I think it's very telling the most memorable moments of Nico and Gavis appearances with the first team is the fouls they made to stop attacks. If there is any indication that players are out of their depth it is that. And it is normal unless you are an absolute generational talent like Ansu was...

Which is why I again say he needs to have a full season with Barca B, the only thing he is picking up from playing with the first team is bad habits and loss of confidence.

They are saying he 'shone' and 'bullied' Bayern's players and that he's an animal because he should have been sent off. Only on Youngcules will you see people praising prospects for nearly getting sent off. Cringe. We are at a point where a youth player will just play 30 minutes no matter how...

Young cules account wetting themselves over the fact he... should have been sent off...

Massive fan of Balde. Always looks dangerous when he has the ball.

This guy subs on 2 kids including Gavi who hasn't even had a pro start yet??? Does he have a brain?

Pep absolutely loved him on a personal level and still couldn't bring himself to give him more than a half of football every month. Maybe there's a reason for it?

Those of us who watch the prem have said over and over again he is nowhere near starting quality, perhaps a spot starter for games against deep blocks where a passing CB can be useful but when there has been pressure on him he has looked bad.

Garcia is good tho guys! He will be dropped for Araujo very quickly (in 4-3-3). Even Koeman will realise he isn't at the level. He is still only 20.

How different this looks from the Barca of old. We are a defensive team now. Not necessarily a bad thing as we would be destroyed if we played attacking football.

Expecting us playing 3-5-2 to concede like 20 goals in 10 minutes is stupid. We are still a professional team with some decent players.. But a point would be a pleasant and positive result.

Koeman is not Pep or Fergie or Lucho, he's Koeman and has a history of being underwhelming at clubs much worse than Barca. He's a hard man without the goods to back it up. He's only here because we can't get a top coach & there's no money

Koeman is getting a taste of his own medicine from Laporta, that is the type of shit he did to several players at every club he's managed. Glad he might understand how it feels to treat ur staff like shit. No smoke without fire!

I really hate Koeman but I also recognise no sane person could expect any manager to challenge for LaLiga or CL with this squad. Chelsea?? They have so many brilliant, young players and world-class players too. Mendy, Mount, Chilwell, Kante, Jorginho, Lukaku, Havertz, etc... And players like...

To undergo surgery on his knee. Great. A 30 year old Braithwaite coming off knee surgery with a contract till mid-2024. We should have pushed him out the door when we had the chance.

I'll be happy with 2 narrow losses or if we manage to take any points away. A lot of our team has been sold off and we didn't sign any replacements so if we can at least be competitive with such a weak squad it is acceptable. But if we use the 3-5-2 we are getting smacked. Just saying now.

Agreed that he needs time. Many new signings integrating, it's a bit harder of a division and we are objectively working with a worse squad. A lot of nice passing but no goal is the best way I saw it summed up.

11 - Nils Mortimer One of my favourite players in Barca B. Nils Mortimer is a 20-year-old homegrown winger who can play both left and right-wing equally as well. He is a quick, resourceful player that gets involved in final moves easily and is very active in the final third. Nils didn't...

10 - Lucas De Vega Lucas De Vega is a 21-year-old homegrown player that plays in the typical 'Number 10' role. A versatile attacking midfielder who can get forward and support the attack and has a lot of progression in his passing. Since being promoted to Barca B in 2019 he hasn't made much...
