Can someone with real tactical knowledge (maybe a past coach or player even amateur level) tell me why he played so much under EV and now perhaps under Setien too? I just don’t seem to understand. Is it his positioning? Chemistry with Messi? I’m asking this in a formal fashion

He looked scared out there, rarely did forward passes. Odd game.

I thought he had a great game, but you can tell the speed is not there. He would get eaten alive by fast forwards and wingers cutting inside

Crazy comeback win for Celta, one of the better la liga matches i've seen this season.

great match between Celta and Sevilla. Rafinha gave a great assist for Iago Aspas's goal. Rafinha is a good midfielder when healthy. Also Murillo is a solid CB. Crazy how good these players look when leaving Barca.

Betis 1 Barca 2

Agreed, you would’ve thought the club would’ve said something about Roma and Liverpool

He is in the middle of an absolute shitshow. I do hope the absolute best for him. These next few months have the potential to be a catastrophe for Barca. As a fan, it’s sad but I’m mentally ready for it.

Dumb quote by Abidal , but I do think messi made it much worse. To me it seems as though he’s one of the amigos that’s not happy with EV’s departure. Also as a captain, he should motivate the team and not ask the sporting director to single out bad performers. It doesn’t send a good message to...

If we sign someone, it’ll be something ludicrous like Rodrigo for 80 mill or Moron for 60

The bigger question here is if the lad can even continue playing after all of this. I don’t mean just for Barca, but for any club. I wish him the best in his career. Horrible, horrible planning from our board though. They should’ve known that he wasn’t recovering properly. This is 2020, all of...

Dembele, Coutinho, and now Griezmann. All our 100+ mill attack signings have turned into :shit:

Very poor appearance. Not sure what’s going on with him

I have to agree. If this club was in the EPL it would be fighting for the 5th spot with Man U

If what you say is true, same would apply to other sports.

The nextgen has been such a massive disappointment in tennis. These players are mental midgets and cannot face the pressure of the big stage. At this rate, Federer could probably reach qf/sf of each grand slam until he’s 45. Djokovic will probably finish with 25 grand slams if these young...

ESPN was laughing at this rumor and how much of a terrible fit he is for the club. I’m sorry, but if even ESPN can see it’s not good then there’s something seriously wrong with our board

Still just absolutely devastated. He is a powerful figure to all sports fan here in Southern California. I am just speechless. He still had a lot to contribute to the world with his business ventures and his activism to grow women's basketball. Also extremely sad that his 13 year old daughter...

Absolutely devastated, I took a picture with him at a mall here in SoCal just six months ago. I’m shocked and still can’t believe it.

Can this post please be in the gold standard thread? :worthy:
