Cuenca, Alena, Arnaiz, Oriol B, Muniesa, Bartra, Bojan,Deulofeu etc etc etc etc, I mean the list of players who the La Masia cultists convinced everyone would be the next Ballon'dor winners and turned out to barely be LaLiga level is endless and the list grows every year. There are gems in our...

And 'Cule' Twitter is exploding Nico got subbed off after an abysmal first half where he did nothing but jog. One of the problems with the club. It's happened before sheer fan pressure has brought players who are totally not ready into the first-team..

How do you expect Araujo/Pique to defend when they virtually have to cover 5 men? Busi and Nico are going for a light jog around the pitch on Atletico counterattacks and Dest is next to the opponent's goal. Of course they don't know who and how to mark. A double pivot is meant to be a defensive...

If he doesn't lose a significant amount of weight and doesn't significantly improve his work rate he will not succeed here. 2 goals were mostly his fault. Goes forward and the ball is lost, BOTH times opponent drives through his zone and he's jogging back instead of getting back and covering...

Nico and Busi have been diabolical. Somehow manage to stay in their own half the whole game without defending or marking any players. The definition of useless.

A full-back that doesn't know how to track back. Literally the most important thing for the position

Nico goes too far forward and when Lemar drives through the spot he's meant to cover he's lightly jogging back. Hook this guy at HT. Where TF is Dest??????

Coutinho has been the best so far (not saying much) but he has at least been a threat. Depay shit and too slow so far, Gavi has been bad

Twitter is getting at Araujo and Pique who have to basically mark 5 different players because of how poor the midfield coverage is & Dest

We have 2 pivots contributing literally 0 in defense, they don't go forward or track back, just stand still passing sideways, so Araujo and Pique need to press high in the midfield

Coutinho has been a good threat this game

Araujo pressing high so Nico's job to follow the man there, just ended up jogging in a circle totally forgetting what he was meant to do, easy through ball easy goal

Nico doesn't move at all does he? Sitting over Araujo and just watches the ball pass him

Gavi is RW like vs Levante, Coutinho LW

I still have my previous line on them i.e Gavi can contribute and is more or less 'ready' but Nico is further behind, but Gavi also hasn't looked great against better opposition (normal, only 17). Let's see if Nico surprises me today but my thought is he will be poor.

Griezmann benched for Atleti

Where do you think media talk comes from? How about Laporta telling journos Koeman had to play Puig to get a renewal? These reports and stories often come out of Laporta's mouth and in that Puig case was confirmed to be so. All this media speculation and bs about Koeman's position is coming...

I think the main problem is the 12m termination restricted us but Laporta not honest about that for a few months and preferred to leak to the press to force Koeman out

Laporta is such a sneaky and nasty character. No doubt his team have been leaking stories about Koeman's sacking for weeks to the media to try and force him out, but at the end of it, they couldn't get rid of him because of the termination fee as many of us predicted on here. He probably hoped...
