Yeah I believe prime Cristiano would score quite a few goals playing for that Barcelona, but I wonder if the team would be so much stronger after losing the pressing of Pedro/Villa... The wingers needed to be pretty clinical, and be both quick in behind the defense and able to play very well and...

IIRC most posters here were extremely negative towards the thought of bringing players like Cucurella and Olmo back to Barcelona when I proposed it a few years ago. Very easy to laugh about stuff like this afterwards, but how many would see Cucurella as a key part of this team before the...

I just had their MLS years, but it is easily fixed! https://fbref.com/en/stathead/player_comparison.cgi?request=1&sum=0&dom_lg=1&player_id1=f090a37a&p1yrfrom=2024&player_id2=2f557579&p2yrfrom=2024&player_id3=d70ce98e&p3yrfrom=2024

please analyse, I have no time rn (right now) https://fbref.com/en/stathead/player_comparison.cgi?request=1&sum=0&dom_lg=1&player_id1=f090a37a&p1yrfrom=2022&p1yrto=2024&player_id2=2f557579&p2yrfrom=2022&p2yrto=2024&player_id3=d70ce98e&p3yrfrom=2023&p3yrto=2024

Nice passion shown from him yesterday!

They were extremely similar in some ways, but complete opposites in others. The similarities is in the smooth technique and in the spatial and temporal awareness. Perhaps you can make the point that a player able to play in this "controlled" way while at the same time regularly be decisive with...

He had no takes though? He just moaned and called the people who had takes and analyses names in very lazy but emotional posts. He destroyed any possibility of fun and clarification, he was one of the worst posters I have come across on any of the many forums I have been on.

By the way, a quite interesting (but long) read this piece about positionism vs relationism: https://spielverlagerung.com/2024/01/10/protagonists-of-the-game-between-absolutism-and-relativism/ That scottish twitter user Jamie Hamilton is the one who coined the term "relationism", and reading his...

I became very disinterested in Barcelona recently, started following my local team very closely instead. I have liked this new guy Fermin on midfield though. Here is a clip I stumbled upon yesterday, with Marti Perarnau basically agreeing with me regarding Frenkie

:confused:

:rolleyes:

Maybe I should change my username to Fermin32 instead!

This guy Fermin "The Vermin" Lopez seems interesting!

Felix almost Puig-like, appearance-wise... I hear the game has not been very Puig-like, however

Oh it's just a loan? I really like this player, since the Benfica days... Nice to see him perform! Imagine if Messi, Busquets (and dare I say the name?) was still there!

Just found out this player is now playing for FC Barcelona. Might watch a game just to see how he plays

What a nasty tackle from that black player, almost a straight red but sent off for a second yellow there. Puig was up and running afterwards and seemed to drive the attacks to equalize anyway. Another example of Puigs dangerous shots is seen on the highlight video: Of course Douglas Costa, but...

4 goals and 2 assists in the last 5 games, almost Messi numbers... Yeah, I remember commenting on some training footage back when he was still at Barcelona, regarding his shooting. He has a surprisingly good touch, actually a bit Messi-like in that it often surprises you by how fast the ball...

Indeed it is!

That pass before the late penalty was also good, showing a bit of why I like his style. He passes to the correct foot at the correct time, like they say delivering the ball "with a post stamp" meaning the player receiving doesn't even have to think but can just continue on with the plan. This is...
