We should try again 3-4-3 with Mingueza right, Araujo left, and De Jong center. Would look the best with it. Pedri - Gavi higher up, and Roberto/Dest - Alba on the sides.
Fati - Depay - Dembele when possible up front.
This with a better possession manager would go well imo. Better than current shitshow that's for sure.
Very easy transition into a 4-3-3 as well. Whenever De Jong pushes up, the fullbacks drop a bit and a CBs tighten up inside and you have a back 4 in a couple of seconds.
Nice fifa 22 squad.

Better team than what we have now but it would come with growing pains

Yeah about that - I followed his 'coaching' career in Sweden (Helsingborg IF) and boy oh boy Larsson was clueless. Amazing guy, love him to bits - but he can't coach.
Pimienta: “The problem is that last Tuesday, Bar?a played something that is not played on a defensive level and yesterday on an offensive level. The players are not used to doing what they did on Tuesday or what they did yesterday”.
That's spot on. At the first sign of trouble Koeman ditches any known principle for weird ass offensive or defensive setups we never played before.

That reads like a Setien quote pre signing for Barcelona.
And on that note, since we owe him so much. Let's bring him back. The biggest sporting comeback since Tyson-McNeely in 1995.

I am in favour of this!
New management, some new players. It was very strange what happened with Setien, the first months were great, then the pandemic and a lot of strange decisions that didn't look like his own.
But I don't think Pep or Cruyff or Koeman would go into the middle of the rondo if Messi nodded at them, like Setien did...

Could start Balde the Blade and Yusuf instead of Alpha and Bob every 2nd game or so. Gotta build up that 1st team experience

Ten Haag and Rodgers both would love to come to Barca, and both will be great options to try out, especially Ten Haag.
Problem is none of them is willing to leave their club mid-season...
That's why all these leaks that the new coach will not be a 'patch', but a permanent solution to lead the new project terrify me..
imagine Roberto Martinez 'leading the new project'? WTF?
Laporta, pull yourself together man. Either keep Koeman until the summer or hire an interim until the summer.
We can't afford to waist another 2 years on the wrong coach

Looks pretty solid with 2 exceptions:
1) Please, I don't wanna see ever again the name 'roberto' in any starting Barca XI
Dest will play there
2) We need also a WC physical box-to box. Pedri and Gavi are not enough.
Someone like Renato Sanches.
3) Balde to rotate with Alba
Other than the above, I agree and I think Frenkie should finally play there. That's his position
With Ansu and Dembouz upfront, we can tear apart some defences

This team would get murdered on the flanks. Even more so than it already does.

Why?
3-4-3 with Frenkie at libero produced the most security at the back last season against top opposition (Sevilla twice, PSG, Bilbao)
On the contrary, they same teams (sevilla and PSG) were murdering us on the flanks some weeks before, exploiting the 4-3-3 and the wide gaps the full-backs leave
I think Rodgers is also an excellent coach but so is Martinez. One thing for certain is that he's far superior to Koeman. Everton were just badly hit with injuries and aging players after his first season but we played great football for that first season.
