Maybe you should watch the replay. What I described is exactly what happened. I think people have no idea what a poacher or tap in merchant actually is. If it wasnt technical, then why isnt every tall, decently fast player scoring goals like him? Oh.

Making a run, controlling the ball perfectly between two defenders, holding off one of the defenders with his body, then using a quick touch to perfectly place it past the goalie isnt a poachers goal. It's just a class goal.

The dude's a troll and is wrong on just about everything. Yet, I still cant resist calling him out on it.

He is class. People who say he's a tap in merchant blah blah are just clueless. Get ready doubters, it's going to be a long season of eating humble pie. Just accept it and be butthurt like me that City shipped us Torres and then signed him instead of us.

Dude you're funny. You'll say anything to not be wrong when you clearly are. Look at recent history, hell look at the last 15 years. There are no French teams winning CL or even Europa while there have been plenty of Spanish teams advancing deep into the competitions or winning them. It doesnt...

Every French team sucks except PSG, and all they've done is crash out of the CL regardless of how much money they spend. You are acting like PSG crushing every poor, falling apart club in France has somehow been impressive the last several years.

I mean, La Liga defenses are far more disciplined than EPl, which is considered the best league right now. The French league is a joke, just look at every other team. There is no consistency in that league besides PSG, and the reason we call it the Farmer's League is obvious.

No, I dont find someone stating a player hasnt been able to cement his place in a position after only being started there twice as reasonable. And like I said, Busquets is awful and wouldnt start for any other top team.

Perfect post? His first bullet point is already flawed haha No one is saying Frenkie would walk into Busquets single DM role and be amazing. What we HAVE said is despite playing in that position like twice in a year, he wasnt much worse than Busquets. We actually won both games..so it's safe to...

Man, you fellas are dense. You can get points against a team yet still struggle or have difficulty against them. I didnt think I'd have to spell it out, but for some of you ya just gotta speak slow and clearly.

As I said, historically we have difficulty away from home at Anoeta. We struggled to get points, it doesn't mean we didnt.

All facts. I made a post also explaining that Xavi changed the tactics and line up randomly vs simply playing De Jong in Busquets role. It twisted the whole team up and was an obvious, unneeded mistake. We've watched our DM be trash for years, especially awful last season, then you criticize a...

Not to mention he was the one targetted and exposed in most of the losses as well.

We are about to win a game without Busquets in a stadium we historically have difficuly in... even after Xavi did his absolute best to play the worst tactics and line up he possibly could.

You have some serious reading comprehension issues. Reread what I said and try again.

Xavi's genius adjustment for the second half is to now have Pedri playing deep in a double pivot with De Jong instead of Gavi. However, Xavi and other coaches could never make a mistake, right?

Dude you are hilarious. Busquets gets picked there all the time, or he's just not there in the first place because he got caught upfront and it's been 10 seconds and he's still not back in position yet. Busquets is a DM that makes everyone else defend for him. The tactics and line up has been...

People wondering why our midfield looks like shit. Why not just play De Jong in Busquets role? Instead he's playing a 3-2-4-1 with Balde playing forward vs Raphina for some reason and Gavi playing deep like a double pivot with Frenkie. Xavi has played Xaviball all preseason and game one. Then...

The problem really hasnt been midfield. It was a goaltending mistake and poor set piece defending. What actually makes sense is them wanting Auba, because despite playing a back 3, the rest of the line up are average to below average goal scorers.

I would of expected Xavi to prioritize pressing and triangles, having the midfield always be available for a quick pass. A quick ball into space to fast wingers would of been a bonus. Instead we have a midfield that is miles apart, wingers alone on the touchline and a team built around...
