Lol disgusting. All these "Barcelona is still the best team in the world" players need to go. This includes Alba, Busquets, Pique, Roberto, and even Messi. These idiots think it's still 2015 and Bayern, Liverpool, Roma didn't happen.
He is still a league above Lenglet, which is really sad. Gone are the days of Puyol-Pique and Masch-Pique who would straighten him out if he made a mistake. Currently it's like having the class clown lead the backline.
IMO he should go out on loan, he's too good to be benched. I am sure there will be teams like Betis or Celta desperate for his service. Win-win for both parties since we are basically bankrupt.
Like I keep saying, he's the only goal creator on this team besides Messi. Even if he makes really dumb mistakes, he's the only one that can create individual magic to score a goal. This is valuable in a team composed of players absolutely scared to shoot and players who are in terrible form...
Now this is believable. The way the board fuked Alves off was disgusting. My favorite brazilian that played for Barca. The second best RB in the world after Cafu
What's interesting is that it seems like he himself DOESN'T want to be rested. A lot of pro athletes at this stage of their career would themselves be asking for less mins so they can last longer. It seems like he himself doesn't want this. His personal fitness team (if he even has one) is dumb.
A lot, perhaps half of this forum will be gone. You can't really blame them though. Every top team has a portion of their fanbase only following the team because of a certain player. This is not a Barca thing, it's a sports thing.
How has this moron not adjusted his game to VAR? The fuk is wrong with him? Is it more of a "in the heat" moment that he's having? This guy has been so horrible considering the hype in the 18/19 season. Even I hyped him up.
Difference in club culture is being shown here. Just classes above us in the way RM runs the ship. They learned their lesson from the Raul era to let go of players even if they're legends. They were a bit too ruthless at times, but I rather have that than being too nice.
I think a lot of Messi fans here don't understand that our play always has to go through him (he gets like double/triple amount of touches as other players ffs). Blaming it on the teammates isn't 100 % correct. Yes they're not the best, but at the same time he is expected to perform his usual...
:lol: :lol:
Crazy to think they have/had a lot of our players: Deulofeu, Digne (honestly he wasn't bad and should've been kept as backup to Alba), Yerry Mina, Gomes
The lack of intensity he plays with will only work in Serie A, I'm sure of it. LL and EPL is too fast for him now and he doesn't seem up for it. Sure, he might be motivated to play for Pep but how long can he keep it up for? They will need to completely change their tactics to accommodate Messi...
