The gloating in here eats a bit of my soul just by watching from a distance. So unworthy of "human beings"! Puig played probably his worst game in Barcelona so far, but was pretty much the only spark of greatness in that first half. Xavi wanted Frenkie in together with Pique and Dembele to...

I was negatively surprised today, but I think it was mostly because of lack of motivation (unconsciously probably) by Alves as well as the entirety of the team. He did show some of his brilliance in the last 10 minutes of the game, when half of the Linares players had given up in every...

On the goal: Yes Puig and Alba both fell when one should've pressed and one should've followed the player that initally was marked by Puig. Ironically Puig has been criticized for not falling. It was a one second misunderstanding that lead to a Deportivo Linares player being unpressed on the...

Let's hope "Arujo" is a new RB :) Alves makes a lot of sense as RW - if there was an RB available. Araujo is decent and Mingueza too, but I prefer both at CB. I guess one of them needs to be a wing back today, if Alba isn't "midfielder" in the 3-4-3 again...

And I could only be negatively surprised, I expect him to play like the best RB in the world. He would be a great signing even if he is far from it, but he looked like he was in the game against Boca... Let's see!

Was long ago I agreed with you I think, but this seems pretty good to me! For me personally, it would be so interesting to see Dani, Busi, Riqui together. Eric, Alba, Riqui and Busquets should make a very good left flank too, although I became less impressed by Garcia as the season has progressed.

Not true, he did go towards the carrier a bit too much for my taste (something that Pedri and Frenkie does A LOT more too much) but mostly only when they had no real alternative and was beginning to contemplate the hoof. He never lost the ball in these cases. Frenkie played no.6 and was out of...

He played a great through ball to Sergi Roberto this pre season, also his long pass to Dani Alves was brilliant. Also did you see his flick to Luuk de Jong on sunday that I mentioned in another post? He has these very nice line breaking passes close to the box that really could be a weapon, too...

Obviously a bit tongue in cheek there, but yes these are reminiscent moves to me. 1. Only talking about the shot feint and awareness, copy of Messi, didn't see it very often by any other player. Betis had one player 20 years ago who did a similar waiting move but with an elastico, but I forgot...

What users wanted him badly again? I should maybe be a bit more far-sighted and keep track of some of the things that are said here to counter some of the very far-sighted and petty users :)

If Barcelona win the game in hand, they're only 12 points behind leaders Real Madrid, with 18 games to go. There is a saying, less difference in points than games left, and it is still possible... I think it's possible! Not probable of course, but remember 2004... Maybe Alves can be a bit like...

Barcelona are unbeaten since his injury. 2 draws and 2 wins, all games with at least ,5 advantage in xG v xGA. That happened in only 2/7 of the games prior to Depays injury. Barcelona are very much lacking quality up front right now, but I think Ferran Jutgla, Luuk de Jong, and Ilias Akhomach...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-XRntbASBw 1:37 Messi-like! 2:20 Busquets-like! 2:28 Iniesta-like! 2:44 Xavi-like! Many more nice small moments in the little vid, but it lacks the perhaps nicest one: the Puig-like little one touch flick with the outside of his foot, over the defenders leg...

I prefer him to everyone there but Modric, Bernardo and maybe Kimmich. But it's a definition of what is "better". He surely couldn't do what Fernandinho does, but neither could Fernandinho do what he does. Gavi is perhaps better, or will become better, at what Puig does, but it shouldn't be the...

Even if this was true, he could still be beaten tactically, mentally and technically, and I think he was, and I think he has been beaten physically too on a number of occasions. I think his ball playing abilities are underrated in a way, he looks worse than Chiellini and he is worse than...

Your edit was your mistake.

They have put up quite a few nice shots from training by Riqui. I have seen some in games too... https://twitter.com/FCBarcelona/status/1477429671285436419

lol! how would you explain the mechanics behind that?

Morata has scored 18 goals in 34 competitive caps, it is very much decent. 9 of the games he wasn't starting, either. For a comparison, Torres scored 28 in 65 games. Since that u21 tournament he played with Thiago, I always saw him as a natural goal scorer, but he seems to be on a 10 year draugt...

Riqui was MOTM contender his last 2 starts, will he be once again? Let's find out!
