Lamine is our best playmaker but needs to look at players in better positions more. I mean, of course take some shots if you have a good spot, but MUST learn to pass more final balls, he is amazing at them

if we can save pedri, lamine, rafa, lewa and frankie (perhaps balde too) it would be great

Olmo is due a golazo and a great performance. might be saving it for CL

these close games are not his best but he can still deliver dearly crosses and defends with his heart. I noticed he also moved to the right so lamine can operate centrally when ferran was subbed in. I like this twist, adds another headache to the defenders.

His era cannot be compared to today. I never said he is inferior or superior. I said I will not compare players from a semi professional era (that is a fact, not an opinion) to today's machines.

I am 35yo. I will not tell you my opinion about Pele or any other player playing in a semi professional era. I can tell you I don't like Lewandowski's play style. Regardless he is on of the beat pure strikers I have seen.

Strikers are mostly ranked by goals scored, so I really don't get the first paragraph. As you can see, you will be hard pressed to find more strikesrs better than him, and throwing Pele in the mix... c' mon..

This might be the case and a correct call. But it still makes you think... would the goal be canceled if this was madrid conceeding... absoluteley yes..

We most probably don't win the CL this season. Regardless of that, you do realize the Lewa is in the top 10 (I think no. 7) of all time in goals scored, so he already is a top 10 striker. So an argument of top 5 strikers if he manages another CL with Barca at this age is not a bad argument.

That is irrelevant to the current form of Lewa. He belives he can be considered a top 5 striker for the totallity of his career if he also manages a CL with Barca at fucking 37 years old. Pretty logical I would say.

It has been like watching a horror film, every time a team crossed against us with Mats. I would sucrifice some "ball playing ability" or whatever, for not having that mini heart attack on every cross

I am pretty sure no one changed their mind. His contribution and overal play is still not good, compared to the rest of the team, and will not improve, due to age. People are just happy he finally had a really big imact and fulfilled his role, which, since he is not here for the joga bonito and...

I mean.. surely if we win CL everything went right but hindsight is 20/20. A striker like Alvarez would probably be much better for us in 2024-2025 than Lewa. That doesn't mean that stars won't align for us to win, or even win big. But looking at this calmly, it's clear that Lewa is on his last...

Why sell Ferran? Is he on hight wages? Has he ever complained about his sub role? If yes, then sure. Apart from that he has proven himself to be a crucial part of the squad and the team's success.

We must try and repeat the 0-6 on the copa return leg then
