seemed a bit too eager to prove himself. still a bit ridiculous to disqualify him on the basis that he makes mistakes that Busquets, one of the smartest pivots in history with 15 years of experience, doesn't. prioritizing a minimum of mistakes is how you end up with an old ass midfield. as...

makes for a much nore dynamic team with him in the pivot. not a good performance but just from the few times he received the ball from back and managed to turn around and drive it forward, it was so clear what he brings compared to busquets. would much rather lose the ball once in a while than...

our football looks downright bureaucratic compared to this PSG side. we somehow manage to look rigid and confused and the same time

he looks back to i'd say his 2016-2019 form

ridiculous to suggest he's out of time already. especially since he has shown glimpses of greatness. but he certainly has his work cut out for him. and now that we actually have plenty of quality in the squad it's easy to see the appeal in getting a reliable, established manager who knows how to...

What about that Maffeo lad? Would prefer him to Foyth any day

One thing has to be said and that is the fact that we actually were able to -- a good number of times -- create attacking movements in which the wingers got the ball with the space and momentum from which you would expect a goal or at least a dangerous chance. it just so happened that Dembele...

yeah the main issue isn't that Gavi and Pedri were moving around in those pockets, it's that they looked stuck in there. Anybody who's every played football knows how much more difficult and disorienting it is to deal with a dynamic opponent. Consistency is easy to mark because you don't...

The midfield style just doesn't work. It produces nothing offensively and it's a huge liability defensively. How many times did we play out through Gavi or Pedri in that default setup and actually made something happen? Not once I think. Then when we press, they're all over the place, both...

This is the biggest challenge of playing attacking possesion football: you have to be very good at feeling out the situation -- when it calls for advancement and when it calls for cooler heads to prevail. Very often it's a question of advancing with composure, of looking for executions while...

Our attacks generally lack ambition and confidence. We settle for half-hearted crosses instead of looking for the cutting passes. Very few combinations through the middle. Even promising counter attacks just get pushed out to the winger for a cross. When we run into dead-ends we often just...

well I think with the way I phrased it -- "i just find it hard to get over" -- it was clear that it was more of a personal subjective grievance than a substantial complaint but fair game

damn, should have said the first game

excuse me but without good posture you won't get anywhere in life! shoulders back, chest out, and a big smile. that's the only way to face this rotten ungodly world of ours

great on the ball but i just find it so hard to get over the slugghish attitude. that drop of the chin everytime he has to cover ten metres

clearly brings something that neither Gavi, Pedri or Busquets can do. created more in more cameo on the wing than raphinha did all game

some of the most disgusting behavior i think i've ever seen from a club towards their player

not gonna lie it's a strange decision to keep two particularly old and slow dms in the same squad

we don't really exploit spaces and we don't have much sophistication in the attacks. overall our game seems pretty random and pretty ordinary. yeah we'll probably be better than last year but that's not much. with this squad we should be challenging for CL and I honestly don't see it. might...
