It is apparent that Aleñá and Oriol are his most preferred youth players.
I miss Oriol Busi.
We are basically playing without midfielders.
5 defenders + Gumbau 2.0 + 3 useless forwards who aren't doing anything + Aleñá too lazy without ball
Alena's decision making has been suspectful lately and his finishing is also pretty poor. People will probably blame Gerard but he needs to improve a lot if he wants to have regular first team minutes next season.
I think Rivera was good. Hongla struggled at first but once he adapted was solid as well. I also like Costas-Cuenca CB partnership.
Palencia had a disappointing performance again imo.
Both Cucu and Miranda don't seem to have top footballing intelligence as well.
I have been watching them for years now and they often don't seem to know which player they have to mark during the counter-attack and set-piece. Up till now, all three have been compensating these problems by being a hardworker on the field but it won't obviously work as they go to the upper level. Must improve a lot to survive here but unfortunately they will have to wait until they are promoted since López is completely incapable of improving his players defensively.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
