I don't believe Xavi when he says he wants the team to defend with the ball. That's absolutely not the approach we have seen the past few games. In Mallorca - after 1-0, sat back and time wasted In Pamplona - Sat back and time wasted after 2-1 In Espanyol - Sat back after 1-0 again It is clear...

Granada 0.8xG - Barca 0.86xG That is concerning.

That's part of it but being on a yellow defending a 1-0 lead it is an inexplicable challenge, Unnecessary with hardly any reward. It appeared to me like he made it more out of frustration than anything, remember the first Bayern game? It reminded me a little of that. But he is 17 and he will...

Aggression is fine but you need to be calculated and tackle with the correct technique. Gavi many times this season has just ran at opponents and shoved them instead of making a proper challenge, or lunging in like today.

If Aston Villa is covering a big part that should make a good chunk of the income to register Ferran. We may also have some left over from Pique's wage cut, as such, it only looks like we need a little more (Demir, Luuk?) Ferran has reported to be on a lower contract as well.

Fractured his wrist. This is ridiculous, he's constantly picking up knocks every other game. May be linked to the way he plays? It's not like he has brittle bones or someshit lol

We are sacrificing the salary cap this season to have a much bigger cap in the seasons to come, instead of spreading the pain out over multiple seasons. Means we can make big signings much faster than we otherwise would have given we have the capital.

Werner and Havertz were starters for a CL winning team in their first season in England. Hardly duds, despite not scoring a ton of goals.

Although media's haven't said it there may be some penalty clause, even if it is minor, that we are reluctant to pay.

2-0 and 1-2 is hardly a great example of destruction. Against the arguably best team in the world, with a ton of money and a world class coach. Actually seems more of an example for the stars you decry than not.

Unfortunately that looks like it's literally what it is, lol. His exit looked like the closest but negotiations with his agent haven't gone well.

If it's BS it's worse. Even though that would be pretty embarrassing that means we don't have to cope with the way bigger embarrassment and legal trouble of not registering him. Now if we don't make any exits this window we will be forced to sign CVC, sell Barca Studios or some other...

Judging by what we saw he defo has usefulness from the bench and occasionally starting. It's very hard for him to overtake any midfield prospects, but if he plays solid games like that, he'll get his share of minutes.

Que Thi Jugues : Barcelona wanted to include a clause to return Ferran Torres to Man City if they failed to register him. Lol. What a disaster. Basically if we don't make exits we will be forced to sign CVC or sell Barca Studios to save face.

I doubt there's any offers that even match half his salary unless they're from Qatar or Saudi Arabia. I don't blame him too much if we are asking him to third or quarter his wage to move somewhere else. That lies on Bartomeu.

There is a honeymoon for youth players in their first seasons in the A team. Once they have spent enough time in the first team people judge them by their real standards. Puig has been in and around the first team for a while now so he lost that hubris being 22. Also consider Puig was touted...

The point is they are more than physically capable to press and do more work off-the-ball, Haaland especially (I have no idea where you got the idea Haaland is 'only good with the ball').

Absolutely. Haaland, Vinicius and Mbappe are physical monsters. Messi and Neymar are aging and much worse physically than they were before. Teams can be unbalanced by too many stars but it's becoming a platitude recently, it doesn't apply to every situation and there have been many teams that...

Props for a good game yesterday

I thought he had a good game actually, and definitely in terms of statistics.
