    Ronald Koeman

    Messi has gone to PSG and they are doing even worse then they were before so I don't even know if having him is some huge upside that people claim (in his later years obviously). He left Barca, we went from 3rd place to 2nd despite having a weaker squad and poor summer transfer window. He went...

    Bundesliga

    Small teams in Germany pretty regularly pinching points off Bayern but losing 2-0 and 3-0 to them in 2 games is expected apparently, when you have some of the best players in the world.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Frenkie is the actual 'silent impact'. Never seems to get a lot of praise for the games he plays, but there is a night and day difference between when he is and isn't there. All our best performances come with him on the field and most of the worst ones with him off. He is making a difference.

    La Liga 2022/23

    According to xPTS Sociedad should only be 1 behind us, and should be 2 ahead of Madrid. Poorer player quality undoubtedly the reason why they won't be able to capitalise on playing well.

    La Liga 2022/23

    And the difference is that despite being under the cosh they still get forward and create. There's what happens.

    Xavi Hernández

    It's just really hard to believe LaLiga and titles long-term can be won this way. A thing you need to see with your own eyes to believe it. If we seriously create a great long-term project playing like this every game, more fool me. For me it is more important that we build proper patterns of...

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Ansplant

    It's a big W for Jamdav and Malvolio and all the other backers of MATS who I forget, though there were few at the time last season. I was one of the ones asking for him to be replaced... Totally missed the mark, he has been phenomenal so far this season and easily best player of the team. Not...

    Xavi Hernández

    Work in progress implies there is progress being made. The way I see it, we have only regressed from last season despite adding much better players. Today's game was the norm more than it is the exception, that's the problem. You don't build anything long-term this way.

    Xavi Hernández

    If we were actually a defensively strong team who didn't concede many chances would definitely be worthy of praise, but we're not. Our defense is a superman goalkeeper who seems to be saving everything that comes at him, aided by the fact there is hardly any quality attackers in most LaLiga...

    Xavi Hernández

    The honest truth is he doesn't see anything wrong with how we play as long as we get the 3 points. He can say whatever he wants to the press but... Actions speak louder than words, and regardless of what he says about 'obligations', 'Barca DNA', or 'dominance', we are seeing the same type of...

    Xavi Hernández

    Instead of using our vastly superior squad quality to blow away the opposition, we use it to nick a goal and then play keepaway with the ball for the entire game. Quality of managing in Spain is terrible and probably worst out of all the top5 leagues but there is a lot of the season remaining...

    La Liga Round 17: FC Barcelona - Getafe 1-0

    Will be interesting to see if we even win Europa League. Will make an absolute mockery of LaLiga if a team who gets knocked out of CL group stage and then EL goes an entire LaLiga season conceding a dozen goals.

    They don't come along, this is how we play more often than not, let's be honest.

    Pep's gameplan now is just cross to Haaland.

    Daniel Alves

    So far: Alves has changed his statement several times, initially claiming he didn't know who she was, then claiming they had consensual sexual relations together, then claiming it was her who forced him on top of her and not him. The woman for her part has allegedly given a very consistent and...
