Valverde with the current team would win LaLiga easily and probably deep CL run.

He has his own slightly strange profile that is still slowly developing. Often the best players/highest potential players do invent their own style and there's nobody to compare them to, as they are actually generational. He has the markings of a goalscoring midfielder but who can also play...

His gait is painful to watch. He used to be pretty fast before his injuries. Needs a lot of physical rehabilitation before he can shine again.

Gotta keep himself fresh to finish the chances. You often see that the strikers that do a lot of pressing and dirty work tend to have worse finishing because they're more worn out and tired when chances fall to them. Especially at 34 needs to manage the tank.

Frenkie Lewa Memphis

Gavi always kisses the guy who scores. It's his thing.

Collado on bench for Elche, but Gumbau starts.

Well it's a gamble because against this Real we can't afford to drop any points as they will surely continue to pick them up. We're in a title race now not an experimentation period so these things have to be done on-the-go and with great judgement. However, Memphis tends to score against...

Bench for Busquets

3-1 Barca win

What would we have won against Bayern, the 'beat Bayern in group stage trophy'? A game against Real away at the Bernabeu in LaLiga is one of the biggest games we'll play outside of direct trophy winning games. He also was great against Real in the Super Cup.

I take it you missed us playing Madrid twice under Xavi? Or were those not important games?

He is a lovely guy. When he played for Barca B he was the only player who would stay and sign everything for the fans, never missed anyone out. Works hard and very respectful. Happy to see he is doing well so far in his move away. Looks like he didn't get a fair shake at Espanyol, as certainly...

Sevilla are at a very low level right now. Doesn't mean a lot to beat them.

He has a underrated burst and incredible speed that also suits him to channel running and playing wide, his recovery speed helps a lot in defense as well as an outlet to carry the ball out.

Fede is quality and clutch. He's a complex player to fit in tactically, a lot of different characteristics that don't clearly assign him to midfielder or forward, but Ancelotti has worked out how to get the best out of him in that false RW role.

3-0 on 0.8 xG? They were decent chances but usually unless you're Real you don't overperform your xG that much on big European away nights. Perhaps if we found one goal though we would have gained momentum and added more. And there's no denying that Bayern is in a bad moment right now. They...

I imagine most of the team haven't had an opportunity to get into a proper top speed sprint yet. A lot of the running has been short distance sprints.

He is working with a squad of incredible talent, and we are seeing it game by game.. These guys make things happen purely based on brilliance regularly and that is how we score most of our goals, with great bits of quality. Winning nothing is totally unacceptable. And my question is, what...
