It's funny how Setien at one of first press conferences promised that no matter what, he would try to make the team play nice football. Fast forward half a year, and the guy only makes to defensive subs in the very end of a CL KO match while benching some of our young, in form offensive players...

Frenkie wants Riqui on the field aswell: "For me, he's more than ready to be a starter for Bar?a, but it doesn't depend on me. We have a lot of good players that can start games, so it's a question for the coach. For me, he has tremendous talent." (sport)

One of the only players with enough intensity for a CL KO game. Shame he wasn't tested at DM. Wouldn't have been hard to sub a dead Raki for Puig and move Frenkie to the DM spot.

Not to mention Eriksen was sold a few months ago for 20mio. and is receiving loads of praise in Italy atm.

Our squad is too old and slow - lets replace one of our youngest players with a 30 year old. We have some of the highest wages in Europe - let's replace one of our lowest earning players with a 30 year past it Pjanic on high wages. Not to mention our stamina issues, lack of hunger, motivation...

Can you elaborate on this maybe? So far I think his attitude is head and shoulders above many of our other players. Very professional, only thing I can remember is him stating that we weren't playing well enough and could improve, which was awfully true.

And what youth players will he be a reference for with Arthur gone? Raki, Busi and Vidal?

Dribbled better than Griezmann the one time he received the ball on the rw:arthur:

Not sure if that's true for De Jong. I even recall BBZ complaining about De Jong making too many long passes or something along those lines based on a highlights video from youtube.

He is saying that Sarabia has a big temper and that he has to learn to control himself. He says that he has to improve because it's already happened before, and that it's getting more sporadical every time. Finally he concludes that it's something that they do not approve of basically. And the...

Was very underwhelmed by him and Gundogan. A far cry from some of the other midfielders Guardiola coached in the past.

Would be the icing on the cake if Rakitic was played as a DM instead of FDJ in the return leg. Remember that EV did this atleast once.

Hope he plays DM in the return leg now that Busi is suspended.

Interested to hear the answer aswell.

Being Danish I've watched Braithwaite play a bunch of times for the national team. He is not good enough at all and 20m would be such a waste of money. And he wouldn't even play 14 games, most likely just a disappointing cameo here and there. Would still not be surprised considering a transfer...

Good thing we didn't sell this guy and replaced him with Eriksen for cheap:bartomeu::bartomeu:

I'm also getting more keen on Lautaro. He would need to step up his goalscoring, but with the amount of chances we create compared to Inter, I believe he can do it. He also has a lot of other key factors going for him such as his age, language and experience in a European top league.

Good point. The Setién thread is honestly such a mess, more than half of the post is EV vs Setíen, which is completely irrelevant. Setién is the coach now, and it should be about him, what he is doing, what improvements he might be making and what he can do better. But I guess you are right, it...
