Well if he would move to CB it would mainly be because we now have a top-class RB option. Kounde at RB was far from ideal but was an adaptation that had to be made when we failed to pick up and RB and only choice was Roberto. Kounde in his natural position can offer more things.

So only CL counts now and not league games, not even direct head to head against Madrid... meanwhile only thing that is held up to judge Xavi is league and if use CL to judge Xavi you are a manipulator. Both of them matter, not just CL, not just LaLiga, both of them get used to evaluate teams...

Xavi isnt incompetent. I think he's decent and certainly better than Koeman (whilst receiving more support) but has a lot of improvement before he can be considered one of the best coaches, which is expected for Barca.

True.. Serghei thought the situation was hopeless and club were going to fall into ruins whilst being repeatedly told otherwise by other people. Fast forward, we won a La Liga, could be on course for a next La Liga and have one of the best teams in Europe despite a tight budget. He got it...

Everyone with a brain that could see the context going on knew Barca wasn't a 9th placed team, obviously, you have to be a real idiot to have thought that. Sometimes you need to do deeper analysis of things rather than just 'X team won this so they are good' 'X team placed here so they must be...

Its just difficult to conversate with you about football topics because your opinions are like a horde of chameleons that change colour every 6 seconds. Its impossible to figure out what you really think and you say contradictory stuff in every argument then claim was a metaphor or you were...

Nobody's counting that. The problem is you just purposefully make it hard to decipher what your real position is on something and deflect when asked about it. You avoid giving posters something they can challenge and hold you to because you know these opinions are dumb and follow no real...

Part of giving your opinion on something is being able to see things coming/predict trends before they happen. Your view on everything is essentially, I will agree with you once I see it happen, that's not a real opinion, its fence sitting. Do you think Madrid will continue to be a top team or...

Yeah, but we had easily better H2H, right? We won out in a fairly large sample size. So we proved the better team in H2H encounters and in a 38 game league season. As said yes we went out in groups but Inter are better than Liverpool/Chelsea at that time really.

We already smacked Madrid around many times and you still don't concede we are the better side, lol, so you already admitted h2hs dont matter for you. First full season under Xavi... league domination against them, many Clasico wins, then in CL we got put out by Inter who in fairness are a...

We could beat any of them right now. Our problem isnt the quality. Its the mental problems we have with European games. Chelsea Liverpool and PSG were shite last season. Chelsea finished like 11th, Liverpool 5th and PSG the usual.

Madrid weren't the best team in the world the season after the CL win. They had shown major deficiencies in league as well however because we were reeling from Messi loss and FFP we gave them a headstart is the truth. Xavi or another competent manager comes in in the summer and the board...

Again this same argument can be made in other nonsensical situations. Can say Chelsea were CL winners in 2021... how can any team be expected to finish above them... they won the CL!! And ended up losing the league title handily the next year and not even being in the contest for it. Just...

Jamdav made a lot of hits on his predictions last season, just a fact, tbh. Not fair to take credit away, he wasn't wrong. MATS/FDJ ended up probably being our two MVPs, we won league very easily and Madrid got cooked in CL. He predicted the season well.

There's an easier way to do what you're doing : just compare the squad by using your own eyes and looking at the players. Worse squads have achieved much bigger things than amazing squads. The achievements clubs have come down to more factors than just the squad quality. Madrid also won fuck...

Its true but that doesn't lower the expectations here. The baseline goal should be LL and CL QF. Anything else is a bonus.

I still dont understand how winning the league isn't a indicator of squad strength but going out in the groups is an indicator of squad strength, when you have said yourself we went out in the groups due to many injuries and referees, not a weak squad.

Seems that Kounde is great in a lot of facets. Good defensively, physically robust, good progressor of the ball, his only big weakness imo is the error propensity/brainfarts.

Goes both ways really. We have gotten 3 wins at Villarreal/Cadiz/Osasuna and all 3 could easily have been draws. Just as 3 or 4 games for them could easily have been draws. Seems to be a pattern this league follows. Smaller teams incapable of holding results at the bigger teams.

Muscles are never as strong after injury, and he keeps repeatedly injuring the same ones. There may well be weakness there and also more chances to fuck up recovery and cause imbalances when keep injuring one muscle on one side.
