be undisputed starters imo, with Dembele and Griezmann as reinforcements off the bench.

Sell own goal, buy a real CF

Puig? Thought Koeman hated manlets...

Neto great save, MATS would've probably been frozen there.

That's why I don't want Xavi. Dude will think it's 2011 and try to play tiki taka with this shadow of a squad. Xavi is one stubborn mofo.

Araujo is a better defender imo, stronger too. Ansu has been great, way more dangerous than sleepy Dembele and impotent Griezmann

Nothing will fix this team until Bartomeu is out. It's not even about Messi anymore imo.

Both Fati and Coutinho are surely undisputed starters at this point. Griezmann and Dembele cannot create any attacking chances by themselves.

I'm not entirely sure, he even has his favorite manager in Koeman on the team. Is BBZ right? Does Messi screw up the team tactics that much?

Yep, FDJ has been massively disappointing for me considering all the hype.

Surely griezmann being on has to be because of his pricetag, there's just so much politics going on with this club now that I'm not ever sure if decisions are made for sporting purposes or political purposes...
