Perfect post? His first bullet point is already flawed haha No one is saying Frenkie would walk into Busquets single DM role and be amazing. What we HAVE said is despite playing in that position like twice in a year, he wasnt much worse than Busquets. We actually won both games..so it's safe to...

Man, you fellas are dense. You can get points against a team yet still struggle or have difficulty against them. I didnt think I'd have to spell it out, but for some of you ya just gotta speak slow and clearly.

As I said, historically we have difficulty away from home at Anoeta. We struggled to get points, it doesn't mean we didnt.

All facts. I made a post also explaining that Xavi changed the tactics and line up randomly vs simply playing De Jong in Busquets role. It twisted the whole team up and was an obvious, unneeded mistake. We've watched our DM be trash for years, especially awful last season, then you criticize a...

Not to mention he was the one targetted and exposed in most of the losses as well.

We are about to win a game without Busquets in a stadium we historically have difficuly in... even after Xavi did his absolute best to play the worst tactics and line up he possibly could.

You have some serious reading comprehension issues. Reread what I said and try again.

Xavi's genius adjustment for the second half is to now have Pedri playing deep in a double pivot with De Jong instead of Gavi. However, Xavi and other coaches could never make a mistake, right?

Dude you are hilarious. Busquets gets picked there all the time, or he's just not there in the first place because he got caught upfront and it's been 10 seconds and he's still not back in position yet. Busquets is a DM that makes everyone else defend for him. The tactics and line up has been...

People wondering why our midfield looks like shit. Why not just play De Jong in Busquets role? Instead he's playing a 3-2-4-1 with Balde playing forward vs Raphina for some reason and Gavi playing deep like a double pivot with Frenkie. Xavi has played Xaviball all preseason and game one. Then...

The problem really hasnt been midfield. It was a goaltending mistake and poor set piece defending. What actually makes sense is them wanting Auba, because despite playing a back 3, the rest of the line up are average to below average goal scorers.

I would of expected Xavi to prioritize pressing and triangles, having the midfield always be available for a quick pass. A quick ball into space to fast wingers would of been a bonus. Instead we have a midfield that is miles apart, wingers alone on the touchline and a team built around...

Yea but Alonso is almost as old as Alba and it's questionable whether he is more effective going forward and he is definitely worse on defense. I rather bring in 25mil for Auba and spend it on a younger, class LB or RB. We could survive with Alba and Balde this season. RB should be priority over...

The only thing that drives me crazy is watching us get knocked out of CL and lose countless games due to Busquets either being out of position or getting exposed by every top side. Xavi has loyalty to players he played with and Busquets is a close friend. There is no footballing reason why...

We've both explained it very clearly yet you keep using the same excuse. It's not up for discussion anymore. Xavi caters to Busquets. It doesnt work against top opposition. It barely even works against La Liga teams. It didnt work last season. It's not working this season. A team built around...

The point he is making is that it is kind of hard for De Jong to be considered a top CM when he is playing in a flawed system that is built around Busquets (I laughed out loud typing that because it's so fucking ridiculous). Not to mention last season he was not only babysitting Busquets, but...

I would like one of our fullbacks to be a well rounded, balanced player. He obviously needs to be able to attack as well, not strictly a defensive option. The other should be given free reign to attack, like Alves in the past. A dribbler who can take on defenders like Frimpong would be a good...

How is that any sort of point. I compared Dest being better for national team to Barca. I didn't mention Frimpong for national team at all. He plays great in Germany, for his club. He can do anything Dest can do, he's just faster and can do it better. If we could sell Dest for 20mil and bring...

Interesting comment. When was the last time you saw Dest dribble past, or even take on an opponent in the final third successfully? I can't remember either. Dest has offered very little other than fancy footwork going forward since joining, so not sure how they are the same. If his...

Frimpong has pace, dribbling and balls. He can beat defenders and get into the box. We havent had that since early Alves. Meunier is already 30 and he's average going forward and not great defensively. Flushing money down the toilet. At least you get someone who is effective going forward in...
