Luuk was sensationally good, he has no reason for any excuse, seems like a professional, humble and nice guy! He wasn't supposed to come of course (blame previous board and then Koeman) but he himself - perfect!

Since Hasan Sas delivered him his hair, he has been absolutely great! I always saw his potential though, and never understood his critics, but oh well

Yeah good video, I agree with his analysis. I thought what we saw from the beginning of the game was very promising, didn't really see them play that well under Xavi a lot. Then I agree with him that we should look at the players first for the downfall, I think the defenders were too quick to...

Sure, and no shit a player who has the tool box of 1. Dribble 2. Whip in a cross 3. Play the safest pass possible back to the RB/closest MF will have a decent passing percentage if you get rid of all the crosses. On whoscored Busquets is on 89% and Dembele on 82% overall this season. Sofascore...

He was idealistic and not pragmatic from the start. I like that and I think that is what Barcelona needed and needs. Valverde was very pragmatic and he got to stay for a few years and stalled a team with the GOAT that the club will never see again in maybe his best years. It was OK, but not the...

You called people here clowns, but you were very negative towards Setien IIRC. Yeah I cannot disregard Quiques man management and status, they are part of the deal, but it would surely help if the board had given him complete trust, instead of wanting to replace him immediately (and god knows...

Doubt these numbers, link them. Here are fbref numbers, 74% this season, 72.5% last season: https://fbref.com/en/players/b19db005/all_comps/Ousmane-Dembele-Stats---All-Competitions#all_stats_passing Busquets worst season was 86.9%...

He could play up there, he already does sometimes in games. He can find the right solutions from there as well, but has a longer distance back when something (mostly Dembele) fails... Yeah you could try that, and have a true destroyer behind him, and change the entire system and philosophy and...

lol I can't keep track of which of you were positive towards Quique or not. I don't think Birdy is really intellectually honest here, but who knows.... My view of Setien was always that he would be a GREAT coach for Barcelona if only he had the power to transmit his ideas completely. I think...

No team has performed close to 2011 Barcelona in the 12 years since. Sure, you could break it all apart, try something completely different, to try to imitate the team of the day (playing at 50% of 2011 Barcelona for short spurts of time and then getting back to being entirely mediocre) but...

lol@easy pases in his own half You watch the games, right? He is the spark, last year or something he regularly made insane assists from his own half, through three lines of opponents, it was INSANE, this year maybe he doesn't do that as much, but he is the one who tries to break the opponents...

Is this the one game ever where you could see that trend? Busquets is needed to be the spark in this team, since the AMs and the wingers offer NO creativity, and also lack A LOT in their off the ball movement. Some game maybe he falls under 80%, but was he ever close to 75% over a few games...

Why is this poster "Jamdav"etc here? Replying to all the threads with a sandy pussy without ever reading what he responds to? Did he use to post better before? He is blatantly destroying this forum with his negativity and smallmindedness!? Can he ever agree to anything? Can he post something...

Pep has played like this with his wingers, f.e when he had Sterling and Sane. Henry goes on about how genius Pep was for giving him this instruction back then too. Problem is when you rely too much on creativity from there, and are too soon to get the ball there. Dembele is a cul de sac, he...

He only needs to retain the form he had for the last few days and it will be ez to turn this around

They were similarly good, but Suarez is the same age as Messi, so. Eto'o could maybe sort of have a case some year, even if I don't remember which, Suarez wasn't ever close to Messi, and I believe Ronaldo too either scored more or won more pretty much every year.

I said that he was Barcelonas worst player ever or close to it, after maybe 2 performances. First I was going to make a comment about Bellerin and those saying he has been very bad at Barcelona and that it's hard to judge after only 3 starts from him, but Emerson shows it is possible. I didn't...

With the right mindset he could learn more from Busquets than from anybody else I can think of. The problem looks to me to be that he got a guaranteed spot too early, and with that came the laziness and stagnation. He is apparently playing well enough to start each and every time both for...

Not against using hyperbole comparisons for arguments, but dragging Messi into the conversation about Dembele is just wrong. Raphinha is on a higher xA than Dembele this season btw, wouldn't be surprised if he out-assists Dembele this season in the end. Not that I think Raphinha is a very...

Yesterday: 30 minutes, 2 shots, 0 on target. 47,1% pass completion (forty seven point one percent) Apart from the game back in October against Athletic where he assisted thrice and scored once, he has scored twice and made zero assists in his last 16 games for Barcelona.
